Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

I don't know how many times we will be told by the legacy media that Trump is moderating or backing off only to then see he is worse than ever. He is an authoritarian. He enjoys the cruelty. And the first thing he had Pam Bondi do after the shooting was to try to leverage it to get the voter files.

THIS. Strike while they're vulnerable.
The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.

We got no investigation whatsoever for Renee Good. Todd Blanche said he watched the video and there was no need. Now we will get a rigged investigation on Pretti with DHS investigating itself to determine if DHS did anything wrong, and zero oversight from the Republican Congress.

This week, Trump will bomb someone, impose a ridiculous tariff, make some crazy announcements - do anything he can to divert attention away from this outrage. He wants the public to move on and forget this as so many have done with his past crimes and transgressions. Don’t let him.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

Last year, Trump ripped away $500 MILLION from Howard Hanson Dam—critical for flood control, our water supply, & habitat restoration. Pure corruption.
Well, I just passed the funding to get construction back on track.

Senator Chris Van Hollen is also a No on the DHS funding deal, his spox confirms to me.
My statement on funding DHS:
The proposed Appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security released today puts no meaningful constraints on the growing lawlessness of ICE, and increases funding for detention over the last Appropriations bill passed in 2024.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?
