I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops.

I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops.

I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

ANCHORAGE…

Republicans are DEFUNDING mass transit in the fifth largest state in the country.

Thanks for nothing PA Republicans 😒

On this day let’s remember Kamala’s predictions and contrast that with what happened today in Alaska 🤨

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.

[writing the constitution]

Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president"

Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that

Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

That wasn’t a summit. That was a debacle.

Lmfao

that summit could've been an email

“Putin would eat you for lunch.”

Today, exactly that happened.

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

Kristi Noem is living free of charge in Coast Guard commandant’s home A DHS spokesman said Noem must live on the military base because she had been “so horribly doxxed and targeted that she is no longer able to safely live in her own apartment.”

She gets this on top of Secret Service protection. Is she saying they arent up to the job? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How much does @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social *think* someone should pay to rent a 1-bedroom in Astoria?? Mamdani is paying $2300/month, a whopping $180 less than the neighborhood average (see here: www.apartments.com/rent-market-...). Total bad-faith nonsense from this corporate Cuomo stooge.

Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."

Trump is reportedly creating a loyalty scorecard that rates how hard corporations work to support his agenda. 

His regime is apparently planning to consult the ratings when considering corporate requests. 

This is how things work in a dictatorship.

When you’re having trouble with your DUI field test…

They aren't lying about the new hatRED hats. Shamefully true AF

I remember when this happened.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.

He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.

We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Motherfucking wind farms…

Reminder that as a corporate lobbyist, Pam Bondi represented scores of clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny — including Amazon, Uber, and GM.

She also represented the government of Qatar and ICE contractor GEO Group.

"Conflicts of interest" is an understatement.

The man's arrest is the latest case of federal authorities detaining immigrants with legal status during immigration check-ins. Lawmakers call the detainment of those who helped U.S. troops at war a betrayal. [via @wbur.org]

Side by side on the NYT home page, we have a Bret Stephens column lauding Trump's "courageous" decision to strike Iran as though it were the product of some serious strategic calculus, and a news article explaining he did it because Israel's bombing campaign was "playing well" on his teevee.
