Some thoughts on how Trump's push to put his face on a $250 bill isn't just illegal—it's another loyalty test. Like many autocratic leaders, Trump is demanding public displays of personal devotion, which will become more frequent as his popularity declines.

@TimothyDSnyder @SecWar Why help Putin? Corruption.

If we give the Ukrainians Patriots and sanction Russian energy the war is over. In other words, US policy at present is to keep the war going. theguardian.com/world/2026/may…

This is exactly the kind of policy decision I’ve come to expect from this administration. We never needed to build a parallel system overseas when the U.S. has already invested billions in biocontainment units. Instead, millions of taxpayer dollars are now being spent on a facility that was unnecessary from the start—resources that could have been directed toward strengthening the Ebola response on the ground. Why aren’t more taxpayers asking hard questions about this?

Ken Paxton is throwing everything he has at us. He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan! I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.

By packing 100+ unrepresented immigrants into a single courtroom, often without proper legal notice, @TheJusticeDept’s new “mega master” immigration hearings are a calculated trap to manufacture assembly-line deportations and target vulnerable immigrants. This is a deliberate strategy to overwhelm families, undermine due process, and inflate deportation numbers. We desperately need an independent immigration court that is no longer at the mercy of this lawless administration.

When I was at Delaney Hall this week, I heard firsthand about the cruel and inhumane reality inside. One detainee showed me horrific infected blisters on his back from scalding shower water. Another is forced to perform 40 haircuts a day, earning a measly $4 for hours of labor. These reports today of chemical gas, threats, and violent retaliation against detainees on a hunger and labor strike are deeply troubling. @ICEgov and GEO Group cannot be allowed to hide behind a wall of secrecy and abuse, and they must end this unlawful inhumane treatment immediately.  And that's not all: Many of the detainees I met with were pursuing lawful pathways, pay taxes, and are illegally being detained by @DHSGov. These detainees must be released immediately. I will keep returning for oversight visits until they are, and my office will continue to demand full transparency and absolute accountability.

Probably the worst attempt at gaslighting I have ever seen. Scott Bessent: "With the Iranian government, we did not have regime change, but we changed the regime."

The United Nations General Assembly should vote on removing the Russians from the Security Council. Russia is a pariah state and should be treated that way.

Hard to believe this AG wasn’t getting daily updates on a matter this important to her political future at the time.

To remind, Hormuz was open before Trump launched his war against Iran. Reopening the strait is not a war victory.

@AaronParnas @MeidasTouch @PamBondi @DAGToddBlanche cannot ignore the truth.

SCOOP: Several Epstein survivors launch survivorsisters.org during Pam Bondi's testimony on Capitol Hill. The website outlines the Epstein timeline, starting in 1996, and shares the voices of dozens of survivors.

BREAKING: @DDFund_ filed a formal comment opposing Trump's DOL rule that would let retirement managers put your 401(k) into crypto The problem? the president has nearly $2B tied to the digital asset industry Deregulation for him & risk for the people

New reporting reveals Republican Gov. Brian Kemp pushed $27M in school security contracts to a company run by his best friend Daniel Dooley. Dooley then gave $100,000 of the taxpayer money to Kemp's PAC, which has poured money into GOP Senate candidate Derek Dooley's campaign.

@margbrennan @CBSNews @ZelenskyyUa @FaceTheNation @SecWar @SpeakerJohnson @marcorubio Ukraine is our ally, not Putin.

EXCLUSIVE: President @ZelenskyyUa tells us that Ukraine sees Russia preparing for a "big massive attack" using drones, cruise & ballistic missiles to take place today or tomorrow at night. He warns Ukraine has a big deficit of anti-ballistic missiles. 🇺🇦 @facethenation

Trump is destroying America’s long legacy of defending religious freedom at home and abroad.  Click the link in my bio to read my oped in @RNS about why it matters—and what Congress can do to reverse course before it’s too late.
