Border czar Tom Homan has said repeatedly that he recused himself from all contracting matters.

But ProPublica reported he has been involved in conversations with industry players about government contracts.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Only in Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon does this apparently need to be said:

We should not be firing live artillery over our freeways.

I know Donald Trump is a pathological liar, malignant narcissistic sociopath, racist, antisemite, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, hater of our troops and believer in euthanizing folks with disabilities, but we too often forget that he's *also* an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.

The book industry is feeling this along w/ the loss of NEA grants for some publishers, tariffs on books printed off-shore, firing of Library of Congress librarian Carla Hayden.

Please visit your local book store and buy a book from an indie press this weekend!

📚📚📚
A new report from the Joint Economic Committee found that small businesses have lost over 366,000 jobs since the President took office.

We need to reverse the tariff taxes and fight for policies that lift small businesses up, not leave them behind.

We should be protecting, not targeting, journalists.

I led all Judiciary Committee Democrats to push back against the Justice Department’s decision to roll back protections for journalists, who must be able to do their jobs without fear of harassment or intimidation.

Democrats are fighting to feed America’s hungry kids.

Trump and Republicans are demonizing them.

Confused as to why this administration hates education. Businesses need a LITERATE workforce.
The Trump administration is now proposing to completely eliminate Head Start.

That would be a Hard NO.

Trump and Republicans want to give more than $4 trillion in tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy and they’re planning to pay for it by gutting nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.

You don’t have to know everything. You’re not going to know everything, but you don’t have to seek out everything. There’s enough bad happening in the world that you will lose yourself if you try to know all of it.

As Ezra Klein once said, the Trump agenda is defined as malevolence tempered by incompetence. Trump’s tariff whiplash is hurtling our economy towards a recession, which will only make life harder and more expensive for Californians.

Humming works best for me - but whatever tool reduces stress - use as needed.
Emotional regulation tools include humming, singing, tapping the top of your head or chest, deep breathing, stretching, verbal processing, meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy, and remembering your enemies will all die one day.

Yet here we are.

I wish @mcuban.bsky.social would have put money in the game.
Mark Cuban on CNBC: "Donald Trump is trying to come in with the hammer and say, 'I'm gonna hit you with a 200% tariff, John Deere.' Kamala Harris is saying, 'I'm going to give you incentives to manufacture more.' Which do you think is gonna work better with companies?"
