Kash Patel is disputing the Atlantic’s claims that he spends $1500 a week at bars. The real number, he says, is much larger.

Ossoff: "When you throw people off their health insurance and drive up their premiums and gut the Medicaid program in order to cut taxes for the wealthiest people in the country, that's also corruption. That's the corruption that's endemic in our political system and predates Trump."

Right now, in the middle of Trump's war with Iran, Senate Republicans are keeping us here all night to vote on the most pressing issue they can think of:

The Disappearance of the Public Bench Benches are microcosms of an expansive debate about who belongs in urban public spaces. When they are removed or made uninviting, we lose more than just a place to rest.

"Benches aren’t just disappearing from large railroad stations, but also from subways, parks, plazas, sidewalks, and esplanades."

Trump’s Fed Chair Nominee Fails the Big Test The senators grilling Kevin Warsh didn’t cover themselves in glory either.

Trump's nominee for Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, had his confirmation hearing yesterday. He needed to answer 2 questions:

Former US Secretary of State John Kerry on Colbert: “Netanyahu presented the Iran War case to us too. The response was no. The prediction was regime change, that people would rise up. None of that happened.

“Obama said no. Bush said no. Biden said no. We were lied to about what that war was about.”

A new investigation from ProPublica and @frontlinepbs.bsky.social examines federal agents’ response to protesters and bystanders at the Trump administration’s immigration sweeps.

“We see, just, use of excessive force after use of excess force,” one expert said.

Dotard def didn’t recall all these details so, hi, Miller. A war crimes tribunal awaits you.

All precincts have reported and "Yes" has narrowly won!

Give me a fucking break. Dark thoughts? Relationship stress? This was a domestic violence mass murder. He was a family annihilator.

Started it—for the last sixteen years!!! Including state legislatures as well as congressional districts.

You can have no rage, Republicans, when you lit the fuse.

You just got outplayed

The execs forcing this at McClatchy can go straight to hell.

GOP can eat it after 16 years of aggressive Tea to Post-Tea Party rigging.

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."

He would’ve won the war he draft dodged. Despicable.

FACT: He’s way smarter.

Rafael fears his inevitable fate.

You mean the man who single-handedly ended the American century and endangered everyone on Earth?
