The hidden force:

🚨 This is a real crisis: More than 3,400 DOJ attorneys—roughly a quarter of the workforce—are gone. Prosecutors are now warning they’re stretched “dangerously thin,” risking missed deadlines and giving leverage to criminals. You don’t rebuild something like that overnight. This is long-term damage happening right now in the Trump administration.

Axios reporter and CNN analyst Barak Ravid on CNN today discussing the latest in Iran War. It appears a Trump bobblehead or figurine is on a shelf behind him.

Trump’s escalation just backfired. Iran has now struck a major UAE oil port—Fujairah—setting it on fire, along with hitting multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz. This comes after Trump claimed the U.S. would escort ships through the Strait. Now? No ships are moving. A critical oil hub is burning. And we are waiting to see if full hostilities resume.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she reported the threats to her family to a number of people in the Trump Administration: I did hear from Kash Patel. He said, ‘on it,’ but I haven’t heard from him since. I don’t know what he’s on *laughter from crowd*

Not a great sign that President Trump’s judicial nominees seem incapable of stating that President Trump is ineligible to run for a third term.

In Uno that means you are losing.

These are the leaders of the tournament including the #1 player in the world on the green playing in the final round on Sunday at Trump’s golf course in Miami. I’ve seen bigger crowds at college tournaments and this is a PGA Tour signature event.

@meiselasb Been glued to your podcasts on @YouTube over the last year from UK, Vietnam, Thailand and Japan where I live currently. Thank you for exposing the rotten corrupt @realDonaldTrump @POTUS govt. Bring on deposition! Perfect Sun morning viewing in bed on projector.

Former Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan on his campaign for governor of Georgia: To win the governorship, you’ve got to win more than the base. I’m courting this crowd of Democrats, independents, and yes, even disgusted Republicans to show up and vote for me and other Democrats up and down the ticket to really change the trajectory of Georgia. I’m willing to build a coalition big enough to pass common-sense gun legislation that 90% of Georgians want to see passed, expand Medicaid, and even repeal the heartbeat bill, which has put millions of women in a terrible position with regard to their own health.

My thoughts are that this prediction is not looking great.

I would have thought with the $18 trillion Trump claims he brought in and the golden age of America he claims exists that a company like Spirit Airlines would be thriving but I guess it’sBiden’s fault like always…

I can tell you as someone who lives in Dallas, Texas, something different is happening here on the ground. I'm seeing @jamestalarico signs in neighborhoods where you don't usually see people putting out signs supporting Democrats. #TXSEN @TeamTalaricoHQ @TheWeekendMSNOW

🚨 EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: Vivek Ramaswamy has been sharply critical of Amy Acton’s COVID response. But Ramaswamy himself suggested a national registry to segregate the population based on vaccine status. "Could we tolerate a national system in which certain people on the basis of a biomarker are segregated to say, you can't go back to normal life?...I personally think that it is better."

I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna be nicer about this. Neocon boomers are mortgaging my generations future by amassing trillions in debt, turning America into a pariah on the global stage, and getting our troops killed for another failing war. I have to watch these neocons lie about the state of this war on TV every single day. Then, the moment I push back and assertively ask, “hey, what’s the actual goal here?” I have a legion of neocon boomers telling me I should know my place. Or I should wait my turn to talk with the grown ups. Fuck that, genuinely. I’m not claiming to have all of the answers or be all knowing. But young people deserve a seat at the table to fight for our interests as well. 95% of media is made up of boomers in suits who created these problems, and being nicer isn’t going to fix them.

This photo was taken moments before I told @adammocklerr to get his hand out of my face.

Trump’s FCC chair now seems to be giving MAGA the green light to physically assault people on cable tv when they are losing arguments

I don't think non-lawyers can truly grasp what it means for the DOJ to be doing this.
