"Victories remind elites Trump is not some sort of eternal expression of the American volk. The press will have to at least briefly acknowledge MAGA fascism is not inevitable. Institutions that have been acting as if Trump is a rightful king will be confronted with a sweeping rejection of him."

Virginia and New Jersey can show that Trump isn't inevitable

MAGA might be in for an ass-whuppin' on Tuesday.

Wouldn’t these have been interesting to see…?

Special counsel's office obtained 32 direct messages from Trump's Twitter account

The direct messages represent a “minuscule proportion” of the total data provided by the company, prosecutors said in a newly unsealed court filing.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

“60 Minutes paid me a lot of money”

In an edited-out part of the Trump interview Trump brags about extorting CBS for millions for… editing out a part of Kamala’s interview.

(He also makes it clear new CBS chief Bari Weiss is in his pocket) #RIPCBS

Prop. 50 is one of the most important votes on the ballot in November, with Democrats’ hopes of retaking the House in 2026 hinging on its approval.

Its supporters hope its passage will inspire other Democratic-led states to make similar moves.

The state can strike the first blow against the president’s plan to subvert democracy.

He sued CBS for editing Kamala Harris interview. CBS succumbed to his legal threats, paid him millions of dollars to settle out of court.

The president ranted that SNAP beneficiaries were “all Democrats". Did anyone remind Squeaky Johnson of that? 🤨

So CBS settled Trump’s lawsuit where he frivolously sued because they edited Kamala Harris’s interview so it would fit into their air time.

Then CBS does a 73 minute interview of Trump where they made big edits from the version that was broadcast.

They aired 28 of 73 minutes.

Rupar, if you happen to know any of the reporters in that room - send them this question. It has to be asked, and demand an answer.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

In a Sunday interview, Trump shared that he thinks he’s “better looking” than Zohran Mamdani.

He also insisted that the frontrunner in New York City’s Tuesday mayoral election is a “communist.”

Trump brags he could invade your city whenever he wants

In a wide-ranging "60 Minutes" sit-down, the president also said immigration raids "haven't gone far enough."

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

Zohran, Tish James and Brad Lander lead a procession of hundreds walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at dawn.

Tish James, Brad Lander, Tony Simone and Rita Joseph wait for the march on the bridge.

Any reporter - ask this question : “Why do you hold these pressers if you don’t know anything and only blame Democrats?"

Q: “President Trump, admitted to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?"

Mike Johnson: “I don't know anything about that. I didn't see the interview. You'd have to ask the president about that.”
