Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Under threats from Trump’s FCC chairman Brendan Carr, Jimmy Kimmel had to put his interview with James Tallarico on YouTube. Yet Trump is free to use taxpayer money to run political ads on Fox.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

The threat of contempt worked. It’s over. Missouri republicans can’t use their stupid map for the midterms. The old map is still gerrymandered to hell, but we can correct that by adding seats to SCOTUS in 2029 and banning gerrymandering (among other things, of course)
