This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

I'm sorry I know there's a lot going on but how are we not screaming about Ron DeSantis stealing $10 million from Medicaid and the money ending up with pro-DeSantis superPACs, funneled through a charity run by his wife?

The $10M steered to Hope Florida by the state was Medicaid money, document shows
A draft agreement of a $67 million settlement between the DeSantis administration and a Medicaid contractor that had overbilled the state sheds new light on how $10 million of that amount was diverted...

Mike Johnson changed the House rules so that a vote for Congress to reclaim authority to do tariffs will never be scheduled, by declaring the rest of this Congressional term one single calendar day. www.wakeuptopolitics.com/p/house-quie.... He could fix all of this before the US markets open.

Red Alert - Musk has access to voter info.
Why isn’t this a banner headline on every news outlet?? ‼️🔥🤬
No joke. On Tuesday, Trump issued an extraordinary Executive Order that would give “the DOGE Administrator,” that is, Elon Musk, access to the voter files of every state for the purpose of purging millions of Americans from voter rolls as suspected “non-citizens.” open.substack.com/pub/gregpala...

Another way of saying this is that Trump’s claims are so extreme that even judges appointed by Republicans agree
As we show in a forthcoming JOP paper, this is an important signal to higher courts about the undelying merits of the claims

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

If nothing else, and way too late, people who believed that government does nothing of value are now getting some remedial civic education.
Do you use a credit card? Rent or own a home? Use utilities like water and electricity? Send your kids to school? Have a job? Eat? Drink? Deposit money in a bank, or withdraw it? The government provides services and safeguards that enable us to do ALL of this safely. Now Musk is taking it all away.

A deadly mystery disease in Congo has killed 50+ people—half within 48 hours.
Serious question: If a deadly virus hits our shores, how will we even know other than word-of-mouth? Trump pulled us from WHO, is gutting the CDC & put an antivaxxer who thinks WiFi causes “leaky brain” in charge of HHS.
