The Briefing with Jen Psaki @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social · 6h

"It is a creepy obsession." Rep. Ilhan Omar responds to Trump's personal attacks. "It's actually very frightening to have that level of attention from somebody who should be focused on doing the business of the American people and not just creepily watching what one member of Congress is doing."

So… a ‘narco-state’ leader gets 45 years, then walks free?

E. Rosalie @erosalie.infoepi.com · 1d

Former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, was sentenced to 45 years in prison after being convicted in a U.S. court of running a “narco-state” that helped send South American cocaine to the United States.

He is now free thanks to a pardon. Cocaine deaths have risen significantly.

Line chart showing U.S. age-adjusted stimulant overdose death rates (2003–2023): cocaine (blue) rising since 2013, psychostimulants (green) surging sharply after 2017.

NGL, the whole 'DC belongs to everyone' argument reeks of hypocrisy.

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.

NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 14d

Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

I mean, rolling back tariffs makes sense for consumer prices but.

NO KINGS IN AMERICA… 😎 @jerasikehorn.bsky.social · 17d

So, let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?

Did I get that right?!

incredibly, bleakly funny that trump is going after christopher wray, who spent his entire tenure at the fbi with his head down desperately trying to avoid trump's attention and did nothing to protect the bureau from trump's attacks www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Other prosecutors are investigating former CIA director John Brennan, another prominent Trump critic, and former FBI director Christopher Wray, who was originally appointed by Trump but enraged conservatives who came to believe he had wielded the bureau’s powers against them. Former officials have received subpoenas in recent days in the Wray inquiry, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

Fox News declares that rioters took on federal agents at an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, a narrative that is instantly debunked by their own live footage of law enforcement standing around doing nothing.
