We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account.
Watch former DOJ prosecutor Mark Blumberg and human rights leader Brad Adams launch this critical accountability initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.

In a fundraising plea on behalf of endangered GOP incumbents, Rep. @SteveScalise (R-Trumpistan) says XXX “will fight for our first responders, cut taxes, and reduce Washington’s out-of-control spending.”
🚨 After two years of total R control, why is spending “out of control”??

⚡️️ Zelensky pushes back against Musk, says Ukraine uses Starshield only to defend its territory.
"When Elon Musk said that we use Starshield against the Russians — yes, against the Russians, but on our own territory. This is not offensive; it’s defensive," Zelensky told journalists at a press briefing.

RFKs racist rant against Arabs was despicable. It was personally offensive since Alex Azar and myself —both Arab Americans —were his predecessors. I am proud of my Arab heritage. He is a bigot and a racist.

It was actually our 250th anniversary.
Not that you would know — you spent it with the British.
Paxton: On July 4th, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of our country.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
July 4 2026 marked the 250th anniversary of US independence not the 200th as claimed in the video. Multiple reports placed Paxton in London England that weekend with videos of the trip.

Incumbent presidents are supposed to partially reimburse the federal government when using Air Force One and other govt facilities for clearly political purposes. Is anyone keeping count of President Trump’s reimbursements?

This is beyond disgraceful. Gambling is a cancer. Prediction markets even worse; they will cause more athletes to cheat, more to be threatened if they make or miss foul shots or play for fewer minutes. Less confidence in integrity of the game. Shame on the NBA and Adam Silver.
The NBA has reached deals with Kalshi and Polymarket to make them the league's preferred prediction markets partners. The companies can now use NBA IP on their platforms, while the NBA gets right of approval on markets that they offer. That and more:

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Update: MVA says they can’t accept my proof of payment and that the city needs to let them know that it was their fault. “They’re one of our worst jurisdictions,” employee tells me, saying people routinely come in with everything in order only to be told the city dropped ball

President Trump in Michigan: "By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss. Stand up. That's hard to miss."

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory"
Obama just spoke to an ELECTRIC audience in Ohio, skewering Trump and Pete Hegseth and making the case that while we may be stuck with the same president for two more years, we are not stuck with a spineless do-nothing Congress
Here are the highlights:

Archive these resources ASAP.👇
In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web. motherjones.com/environment/…
Horrific
“the student has no family and lives in a group home for adults with developmental disabilities.
After the agents released him, the student walked to school, crying and in pain. His teacher saw him and dialed 911”
