@pxwhittle Sooo very grateful to Wellfleet Shellfish Company and Woods Hole Science Aquarium — a star in itself in all of New England — for keeping this amazingly beautiful creature alive and safe. 👏👏👏 I only wish all “regular” lobsters would be safe from being eaten, too. 😞

@AGPamBondi Justice will see you impeached and prosecuted, Ms Bondi 😡

MINNESOTA ARRESTS — I am on the ground in Minneapolis today. Federal agents have arrested 16 Minnesota rioters for allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement — people who have been resisting and impeding our federal law enforcement agents.
We expect more arrests to come.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: NOTHING will stop President Trump and this Department of Justice from enforcing the law.

@ZelenskyyUa It’s so disheartening to learn that Trump called Putin today and they spoke for one hour — just ahead of Zelensky meeting with Trump.
Not to add fuel to the fire but this looks like Trump going behind Zelensky back and taking orders from Putin on how to conduct the meeting 😠

Ukraine did not start this war. Russia started it. Ukraine supported President Trump’s proposal for a ceasefire. Ukraine has agreed to many different compromises, and this is documented in our draft agreements, in our 20-point plan. Ukraine is willing to do whatever it takes to stop this war.
For us, priority number one – or the only priority – is ending the war. For us, the priority is peace. We need to be strong at the negotiating table. To be strong, we need the support of the world: Europe and the United States. And this includes air defenses – which are currently insufficient, weaponry – which is currently insufficient, and money – thankfully, there is now a European decision, but, frankly, there is a constant shortage of funds, in particular for the production of weapons and, most importantly, drones.
In this war of Russia against Ukraine, we want peace, and Russia demonstrates a desire to continue the war. If the whole world – Europe and America – is on our side, together we will stop Putin. Because together we will all want the same thing: an end to the war, peace – a normal peace, a sustainable peace, safe for the whole world. If anyone – whether the U.S. or Europe – is on Russia’s side, this means the war will continue. There are no other options here. And this is a risk for all countries in the world. Because Russia will not stop, regardless of any agreements, any eloquent messages from them. They will not stop at Ukraine.

@bennyjohnson This is so ridiculous.
Most people are suffering economically in the US *right now*, and these ludicrous men in positions of power above us all are joking about shoes sizes. And Trump buying several pairs from a catalog, easy peasy — talk about tone deaf re: Affordability 😠
English

Vice President JD Vance just dropped a hilarious Oval Office story leaving the entire room cracking up.
President Trump glanced over the Resolute Desk at VP Vance and Secretary Marco Rubio and said, “You guys have shitty shoes.”
Right then and there, Trump pulled out a shoe catalog and gifted them 4 pairs of shoes. 🤣
Wait until the end of the story…
“Today I'm in the Oval Office with the President and Marco Rubio, and we're talking about something really important. The President kind of holds up his hand and says, ‘no, no, no, hold on a second. There's something much more important. Shoes.’”
“He peers over the resolute desk and he says, Marco, JD, you guys have shitty shoes.”
“He goes out and grabs a catalog. There happens to be another politician in the room I won't say who, and you'll find out why in a second. And he actually runs us through this incredible shoe catalog. The President is gifting us with four pairs of shoes.”
“He says, Marco, what's your shoe size? And Marco's apparently an eleven and a half. He says, JD, what's your shoe size? My shoe size is 13. I asked this politician, who I won't embarrass, what his shoe size is, and he says, seven. The President leans back in his chair and says, you know you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size.”

Oh, buckle all the way up, because the corruption has stopped pretending to wear a disguise — it’s showing up naked, bed-head, unshowered, walking through the Pentagon lobby in fuzzy slippers asking where to collect its $620 million check.
The President of the United States — a man who literally went on national television and said, “Nobody knows what magnets are” — somehow fathered a son who knows EXACTLY what magnets are:
they’re a $620,000,000 government-funded money hose if your last name is Trump.
That’s right. While Daddy Don is on Fox News sounding like a confused substitute science teacher reading from an ICP lyric sheet, Don Jr. is quietly backing a startup that magically receives the LARGEST LOAN the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital has EVER approved — three months after his venture fund buys in.
Imagine that.
Imagine putting your money into a barely-known startup in August…
And by November, Daddy’s administration hits the “Make It Rain” button at the Department of Defense.
How convenient.
How patriotic.
How strategic.
Vulcan Elements, the little rare-earth magnet company Trump Jr. just so happened to invest in through 1789 Capital, is suddenly the belle of the Pentagon ball — awarded $620 million PLUS a $50 million equity stake from the U.S. government.
Yes, equity.
Yes, the U.S. government is now a shareholder in a Trump Jr.–backed firm.
The loan isn’t just big — it is the BIGGEST in OSC history, dwarfing every other national-security investment like they’re contestants on a rigged game show.
And don’t forget the punchline:
This is not even the FIRST Trump Jr. portfolio company to get showered in government gold.
Reuters already documented that four 1789-backed firms have raked in $735 million in contracts, regulatory breaks, federal perks, and sweetheart deals since Trump slithered back into office.
This is not a coincidence.
This is a pattern.
This is a business model.
And ethics experts — the people whose literal job is to measure corruption — are screaming into microphones that presidents are supposed to avoid even the appearance of self-enrichment.
But the Trumps said:
“To hell with appearance — let’s do corruption in broad daylight, in Ultra-HD, with the brightness turned all the way up.”
➡️ There is a legitimate national-security need for rare-earth magnets.
China dominates the supply chain.
America needs domestic capacity.
That’s all true.
But funny how of ALL the companies contributing to America’s defense readiness, the one that gets the most historic loan package…
the one that triggers a $50M federal equity purchase…
the one that strikes gold in the first round of Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”…
just so happens to be the one in Don Jr.’s personal investment portfolio.
Pure coincidence.
Just like how every road in Mar-a-Lago leads to a gold toilet.
Let me emphasize the deranged part:
Donald Trump — a president legally exempt from conflict-of-interest statutes — is presiding over an administration that shovels unprecedented sums to firms benefitting his own son…
while his son sits in the “patriotic capitalism” venture fund that markets itself as the financial arm of MAGA power.
And yet the MAGA crowd will tell you this is all fine — nothing to see here — it’s just “strategic” investment in American production.
Yes, very strategic.
Like how it was very strategic for Jared to get $2 billion from the Saudis.
Like how it was very strategic for Ivanka to receive Chinese patents while Daddy was negotiating with Beijing.
At this point, the only “strategy” is:
If your last name is Trump, every federal agency becomes your personal ATM.
And the rest of us?
We’re expected to clap, salute, and pretend magnets are mystical forces beyond human understanding.
But here’s the truth:
Magnets DO have mysterious powers.
They are MAGNETICALLY attracted to the pockets of the Trump family.
And apparently, nothing in this administration pulls harder than a taxpayer dollar.

Within hours of Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump went live from behind the Resolute Desk and falsely blamed it on a conspiracy of the “radical left.”
Within hours of the Reichstag Fire, Hitler blamed it on a communist conspiracy—and created a dictatorship.

@jamestalarico James Talarico’s themes and speaking style remind me so much of Barack Obama, when he was the brightest shooting star in the political skies in the early 2Ks.
May TX meet this moment and embrace a better future, led by people like James Talarico.

@InsidePolitics @mkraju @SenFettermanPA I’m so disappointed in Senator Fetterman’s turncoating, and the only explanation I can come up with is that his support of blatant autocrat Trump is due to Trump’s coziness to Bibi, thus a direct link to Fetterman’s well know Zionist bent.
English

NEW: "This is not an autocrat. This is a product of a democratic election." @SenFettermanPA told @mkraju in an exclusive, one-on-one interview that his party needs to tone down its attacks on President Trump. #InsidePolitics
