If I were a Democrat trying to make some headway in Utah, I might point out that Trump put someone in a key decision-making role who blithely dismissed the safety of 3.5 million Utah residents, and joked about how no one lives there.

The GOP’s priorities are insanely off. Sen. Kim is right: Spread the word. Then let's kick these feckless cowards out of office.
Screenshot of a tweet by Sen. Andy Kim (@AndyKimNJ) posted at 4am reporting that Republicans passed a vote allocating $70 billion to fund ICE without reforms or accountability, while rejecting Democratic proposals to lower healthcare costs, housing prices, and gas prices. The embedded image shows a wide overhead shot of the Senate floor with members milling about.

Creepy scumbag JD Vance continues to threaten Pope Leo by saying he should be careful when opining on theology. The Pope’s duty includes opining on theology and unlike JD, Pope Leo is highly qualified for his elected position. JD can STFU.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections:

Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again."

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m
Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired."

•..
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m
He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged.

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m
Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions."

...
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m
Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately.
"The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."

In some of his strongest criticism of Donald Trump yet, Keir Starmer explicitly blamed the US president for pushing up the cost of living in the UK. The PM compared Trump to Vladimir Putin, telling ITV News he is "fed up" with both of them.

Unless I missed it, the one thing Melania didn't do is say definitively that her husband didn't do anything wrong relating to Epstein. Like it was fully a defense of her and her alone.
