Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.

It’s looking more and more like a dictatorship. That’s no way to treat a U.S. Senator. Claiming he was an attacker and failed to identify himself is delusional he’s a sitting senator. America is watching, and the tides are turning.

Ed Martin is expanding his operation, and it’s as dangerous as it sounds. The US Department of Justice’s pardon attorney, Ed Martin Jr, is now laying the groundwork to pardon even more of Trump’s allies, this time focusing on the Republican fake electors who tried to help overturn the 2020 election.

A judge blocked Musk staffers from accessing Social Security data, but of course, they’ve ignored those orders. We warned this was happening: Musk operatives have been marking individuals in the Social Security system as dead in an effort to pressure immigrants to self-deport.

I am autistic. I have been in a loving and mutually supportive relationship for 23 years. Not only do I have a full time job, I am a scriptwriter and producer and successfully freelanced as a social media marketer and publicist.

This man is vile and a danger to the public good.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optionalβ€”like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

Trump is tanking the economyβ€”and Americans are taking note.

– 60% disapprove of Trump’s handling of inflation
– 75% say Trump’s tariffs will raise prices in the near term
– Only 21% say his economic policies are helping.

A stunning bipartisan rejection.

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitorsβ€”an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.

When I got a PhD in nineteenth-century political history, I really, truly never imagined I would have to find a way to explain to readers what an eggplant emoji means. (Wired reported more Signalgate Venmo accounts.) I yearn for the day when I can write about good, clean fun like tax policy again.

This is illegal: Musk announced in an overnight post on X that he’ll hand out million-dollar checks at a Sunday night event in Wisconsinβ€”but only to those who voted in the state’s Supreme Court election.

Why is Elon so invested in this race? Tesla is facing legal challenges in Wisconsin.

A sad day for Americaβ€”Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist, has been arrested by ICE, not for any crime, but for his political activism. The Trump administration claims he was involved in β€œpro-terrorist” activities, yet no formal charges have been filed.
