This is so well done.
NEW: Trump named Springfield, Ohio, his first target for mass deportations. He claimed Haitian immigrants were eating pets. We went to Springfield to hear the real story from people who live there. Turns out the city's decline isn't new—and its causes aren't what you were told.

President Donald Trump has cast another mail ballot in Florida as he continues to publicly bash the voting method as a source of fraud and push Congress to curtail the practice. apnews.com/article/donald-tr…

Did he say what I think he said? Wow 🤯
Hassett: If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the U.S. economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, but that's really the last of our concerns right now.

I know a lot of people think about 3 ÷ 1/2 as "how many 1/2 fit into 3?" but there is another model! Here are two ways we can think about division.

"Constitution guarantees us the individual’s right to keep and bear arms. That’s why I strongly support Second Amendment ... It's there for resistance of oppression. It even was described as a civic duty to act in concert in the defense of the State" - Rep. Kristi Noem 4-25-2013

Children die in school shootings and it’s “not the guns”. Mass shootings claim lives multiple times a year and it’s “not the guns”. Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people during a protest and it’s “not the guns” ICE kills Alex Pretti, and suddenly it’s his fault because he “had a gun”

Starmer and King Charles III can always show this picture, then ask Trump where his sons were. How far behind the front lines were Eric and Junior?

As Mayor of the safest big city in the nation, I want to share a perspective on ICE use of force and the tragic death of Renée Good. Policing urban areas is a special skill that requires a significant level of training and the ongoing work of building community trust. Absent that trust and training, tragedies are inevitable. Our @SanJosePD is the best police force in the country. So I can tell you that safety doesn’t happen by accident — it’s built. Law enforcement officers can’t play the role of judge, jury and executioner in our country. If and when ICE is in our cities, they need more than a badge, a gun — they need the specialized training that is the hallmark of every excellent urban police force.  Renée Good should have woken up this morning with her family. Instead our entire nation is waking up to grapple with her death. At this profoundly sad moment we need to ask our leaders to go beyond partisan politics. Our mission should be to learn from this tragedy so we can prevent another one.

If you beat up and injure a cop at the Capitol the Trump admin will pardon you. If you drive away from an ICE agent they will kill you.

Trump’s billionaire allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185 local tv stations and news in 100 markets. They control the AI you're asking for answers, the algorithms feeding you content, your personal data you've given up for access, and the devices you rely on. The news and your privacy are now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is. This is all by design.

BREAKING: BREAKING: 2016 video of Pete Hegseth exposes staggering hypocrisy: He said the military must refuse unlawful orders, the very stance he is now punishing Sen. Kelly for taking. Make sure everyone sees this.
