He sits up there and says we’ve won the war. Inflation’s no big deal. Affordability isn’t a thing. Data centers are great. The U.S. is the “hottest” country. As the American people cry out for help, he’s obsessed with building monuments to himself. trib.al/tIEAdor

This is blatant racism. Hard to take seriously Republicans denouncing stuff like this at the Maury GOP meeting when so many of them are now opening saying it.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The Trump administration cancelled major energy projects across 16 states just because they voted for Kamala Harris and not Trump. Their own lawyers even admitted they targeted blue states. I called Trump’s Energy Secretary out on it. Our states pay taxes & I won’t stand for this kind of garbage.

FRANKLIN, TN — Pastor Kevin Riggs: “I used to be in the inner circle of the evangelical church in Franklin… the only thing worse than authoritarianism/dictatorship is theocracy. We must push back against Christian Nationalism, rebuild and defend the wall separating church & state.”

Screenshot of an X post by Eric Boehm reading, “Spoiler alert: He stopped,” quote-tweeting Republicans Against Trump, which shares a 2016 clip of Marco Rubio saying he would never stop trying to prevent a “con man” from taking over the Republican Party and conservative movement. The embedded image shows Rubio speaking at a campaign event holding a microphone.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West."

Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about.

In fact I know you do."

Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."
