After ICE killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti, the Trump administration tried to tell us we didn’t see what we saw with our own eyes. Shane Snow’s essay breaks down how governments manipulate media to rewrite reality—and how to spot it before it can take root.

Rep. Beatty to Bessent after he refuses to answer a question about affordable housing: "No no. We're not gonna to do that with me. You get to hear my wrath that you refuse to answer a question under your authority, and yet you've talked about the value of housing and you're not releasing the funds."

Jeffries: "Johnson and Thune aren't working for the American people. They work for Trump. So many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle function like a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump cartel ... Johnson called the 4th Amendment an inconvenience. It's not."

Trump made it clear he wants to call off the midterms.

He wished he had seized ballot boxes after he lost the 2020 presidential election, and turned the DOJ into an extension of his political will.

We need to realize it's up to us to defend free and fair elections, @marcelias.bsky.social writes.
Trump wants to take over voting. Mike Johnson is willing to help
Trump raised the threat to the 2026 midterm elections to an entirely new level.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

Republicans are in here cosplaying as protectors of women and children, but they were silent when Renee Good was killed, willingly voted to cut SNAP, and are now sitting by as ICE rips children away from their families.

Miss me with the selective outrage.

I didn't think, given the last three years, that Elon Musk could damage his reputation any more than he already has, but the past 48 hours have proven me wrong

So I'll just say to Elon what a man he clearly admired once said to him:

"CONGRAGULATIONS"

This is necessary pressure to end ICE funding and force real policy change. This time we can’t let Congress repeat the healthcare rollback playbook and quietly cave.

Trump isn't just suing the IRS. He's waging a war on it.

His regime has...

-Shut down the IRS's Direct File program, a huge gift to the tax prep industry

-Gutted IRS staff, leaving fewer employees to assist taxpayers

-Deprioritized federal tax prosecutions, letting tax cheats off the hook

The Supreme Court appears poised to gut the Voting Rights Act in a case that could end protections against minority vote dilution throughout the nation. This isn’t just about how congressional district lines get drawn, it's about undermining democracy.
