Vance: I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media...You should be thanking the president...
Zelenskyy: Have you ever been to Ukraine?...
Vance: I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour...

This will be remembered among the most disgraceful and dangerous foreign policy moments in American history. Vance and Trump are no less than traitors, successfully undermining every American value in less than 4 minutes.

The Right-Wing Supreme Court Is Enabling Its Future King

Lieu: I also note the Epstein files that have already been released show that Trump is all over the files. He’s in multiple pictures with Epstein. There’s multiple videos of Trump with Epstein. There are plane logs of Trump on Epstein’s plane.

MAGA has retreated so far into their echo chambers that the only time they brush against reality—or real people—are in spaces they don’t control, like Bluesky.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

I’m shocked having someone write your essay doesn’t make you smarter
New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.
Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

First SCOTUS opinion today. Over nuclear waste storage. It's 6-3 with Gorsuch, Thomas, Alito dissenting. Thankfully the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is still allowed to exist.
Basically it's Common Sense 1 -- James Ho 0.

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.
