NEW: The DOJ announced it will send election monitors to California and New Jersey polling sites for the upcoming November elections. Democrats and advocates warn the move may be a step toward the Trump administration seizing control of voting.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

So Stephen Miller - NOT SCOTUS - is now handing out Federal Immunity cards?

"bUT OBAMA DID WHITE HOuSe rEnOVATIons too!" Yes, there was a $376 million White House renovation during the Obama Administration. And you know what? He went through the National Capital Planning Commission as the law requires. It was overseen by the U.S. General Services Administration, rather than directly by Obama. Plans were submitted, reviewed, revised. Open bids were made and considered. If you can't see the difference between that and whatever is happening right now, you're beyond help.

How Kash Patel Was Duped Trump’s lickspittle FBI director fell for obviously fake Russian documents. So much for Wizard Kashs’s “smoking gun.”

It turns out Wizard Kash’s “smoking gun” is not only ridiculously fake (as Durham concluded), it actually blows a massive hole in the Trump/Patel “Russia hoax” theory.

Guv Bill Lee and the right wing state legislature are doing a helluva job!

🚩 The same “Appeal to Heaven” flag carried by January 6th rioters now flies over a federal building: the Small Business Administration, led by Trump’s pick Kelly Loeffler.

Christian nationalism is not subtle anymore. This is not normal.

Bad reaction from too much lip filler?

Rand Paul: "I've never liked the idea of the parade. I grew up in the '70s and '80s, and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades for the most part or North Korean parades. The parades I remember from our history were different...we never glorified weapons so much...then there is the cost"

1/3 ICYMI: The House passed a $9.4 BILLION “DOGE” rescission package that guts funding for global HIV/AIDS relief (PEPFAR) & public broadcasting. It’s a death sentence for millions around the world and at home.

Now, it is heading to the Senate where it only needs a simple majority to pass.

Nailed it. 🎯

Emanuel: You have the 250th anniversary of the US Army. Rather than making it about everyone who makes up that 250-year family of service—to the country, to the Constitution, and to the ideals of the United States—Trump has decided to make it about the most important person in his view: Donald Trump

RFK Jr. sent Congress 'medical disinformation' to defend COVID vaccine schedule change A document circulated to members of Congress misinterprets studies and cites debunked research, scientists say. It could influence congressional perceptions of vaccine safety.

Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.

Sen. Patty Murray on the Padilla incident:

"I have been here for more than 32 years. I have come to this floor often to speak out, to be angry, to be a voice for my people. I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes … We are a democracy, but we can lose that democracy."

ROME (AP) — Spyware from a U.S.-backed Israeli company was used to target the phones of at least three prominent journalists in Europe, two of whom are editors at an investigative news site in Italy, according to digital researchers at Citizen Lab, citing new forensic evidence of the attacks.

- He identified himself as a Senator
- Right before this happened Noem literally said she was there to liberate Los Angeles from its elected leadership

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”
