This is how he started with the whole “if I lose the election is fraudulent” shtick. If we don’t listen to this, shame on us. That man isn’t building a ballroom for the next guy.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a false claim in his testimony to the House on Wednesday. Then he repeated it in his testimony to the Senate on Thursday. Hegseth said Wednesday: “In 2024, troops were depl… – that was Joe Biden by the way, Joe Biden –  were deployed to polling locations in 15 states." He continued, "2024 – Joe Biden – troops deployed to polling locations in 15 states. Explain that one to me.” Here’s the explanation: Hegseth’s claim isn't true. Not only were all National Guard activations for the 2024 election done by individual states rather than Biden, all 11 states that responded to my inquiries said *no troops* there were sent to polling places. Rather, they said, Guard personnel were in other locations helping with election cybersecurity, doing other behind-the-scenes support work, or not actually activated for the election after all.

Is this America First? Trump has just pardoned Joseph Schwartz, who stole $38 billion dollars from the paychecks of his employees at his nursing home empire. Money which was intended to go to their healthcare and retirement benefits. He only served 3 months of his sentence.

President Trump continues his years-long pattern of denying he said things he said *on camera,* sometimes just days prior – this time claiming Saturday he hadn’t said something about Iran he said in a public speech Friday night: cnn.com/2026/05/03/pol…

This is why lifetime positions in the Supreme Court must be abolished. All it took to take America back to the days of Jim Crow was six woefully out of touch conservative Supreme Court justices to gut The Civil Rights Act. Women have lost autonomy over their bodies and Black people have lost their representation in congress.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Gavin Newsom: The day after he talked about a beach photo and an indictment of his enemies. He talked about his Kremlin ballroom. He's not doing anything to try to unite this country The biggest reflection of this moment is the sewer that we're living in because of Donald Trump. The deviation of normalcy is off the chart. This is a guy cosplaying as the Pope, as Jesus, putting his face on Mount Rushmore. None of this is normal

🚨BREAKING: Newly obtained documents show a clear paper trail of Trump administration officials planning to share sensitive voter data with an outside political group trying to overturn elections, as part of a secret agreement. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/ex…

278yrs from now, the only question future beings will have is - “How? How did ANYONE back then put such a fucking idiot in power? How?”

Are you experiencing high gas prices and grocery prices? Are you having trouble paying your bills? If so, the President just made fun of you and thinks your concerns about affordability are “bullshit.” November is coming.

@Acyn Exhibit A right here, folks 🤪

Trump says anyone running for president should take a cognitive exam because you could end being stuck with a moron for years. “I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in and all of a sudden you're stuck with a man who's a moron”

At a speech in the Villages President Donald Trump said he secured 400, 500, 600% drug price reductions, but it could be less depending on how you phrase it. There is only one way to calculate a percentage decrease. For anything higher than a 100% decrease, the seller would be paying the customer to take the product. buff.ly/KYXetkE

This exchange between @SenBlumenthal and Trump’s judicial nominees is utterly astounding. If you can watch this and still think this country isn’t falling into authoritarianism and fascism under Donald Trump, then you are not being honest with yourself.

Louisiana’s GOP governor just declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY to CANCEL an election. Not for a storm — but to redraw maps so he can ERASE a historically Black district. They’re not even hiding it. MAGA is rigging elections to silence YOU.

Trump has no plan in Iran. Hegseth doesn’t even know the cost. The American people are paying for their incompetence — every day at the pump.

A must-read (as is everything that @DanRather writes)! Thank you for your wisdom and for speaking truth to power. You are a national treasure. Read the Room, Donald, by @DanRather open.substack.com/pub/steady/p/r…

@nycjim @MollyJongFast @newrepublic “The edits CBS made here are severe, and depict a man who is much more petulant and incoherent than the broadcast would suggest.”

In the 60 Minutes interview, CBS edited out some of Donald Trump's off-the-rails rants. According to @newrepublic, "he rambled about his ballroom, how hot his Secret Service agents are, and how the No Kings protests are just like the Ku Klux Klan." newrepublic.com/post/209590/tr…

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just revealed that Pete Hegseth ordered military members to an area in Kuwait with an ACTIVE WARNING they had ZERO defense against drone attacks and he IGNORED IT. Six were then KILLED. Survivors blame Hegseth. This is even WORSE than Benghazi.

Rep. McBride on the Republican push to use taxpayer money to build Trump’s ballroom: My constituents can’t afford fucking groceries or utility bills, and he now wants to spend taxpayer money on a ballroom? They shouldn’t use a potential tragedy to try to secure funding from taxpayers for the president to have Great Gatsby parties in the White House.
