Congratulations to all the bankers, hedge-fund managers, private-equity honchos, tech titans, corporate executives and op-ed writers for backing the man who will do more to undermine the system that made them insanely wealthy than any other presidential candidate in their lifetimes.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank had been served grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department threatening a criminal indictment, a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s attacks on the Fed.

Sounds good to me.
Trump: "You gotta win the midterms. Because if we don't win the midterms, they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached."

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

McGovern: "To say Democrats are the ones who want to enrich insurance companies is absurd. Republicans support big banks, big tech, billionaires, tax breaks for huge greedy corporations. And they accuse Dems of being in the pocket of the insurance industry? Give me a break. Nobody believes this BS."

Trump says Venezuela has stolen our “oil, land, and assets.” Might we ask what? Did they take part of Florida? Huh? Ffs.

Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing
Especially any veterans?

These machines save lives, including my husband's. Basic science is a necessity.
Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Given this and Trump's past comments about groceries (he calls the term "old-fashioned"), there is a legitimate, I'm-just-asking-this-as-a-factual-inquiry-purely-based-on-the-president's-own-rhetoric question to be asked:
Does President of the United States know what getting groceries, like…is?

Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
