LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America
SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours
A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...
Settee down everyone, it's not that funny
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Sarah Longwell: We are committing superpower suicide in real time. Trump is making China Great Again. Poll: People in *every single one* of the top US-allied countries now believe it’s better to depend on China than on the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

This is what a rigged system looks like.
Sean Hannity, the Fred Flintstone of shameless propaganda, has declared he will no longer be a Catholic because he worships Donald Trump—and the money it brings in—more.
Sean had to declare publicly that he will no longer be following his faith—because how else would anyone be able to tell?
Repost from Mayra
There were more protesters outside the Turning Point rally in Athens GA than event attendees.
Neguse: "Despite all of that, Speaker Johnson made the decision to gavel the House & send everyone home. Now we're back 2 weeks later & what has the majority decided is the most pressing issue to debate? Apparently it's a resolution commemorating a bill that the GOP passed last year. It's absurd."
WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public'
IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated
W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?
Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich
Well, today we're taxing the rich...
These f🙃ckers have no shame
Credit where credit is due. Congress is “doing something.”
Always follow the money.

Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin:
"This president is out of control, and Americans are paying the price...This week, we will force the Senate to debate and vote on a war powers resolution, and until this president is reined in, we will continue to force these votes."
Thank you!

I’ll never get tired of watching people in Budapest celebrating getting rid of Viktor Orbán.

BUTTIGIEG: The strait was open before they started this
KERNEN: They were close to having 11 nuclear weapons!
BUTTIGIEG: We had other ways of dealing with them
KERNEN: Like what? Obama's way?
BUTTIGIEG: That worked
KERNEN: That didn't work!
BUTTIGIEG: Did they get a nuclear weapon under Obama?
