On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

Any Republican who opposed Trump’s stolen election claims but supports him now is craven. I’m looking at you, Lindsey Graham.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

To be fair, he really looks like Joseph Goebbels. But you’re right about the rest of it.

Jack Smith told House committee he had β€˜proof beyond reasonable doubt’ in cases against Trump Ex-special counsel testified in front of judiciary committee about aborted federal prosecution of Donald Trump Jack Smith, the former justice department special counsel who led the aborted federal prosecution of Donald Trump, told a congressional committee that he never spoke to Joe Biden about his cases, according to the transcript of a deposition released on Wednesday. In his behind-closed-doors testimony to the House judiciary committee earlier this month, Smith defended the charges he brought against Trump for allegedly possessing classified documents and attempting to overturn the 2020 election, while warning of the consequences of allowing election meddling to go unpunished.

Inside the New Fast Track to a Presidential Pardon Even some of the president’s closest advisers have been surprised by a number of the recent series of pardons.

Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals β€œsay their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

Can you imagine relying on that clown car of incompetents to scrub thousands of documents? No wonder Trump’s in a tizzy.

ProPublica’s @andykroll.bsky.social spent months chronicling Russ Vought’s rise from the Senate mailroom to one of the most influential players in the current Trump administration, where he has tried to fulfill his desire to put federal workers β€œin trauma.”

As the FBI’s deputy director, Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief.

His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau background check is unprecedented, insiders say.

While it’s nice Trump can respond to voters’ needs, he doesn’t deserve credit for unfucking something he fucked up in the first place.

I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis.

And make health insurance affordable.

The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.

I'm voting no.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Democrats need to focus on the economic concerns of the middle and working classes. Pound away at that.
