Republicans only worked 72 DAYS in 2026 & they haven’t done a damn thing. Nothing to rein in costs. Nothing to overturn Trump’s tariffs. Nothing to stop his war of choice. What they’ve been doing already is running the laziest & least effective Congress in history.

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

Incredible. The 11th Circuit, in a 3-0 opinion (two Obama appointees and one Trump 1.0 appointee), agrees that Trump and his lawyers have failed to rebut the judge's finding that the entire IRS settlement was collusive, highlighting that no other explanation for their conduct was even offered.
IV
The appellants mount two main attacks on the district
court’s speech-related sanction. First, they argue that the court
lacked a sufficient basis to find that the lawsuit and the settlement
were collusive and that Messrs. Brito and Epstein acted in bad faith.
Second, they contend that the sanction is a broad and impermissible gag order which constitutes a prior restraint and violates the
First Amendment. We conclude that the appellants have not made
a strong showing that they will succeed on either of these grounds.The appellants did not submit or offer any evidence to explain their litigation conduct or demonstrate that the lawsuit and the settlement were not collusive. Given the record before us, the
appellants have not made a strong showing that the district court
committed clear error in its collusion and bad faith findings

Season 1 of Dark Matter was good, Season 2 even better. And Episode 5 (Love and Be Loved) was maybe the best hour of television I've seen all year. A beautiful one-off, poignant, unsettling, and if I'm not misreading the last five minutes, hauntingly ironic.

5/ In 2025 the administration tried to fire 90% of CFPB staff, about 1,500 people. A federal judge blocked it. The bureau is now run by Project 2025's Russell Vought, the White House budget chief who spent months trying to choke off its funding entirely before taking control of it himself.

1/ A Colorado woman's credit score dropped 85 points over a $240K debt that wasn't even hers. She proved it. The credit bureaus still wouldn't fix it. Why? Because the federal watchdog that used to force them to is being quietly dismantled from the inside #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Why is Trump planning to shutter the Kennedy Center? Because they told him to take his name off the building, and a malignant narcissist can’t accept rejection. He can’t accept defeat. He can’t accept not getting his way. It’s the same reason he will never concede losing in 2020…

A judge blocked another effort to add Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center. In response, the president lashed out at a congresswoman during a board meeting—then gave the center an ultimatum, @janaykingsberry.bsky.social reports:

The Kennedy Center Is Trump’s Hostage
The president berated a congresswoman during a board meeting, then posted that he would abandon the Kennedy Center if his name isn’t added to it.
