Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

Kushner claims there’s a peace deal if only Ukr withdrew from Donbas. Thats not true. Ru wants Ukr withdrawal as the condition to begin peace talks not to end the war. Ru has not agreed to a single thing Ukr wants: NATO membership, peacekeeping troops, reparations, return of kidnapped children, etc.

Trump promised $5,000 stimulus checks from DOGE cuts. You got 0. Trump promised $2,000 stimulus checks from tariffs. You got 0. Trump promised $1,000 checks from Obamacare cuts. You got 0. Trump promised $1.98 gas. You got $4+. Trump now has more promises for you.

Here’s an observation. For the last few years a lot of people would come tell me thanks, and say they were Democrats. I’m now getting a lot of people saying “I’m a Republican but…. Thanks.” Something is changing

One other thing: The three major pillars of Trumpism/MAGA/right wing populism are tariffs, cruelty toward immigrants, and America First/destruction of international alliances. All three have proven utterly catastrophic and have been roundly rejected by the public. This is the story of the moment.

US defense policy has reached a special stage where it has two main tenets. The first is to make it clear to allies that it either can’t or won’t help defend them. The second is to threaten said allies if they therefore do the logical thing and stop buying US weapons. Genius.

As hurricane season opens and a bad El Niño starts, CNN reviewed all the things Trump and Noem and Lewandowski have done in the last year to degrade FEMA's ability to respond to crises. It'll be crucial to hold Trump accountable for the things Noem did. edition.cnn.com/2026/05/31/p...

The FEMA Review Council, a task force Trump created at the start of the administration to help reshape the agency, released its final recommendations this month after a five-month delay. It calls for sweeping changes to speed disaster aid and push more responsibility to states, but stops well short of earlier ideas to cut the workforce in half, rename the agency or dismantle it altogether.

Still, sources say FEMA is limping into hurricane season underprepared and faces a daunting road ahead. It’s already been an active tornado season. Widespread drought has fueled major wildfires this year. A powerful El Niño could lead to an increased risk of floods. The war in Iran has added domestic security demands, as will the World Cup and America250 celebrations.

For some, the past year at FEMA stands as a vivid example of what happens when a presidential talking point collides with the machinery of government: a rushed attempt to tear down a disaster agency that instead left it weakened, isolated and exposed.

“It could take a decade to fix what they broke,” a high-ranking FEMA official said. “And if we have a major disaster this year, we’re screwed.”
