In a fiery moment on the House floor, Rep. Tom Suozzi just tore into the GOP’s reconciliation package—exposing contradiction after contradiction. If you watch one clip today, make it this. 🎯🔥

BREAKING: AOC sends a message to Tom Homan at her town hall in Jackson Heights:

“Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections. To that I say: Come for me. Do I look like I care?”

A @reuters.com investigation identified 11 judges whose families faced threats after they ruled against President Trump. Many have come after billionaire Elon Musk attacked them on his social media platform.

Fox News' Jesse Watters met with "the DOGE boys" for their "nightly meeting," including... Big Balls. The meeting was led by Elon Musk, who the DOJ has insisted in court does not lead DOGE.

I did not see Amy Gleason at the meeting. cc: @annabower.bsky.social

This is the story of a pathological liar who was immunized by the Supreme Court, is drunk on power and thinks a journalist should not confront his obvious lies. It’s all there in a two-minute exchange about an obviously fabricated photo.

Trump's Rising Hostility to Reality
In an Oval Office interview with Terry Moran of ABC News, Trump clearly expected this journalist—and every viewer—to swallow his lies. This is intolerable.

At a time when we are all hurting,

the GOP budget cuts everything that helps us and supports our infrastructure m, to pay for MORE tax cuts for the wealthy.

That’s the bad news.

They are simultaneously making it impossible for us to vote them out.

That’s the catastrophic news.

Huge! The first ruling ordering ICE to release a green card holder put in immigration court because Marco Rubio declared his advocacy a "threat to foreign policy."

The President is attacking me because I filed Articles of Impeachment, asking “What the hell did I do?”

It's all in my seven articles of impeachment:
1. Defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling.
2. Dismantling federal agencies.

It’s important to understand that this is the Trump administration’s plan.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Judge Hannah Dugan, two-year-old V.L.M.

They are not outliers, exceptions, or aberrations.

This is their plan.

The horrors are not aberrations. This is the Trump administration's plan.
This is their plan. But the plan is just that — a plan. It can and must be stopped.

URGENT: This is not a crime

A judge has the authority in her courthouse to excuse a defendant for God's sake

Trump tried this in 1st term & he was thrown out of court 👉 www.courtlistener.com/docket/14997...

PS the violation here was Patel's tweet & that's why he deleted. I'll be filing complaint

Trump is "soft-launching" his third term.

Forget that he's trampling the Constitution.

Once his MAGA defenders start wearing these hats around, it begins the process of normalizing the idea.

That's the goal. That's the tactic.

It's authoritarian marketing.

This is just a stellar paragraph, and captures the baseline problem I’ve long hard with conservative arguments against affirmative action as well as anything I’ve read in a long time.
