Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "They're trying to condition some of these generals to the idea that they should be using the U.S. military to enforce the political agenda of this president. It's not going to work."

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Don’t you dare even think about selling us out. Wimps. You are so far out of touch with the party. Yes, you have free healthcare for life but we don’t!!

Because he knows both shooters were very likely “his guys”.

Thankfully he hired an excellent law firm who will hopefully cut through the BS and misinformation to learn the truth. There’s something very, very fishy with this situation and scrutiny is growing on what role our governor played in this. I don’t trust ICE to tell the truth.

Media and Dems are still getting this badly wrong: Trump is deeply unpopular! Recent approval numbers:

38-54 (Quinnipiac)
39-60 (AP)
40-56 (Gallup)
41-58 (Reuters)
39-56 (Economist)

On the pod, @lakshya.splitticket.org explains these numbers brilliantly. Listen:

Trump Is a Weak, Failing President. These Brutal New Polls Confirm It.

As new national polls show Trump’s approval tanking, a leading analyst explains how the data shows that Trump is far more unpopular than is commonly acknowledged—and details why this matters for 2026.

There are a few good reasons to think Republicans are too confident about how the politics of a shutdown fight will turn out. And at the top of the list is a truly preposterous argument.

The latest edition of The Breakdown from @citizencohn.bsky.social:

How to Debunk Republicans’ Shutdown Talking Points

Their main argument is about health care, and it shows how desperate they are to dodge blame when prices spike for millions of Americans.

The Bryson DeChambeau effect. The pumped up turd earned all of 1.5 points over 3 days. How macho.

And Bryson DeChambeau who cared more about performative “macho” theatrics than focusing on putting the small white ball into the hole. And he only earned 1.5 points.

Berman: Was the President right about the polling?

Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.
