- The mere notion that the President would cravenly accept a $400 million attempt to win favor from a foreign power is beyond the pale and reeks of corruption. I’m joining Senator Schatz to reaffirm what our Constitution makes clear – no President should receive gifts from a foreign power.

- Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.
- With mandatory spending like say, Medicaid, congress doesn’t appropriate it. It’s automatic. But the CUT it they have to change the law, and that’s what they want to do. The truth about spending youtu.be/EHPk1c-LhqA

- Pete Buttigieg packed a town hall in Cedar Rapids, Iowa! Love to see him working with VoteVets!
- Gov. JB Pritzker has not yet announced whether he will seek a third term as Illinois governor next year, while also not shooting down the idea that he’ll run for president in 2028. www.wbez.org/politics/202...
- ever think about how maybe we're actually all dead and this is hell and that's why we're doomed to keep having Pete Rose discourse forever?
- I was offline today. Have any new presidential bribes come in?
- We’ve got “ongoing diplomatic negotiations” with whom exactly?! I’m sure those “negotiations” do NOT include getting Kilmar Abrego Garcia back on US soil…
- UPDATE: The administration filed its Abrego Garcia privilege log under seal, saying public filing could endanger “ongoing diplomatic negotiations.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
- RFK Jr is right. Donald Trump can’t be bought. Not by China. Not by the UK. Not by Canada or Mexico. Oops, my bad. I meant American goods. American goods can’t be bought by China, UK, Mexico and Canada. Because of Trump.
- BREAKING: The Eleventh Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, holds that Florida’s anti-drag law is likely unconstitutional and upholds the injunction barring enforcement of the ban. media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...
- this is insane. kfor.com/news/local/h...
- If Donold doesn’t think it’s his job to uphold the Constitution, maybe someone else should have the job.
- JUST IN: Judge Xinis says the DOJ has failed to file a privilege log regarding invocation of the state secrets privilege in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case. She's giving them until 3pm or will construe it as "intentional refusal" to comply. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

- oh wow I wonder if this is something he could have done when the Trump admin condemned 2000 infants a day to a lifelong HIV infection or when he defied a unanimous Supreme Court decision ah well nevertheless
- Qatar wants: - U.S. weapons - Military protection - U.S. foreign policy influence in the Middle East - Favorable trade terms and investment opportunities Trump wants: - bribes So Qatar gave him a $400 million plane and a $5.5 billion golf course deal. This isn’t complicated.
- In my opinion? Absolutely. Taney brought us the disastrous Dred Scott, but Roberts has delivered horrible rulings on a wide variety of issues — Citizens United, Heller, Shelby County, Brnovich, Dobbs, and of course Trump v US.
- Wait. Did RFK, jr really take a swim in shits creek?
- hear me out what if we *neither* unconstitutionally accepted jets from a foreign nation *nor* kept throwing the jets we already have in the ocean?
- Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs has finally been seated and sworn in. It’s only been six months and eight days since she beat her Republican opponent Jefferson Griffin. It has been one hell of a ride but Democracy eventually prevailed. Congratulations Justice Riggs!!
- She’s in her AUTHOR ERA! It’s publication day for LAWLESS: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, & Bad Vibes! As a forever book nerd, I had so much fun writing this-I hope you have fun reading it! Get it at your local bookstore today!! bookshop.org/p/books/lawl...
- What do you bet that totally corrupt Clarence Thomas is reproaching himself right now: "Wait, I sold my soul for a $400,000 recreational vehicle when I could have held out for a $400,000,000 PLANE???"
- Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet
- It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.
- I heard Pam Bondi might have a laptop that outlines a 400 million dollar personal gift to the president designed to curry personal favor. The gift might even be laced with a spy device. If the libs HUNT for that LAPTOP, BY THEN the game's over. Hearings. Outrage. Scandal.
- It’s really rich that the Supreme Court ruled that Trump could literally do anything he wanted and never face consequences and now they’re running around crying about how the rule of law is in danger. Feckless, pathetic motherfuckers.

- Trumputin gives in to Xi. Reduces his 145% tariff to 10%. We knew he’d blink first. I wish I could play poker with him. He’d be down to his underwear (LOOK AWAY!) in minutes.
- Average Onion subscriber.
- Don't mess with librarians! The staff the LoC refused to let DOJ staffers sent by the new acting librarian Todd Blanche to enter the building! They called the Capital Police and their GC. They said they recognize the deputy librarian as being in power until they hear otherwise from Congress! 🔥🔥🔥

- What does Qatar get in return for the $400M plane it's gifting to Donald Trump? What’s the quid for the quo? It could be any number of things. The only certainty is that you and I and other Americans won’t necessarily benefit. America’s Grifter-in-Chief knows no bounds.
- Remember when the story broke about a worm eating part of his brain and nobody was that surprised?
- It's just crazy watching Republicans act like they'd be totally cool with Biden getting donated a half-billion dollar plane from Quatar less than two weeks after announcing a $5.5 billion deal for a new golf course. What. The. Actual. Fuck.
