Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.
A graphic with a red background showing images of JD Vance, Donald Trump, Mike Johnson and Pam Bondi. Text in the graphic reads: 2025 GOP Year In Review –1.17 million layoffs this year –43 days shutting the government down –$1,200 in tariff costs per household –50 days refusing to swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva –2 Signal chats leaked –79+ days Trump spent golfing –300+ days spent trying to bury the Epstein files –Voted for the biggest cut to health care in American history
The GOP has done absolutely nothing but screw over the American worker while they’ve controlled both chambers of Congress and the White House.
That is, unless your name is Donald Trump.
Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?
Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. If they wanted to lower your health care costs, they would.
The truth is: Republicans do not care one bit if your health care premiums explode.
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
Day 11 of the Republican Shutdown.
Donald Trump is back on the golf course.
House Republicans have cancelled votes for a third straight week.
And Democrats are continuing the fight to protect your healthcare.
Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.
They make sure we have clean water.
They protect us from financial fraud.
They provide healthcare to our communities.
They make our government actually work for people.
Do not forget this.
Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.
Why the delay?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
It’s hard to overstate how big a deal this is - for the economy (ours and globally), for the rule of law, and for the proper and efficient function of government.

Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.
You could be on Medicaid right now, and not even know it — that's because it's called something different in every state.
So when House Republicans talk Medicaid cuts, they could be going after YOUR care.
Call your representative today.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
Day 68 into the GOP takeover:
Prices are going up.
Consumer confidence is plummeting.
Classified info is being leaked.
Social Security is being dismantled.
Residents are being arrested for their political views.
The officials who shared classified information in a group chat broke protocol and put our servicemembers' lives in danger.
Hegseth and Waltz should RESIGN—and EVERYONE involved must be held accountable.
I'm demanding a thorough investigation from the Inspectors General.
If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.
This arrest is the latest in an alarming pattern to stifle civil liberties.
The Trump admin is targeting students with legal status and ripping people out of their communities without due process.
This is an attack on our Constitution and basic freedoms — and we will push back.
⏰ it has only been 10 years, @marshablackburn.bsky.social will probably get around to it eventually
"Republicans are so in bed with the rich establishment they promised to stand up against that they want to fire the judge standing between a corrupt billionaire and our Social Security data." New via @andrewbatesnc.bsky.social.
UConn is back to the Sweet 16 🔥
Paige Bueckers ties her career-best with 34 points in her last game at Harry A. Gampel Pavilion.
Grocery prices are soaring.
Housing costs are skyrocketing.
Retirement savings are plummeting.
But Donald Trump thought today would be a good day to play car salesman.
About half of all births are covered by Medicaid.
Over a third of all children are covered by Medicaid.
More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid.
Republicans in Congress are making a big mistake targeting these families’ health care to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
Great night! Thank you! 💜
