This is the economy that Donald Trump called "A++++++" today.

Your voice is more powerful than threats from a weakening, unpopular president. If they hear enough from you now, legislators may still do the right thing.

Hoosiers, call today and tell them to vote no: 317-232-9400.

Indiana Republicans are under significant pressure to do something they know is wrong: rig the maps and silence voters.

Washington Republicans are demanding a "9–0 map." That’s not democracy - that’s cheating. They know it, and they’re ashamed, which is why they’re hesitating.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

U.S. Reviews Biden Asylum Cases After Shooting A Homeland Security Department spokeswoman accused the previous administration of failing to vet asylum applicants "on a massive scale."

The man identified as the suspect was said to have worked with the C.I.A. and fled Afghanistan in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, a program born after the sudden fall of the Afghan government in 2021, when the United States withdrew its forces and the o Taliban took control of the country. The suspect received asylum from the U.S. government in April, according to three people with knowledge of the case who were not authorized to speak publicly.

β€œBiden Asylum Cases” is NYT’s framing for a story pegged to a man who got asylum 3 months into the Trump administration

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: As a military officer, I was repeatedly trained on the law concerning illegal orders. 

Now, veterans citing this law have been targeted by the president with threats of prosecution and death - because they oppose him politically.

If the government acts against them, it will further display President Trump's thirst for the one thing our Republic cannot abide: tyranny.

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his β€œtop priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧡

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

We are dealing with a crime ring here called: DOJ.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies β€” and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.

This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

Trump defends Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing The de facto Saudi ruler was branded a pariah in 2018 after the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Now, U.S.-Saudi relations are approaching a high point.

You can oversee the bloody dismemberment of a Washington Post journalist with a bone saw, and the president of the United States will smile, shake your hand and threaten to pull the license of a news outlet whose reporter asks you a question about it.

It is annoying to me how people leap on a sentence pulled out of (in this case) an hour-plus conversation and immediately slot the speaker into a pre-existing category of Enemy. Here is the entire talk.
