Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

Are you rethinking the US relationship with NATO, possibly getting out?

Trump: "It's certainly something that we should think about. I don't need Congress for that decision".

Under 1250A of 2024 NDAA, the US president cannot “suspend, terminate, denounce, or withdraw” from NATO without Congress.

DOJ reportedly lowers standards for federal prosecutors, adding to an unfortunate pattern The entirety of the Trump presidency has been a grand experiment in what happens when an administration embraces amateurism and de-professionalization.

The DOJ lowered its standards for prosecutors, which followed the FBI lowering its standards for agents, which followed ICE lowering its standards.

Trumpism is a grand experiment in what happens when an administration embraces amateurism and de-professionalization.

Maddow: How is Jared Kushner's role in the U.S. attacking Iran not more of a show-stopping scandal?

Hegseth is achieving levels of dipshittery in these press conferences that makes it more and more difficult for Colin Jost to parody. At some point SNL will just play Hegseth.

This morning's perfect proof that Hegseth is a buffoon: 'The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. “The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping,” he said. “It is open for transit should Iran not do that.”'

oh this is why Hegseth was so big mad at CNN this morning

"Trump’s national security team failed to fully account for the potential consequences of what some officials have described as a worst-case scenario now facing the administration, the sources said."

The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It. The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principl...

🧵 The Civilian Protection Center of Excellence, was formed by Biden's defense secretary Lloyd Austin, intended to minimize risk to civilians during war.

Hegseth scrapped the office to favor lethality.

It could have prevented the tragic death of nearly 200 Iranian children.

Idiot James Comer Admits on FOX Cover Up by Trump's DOJ of Epstein's Ranch in 2019. Yes, Republican Congressman James Comer of KY is a rampaging idiot. But it takes a mix of supreme arrogance and stupidity to go on TV and admit that Trump’s DOJ asked New Mexico authorities to stop in...

Did you know trump had the DOJ shut down the search of Epstein's New Mexico ranch during his first term in office? James Comer told the story on Fox tv.

Yet again @sarahkendzior.blsky.social lays it all for us. “The same families appear, again and again, in a transnational crime network that profits off war. …the Iran War can only remind one of Epstein and Maxwell, for many of the same people tied to them are also tied to this war.”

The NYT found that doctors hired by Epstein, for himself, the girls & women he associated with, bent or broke ethical rules. Epstein rewarded some of these medical professionals with substantial fees, gifts, & donations.
Complicity = guilt. Consequences 4 all!

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

Epstein Latest: A newly surfaced document reveals an inmate told the FBI he overheard guards talking about covering up Epstein's death the morning he died.

Miami Herald Investigative Reporter, Julie K. Brown, describes what the inmate claims he heard.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Distressing content warning:

A bodycam video seems to contradict the claims made by ICE regarding the fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez.

Homeland Security and ICE kept the murder of 23-year-old American citizen Ruben Ray Martinez on March 2025 a complete secret.

These are not things that happen at camps which are not designed to kill the people they incarcerate. ICE centers are concentration camps.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Trump is adding anti-trans provisions to SAVE America Act Trump appears to be using culture-war issues, which are popular among Republican voters, to increase the pressure on Republican lawmakers to back the bill.

🚨BREAKING: The White House confirmed Friday that President Donald Trump is pressing Congress to add new provisions targeting transgender people to the SAVE America Act — a sweeping anti-voting bill that could disenfranchise millions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE taking steps to close detention center at Fort Bliss, document shows Preparations to shutter Camp East Montana in El Paso come less than eight months after facility’s opening, according to an internal ICE document.

This ICE detention center is the largest in the country and has become notorious for rampant physical abuse, medical neglect, and death.

We won't let up the pressure until it's shut down for good.
