Looks like Jesus Christ Superstar over here might land in prison. All that talk about the Save America Act and election fraud! That was projection?!
I’d want to “step away” too if I committed a federal crime that was about to face a body capable of investigating it

This is fucking insane.
It reads like a bad spy novel. The corruption is almost cartoonish at this point.
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

The entire @JDVance '28 bid should be haunted by his defense of Amy Acton's mother - a woman who stayed married to the fugitive who raped her 12-year-old daughter - for "telling it like it is."

This.
Calling this a complete clusterfuck would be too generous.
The war with Iran put so much at risk. We are seeing that more with each passing day and these manifestations will only accelerate now. Totally foreseeable and thus avoidable. There is no amount of denial or propaganda that can overcome this reality. If it ended tomorrow with a successful negotiation, it would still be a massive loser strategically for the U.S.

I oppose the death penalty, but I didn't always feel that way. I understand the people who support it - because I once was one of them.
But either way, the death penalty staged as a public spectacle is an abomination and stains us all.

Inflation was lower, wage gains higher, job gains greater, GDP growth faster, the deficit smaller, mortgage rates lower, unemployment lower, and the number of uninsured lower when Trump took office.
You don't get to blame the last administration when your party has had full control of the federal government for 20 months, and everything about the economy has worsened.

Again, gas prices spiked in 2022-23 because Russia invaded Ukraine which caused a major disruption in global supply. Then they came down. Biden didn’t cause it.
Gas prices rose in 2026 due solely to the stupidity of Trump who started a war in the Middle East.

Khanna: This is about the survivors. If this passes, we would have people like Leon Black prosecuted by attorneys general. We’d get Attorney General Raul Torrez in New Mexico being able to prosecute based on the Zorro Epstein ranch.
This is about getting the remaining documents out, and this is a huge issue now because all we need is one more person. And the question for Speaker Johnson: Are you going to stand up to this Epstein class? Are the Republicans going to stand up to the Epstein class?

@BulwarkOnline did a supercut of all the prior times Trump said he was about to give Americans a $5000 check or whatever.
It is glorious

Trump's midterm convention warning: Democrats are dangerous socialists who want to give away your money.
Trump's midterm convention promise: Vote for me and everyone gets $5,000.

since becoming president again, Trump has promised:
-$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend"
-$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend"
-$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies
-$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms
no checks have been issued

If you are dumb enough to believe this, you are probably a Trump voter.
Trump: So if the Republicans win, you get $5000.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Important Context: Trump has previously promised $5000 DOGE checks and $2000 tariff rebate checks, only to deny he ever promised those checks and never follow through.
