In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.
Time to rename the #BBB I heard someone on the @thebulwark.com with @timmiller.bsky.social call it the "the Big Ugly," but if we call it the Big Ugly Rich Person Payday Bill we could also call it the #BURPP. It's gross, awkwardly inappropriate, and nobody really likes it. #BigBeautifulBURPP
It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

@60minutes.bsky.social finds no evidence of criminal records in US or any other country for 75% of Venezuelans kidnapped and rendered to El Salvador. Of the rest, 22% had non-violent arrests for things like traffic violations.

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.
If anyone is still on Twitter, its time to dump this broken coms tool. It’s even more slanted than “Truth Social” at this point:
Amen, Bernie, amen.
SCOOP: Before the IRS fired nearly 7,000 probationary employees, a senior lawyer raised the alarm that:
- the terminations contained "false" information
- they amounted to a "fraud" on the US judicial system

Something to think about
Follow the money and see where it goes. Nothing like buying our Congress. Musk has made the maximum allowable donation to members of Congress who support impeaching federal judges who are impeding actions taken by Trump.
Tom Homan: such a tough guy he only goes on Faux News to rant and rave knowing he’ll have a soft interview that doesn’t hit him in the facts or the feels.
FYI - DOGE is using private information to go directly into the accounts of social security beneficiaries to take funds. They marked an 82-year old man as deceased and took his payments. He is not dead. Check on your grandparents. Check the Seattle Times for the info.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.
Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."
I'm leading the charge demanding USDA reverse its cancellation of $1 billion in food purchases for local schools, food banks, & child care centers.
As people struggle with rising grocery prices, these purchases help them keep food on the table – & support the California farmers who feed our nation.
When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.
Please, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and @blumenthal.senate.gov stay strong and sway the centrists. No on Cloture. No CR. Yes on guardrails for Musk, as a MINIMUM.
Replace Chuck Schumer. Dems need real leadership. #NOonCloture #resist
A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.
Do not let anyone play games with you.
Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid
No on cloture @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and @blumenthal.senate.gov stand strong against TrumpJohnson & Prez Musk. This CT resident is proud to see resistance standing up.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 30, the number is 100%.
AP jaw-dropper: “In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan” apnews.com/article/dei-...
Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.
Thou shalt not claim to be improving efficiency when all you do is fire people and then beg them to come back.
