Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

For a man who genuinely understands (or at least has understood) how to work a camera and the importance of media presence, this is a distinctly shocking set of images.

Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to feed their families, and struggle with cuts to the safety net made to finance tax cuts for the super-rich.
American capitalism is off the rails.

I’m really struck by how Bernie, AOC, and Mamdani are just such better communicators and so much more on message than other Dems. This—and humor—is the way.
Mamdani is asked about Trump’s comment last night that he’s better looking than him: “My focus is on the cost of living crisis.”

Your now-mandatory reminder that Republicans in Congress are just fine with this
Breaking news: The DOJ placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they filed a document in court that referred to the Jan. 6. attack on the U.S. Capitol as a “riot” carried out by a “mob,” two people familiar with the matter said.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Donald Trump is a traitor to everything the United States stands for. He is this country’s enemy. And he should be treated as such.
