VAN HOLLEN: When you were in the House, you said Biden needed to make clear that 'Putin is an absolute war criminal.' Do you stand by that?

WALTZ: Statements I made in Congress are very different than what I make now working for President Trump. I support President Trump is everything he is doing

Republicans voters realizing too late that destroying the institutions of democracy actually hurts them too and now they can’t blame anyone but the Republicans in the Congress.

You'd think @nytimes.com would have mentioned Anthropic hired a lobbyist close to Trump last week in this article on it landing a White House meeting 🎁🔗

Are there going to be any investigations of what seems to be insider trading? This is the latest case which seems suspicious.

Trump Plans Oil Lease Sale in Alaska’s Arctic Wildlife Refuge The Trump administration plans to offer at least 400,000 acres in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil and gas drilling rights in June, marking its first such sale in the rugged area prize...

Starting in June, you too can defile the earth. Wasn't enough to kill the Boundary Waters, Hood River National Forest, & Chaco Canyon to fill rich folks coffers. 🖕🖕🖕

The Real Reason Why Trump Is Selling the U.S. Boundary Waters to a Chilean Billionaire? The president is liquidating America’s public lands like they belong to his family. Increasingly, they do.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

The conservative justices on the Supreme Court believe that a Democratic president acting in the public interest is unconstitutional, but a Republican president acting in his own personal interest is a-okay.

In Sept 2025, Makary, RFK Jr., and Oz stood before the world and proclaimed that leucovorin was a useful treatment for up to half of autism cases, with no credible data supporting this.

Last month, the FDA refused to approve leucovorin for autism.

These people lie with abandon.

Kevin Warsh wants to lead America’s central bank.

Why does he have more than $100 million in undisclosed assets?

Today in Baltimore, We Proved This Fight Is Working DHS went to court to defend their ICE warehouse plan and walked away with a judge openly laughing at their argument.

Three examples that show the lack of integrity at HHS under RFK Jr:

1. Claimed that 10 kids died because of the COVID19 vaccine, never produced data.

2. Believe that glyphosate causes cancer, say nothing when Trump orders more.

3. Say that leucovorin treats autism, no FDA approval for this.

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

Some insane deal with get OK'd and the Supreme Court will say no-one can sue because they lack the standing to protest a politician ransacking their tax dollars for personal benefit. And Trump will keep using the claim of fraud to deny safety net benefits to Americans.

Jamal is too nice to say "utter hypocrisy," but that's what this is.

Today's #SCOTUS treats *all* coercive relief against the executive branch as imposing irreparable harm on the government. For that proposition, they cite a 2014 opinion by ... Chief Justice Roberts.

Its absence here is deafening.

Roberts said that Obama's Clean Power Plan would be "the most expensive regulation every imposed on the power sector." (Again, putting aside that whether it's expensive just isn't his fucking business, has nothing to do with the law.) And so he killed it -- put a stay on it until Trump was elected.

This bit right here. This is John Roberts basically admitting, explicitly, that he is dreaming up a legal doctrine out of nothing because he does not like or approve of Obama's policy:

All right, this piece has triggered me so I have to yell a bit (though this is bluesky, so I realize I'm just preaching at the choir):

I am so beyond tired of journalists sanewashing this callous, bloodthirsty, arrogant, immoral ignoramus

The fact that the maga appeals court ordered a judge to end a contempt investigation into the Trump administration is the very definition of CORRUPTION.
We must clean house & the only way to get there is to fire the entire GOP.
