Let's be very clear. Amy Acton's birth mother hasn't been in her life for 48 years. So when the birth mother calls Amy a liar, she's calling the 12 year-old child who was raped by her stepfather a liar. Ramaswami has reached a new disgusting low, even for Republicans.

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.

This is one of the finest, most powerful television ads I've every seen. Do American a favor and share this everywhere. Heart, not policy papers. Love, not hate. Hope, not fear. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

A free press doesn’t exist to make a president look good. It exists to inform the American people and hold those in power accountable. The government doesn’t get to decide which voices are heard or silence those it doesn’t like. That’s not how America works.

And so here we are. This statement from Trump blows my mind. That a sitting president would not let any renovations to a public building go on unless he gets to first put his name in the said building… What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. Actually, how small minded, how narcissistic. Actually great men, devoted to public service and the public good do not act like this. It seems that this man will not rest until his name is permanently connected to the name of a great president, whose memory this building was dedicated to. Imagine spending your time and your days focused on this, as everyday Americans struggle with healthcare, gas prices, rent, and food. Imagine spending your days focused on this, while a war rages under your leadership. Enough said. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump votes by mail. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

This man gets it. Vote Talarico.

Since Greg Abbott has been in office, property taxes have gone up 75%. While I lowered taxes for Texans on the school board, Abbott’s recapture payments became a de facto state property tax we're paying. The only person gaslighting Texans is Greg Abbott.

THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections. What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."

The reflecting pool is the best entertainment this week!

BREAKING: Republican Senator Bill Cassidy just torched Donald Trump saying his Iran War was one of the worst foreign policy blunders in decades. Wow.

The leaked Iran deal that is floating around suggests that this is a pretty simple transaction: we are paying Iran billions to reopen the Strait. Period. Stop. That's probably why they are refusing to release it.

🚨Ken Paxton was reported to the FBI for accepting hundreds of thousands in bribes. His own staffers were the ones who reported him.

Michelle Obama on the covers of Vogue. She was everything a First Lady should be. I stand with Michelle Obama! Who is with me? ✋

RETWEET if you stand with Michelle Obama!

Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”

Kennedy Center Update: Trump has left his tarp up. Looks like he is still sulking over his name being removed.

She would not have bombed Iran. She would not have illegally attacked Venezuela. She would not have destroyed the economy. She would not have pardoned criminals, drug traffickers, and traitors. She would not have supported Putin's Russia. She would not have slept in the Oval Office. She would not have an affected hand. She would not have cut the SNAP program. She would not have used the DOJ to attack her political enemies. She would not have given money to foreign countries. She would not have abandoned American farmers. She would not have prevented the release of the Epstein files. She would not have destroyed American democracy. She would not have trampled on the Constitution. She would not have abandoned the fundamental rights of citizens. She would not have deployed American soldiers against the American people. She would not have destroyed the White House. She would not have enriched her family through government influence. She would not have lied about her health records. She would not have played golf. She wouldn't have asked people to cheat in future elections. She wouldn't have said "Quiet piggy" to a female journalist. She wouldn't have invited Putin to Alaska. She wouldn't have appointed an administration of incompetents. She wouldn't have done everything Trump did.

During Greg Abbott's speech to the GOP convention, he made no mention of rising health care costs, utility rates, or the fact that the American Dream is out of reach for too many Texans after 12 years of his failed leadership. The speech was just like Abbott: hypocritical, boring, and stuck in the past – 2026 will be his last year in office.
