We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Alex Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed.

This article will give me nightmares about what Trump can do to the 2026 elections. Everyone should read it. I am eagerly awaiting French’s next column where he will offer suggestions on next steps.
"A president who doesn’t care about the law, who commands an obedient Congress and is supported by a radicalized base of tens of millions of people who believe his lies, represents a threat to the next election. I fear that millions of citizens are still too complacent."

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

We all need to start thinking about the best ways to keep the 2026 election free and fair
Just wrote an upbeat (!) Morning Shots.
I mean, if not today, when?
We should relish this moment. For a few hours. Because we should realize that these results are going to make the Trump administration even more aggressive about tilting the 2026 playing field, and we need to be ready for that.

FUN FACT: Saturday’s peaceful protests were 14 times bigger than both of Trump's inaugurations combined. #NoKings
Trump: "Even that garbage deal they had this wknd, which was embarrassing to them. And the crowds were not big at all. But when you look at signs and they're all made professionally in a printing shop, some guy is paying for all that stuff ... they're going crazy because they're getting paid"

Trump is demanding his own administration give him $230 million.
He's cutting himself a taxpayer-funded check, and paying for it by cutting your healthcare and food assistance.
This is what corruption under authoritarianism looks like.
