I take it back. THIS is the greatest closing argument ever.
Trump: "We're giving serious thought to changing the name to the Trump Reflecting Pool"

Republicans changed the law in PA and WI so this would happen in 2020. It was part of Trump’s plan to steal the election. It was widely covered and you can read about if you want.
It's so normal that it never happened until 2020.

.@Timodc: "We took legal asylum holders based on their tattoos and sent them to a foreign gulag…Were you okay with sending people to a foreign prison based on their tattoos without due process?" Kolvet: "I don't know that story." Miller: "Do you guys not read the news?"

Alex Pretti's father: We wish Alex was alive. This administration has taken that away from us. We will no longer stay silent about the actions of the Department of Justice. What we have been treated to is cruelty. By Dan Rosen in the US Attorney's office, from the Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has ignored our letter begging for basic information. They have shielded Alex's killers. This is not justice.

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

FIRST ON CBS: As President Trump boasts about how much money the U.S. oil and gas industry is making from the war with Iran, the president's personal holdings in oil and gas are now worth between $22.5 million and $81.6 million, compared with $12.6 million to $46 million at the end of 2025, according to a new report by Democrats on the Congressional Joint Economic Committee. cbsn.ws/47IN9un

Nancy Pelosi, who is regularly hammered for her perceived insider trading, has made 213 total trades since 2014. Trump exceeded that number in a single day, which just happened to precede his own tariffs announcement. My latest on the mind boggling self-enrichment:

Just pumping out 190 proof straight up racism and the media will sanitize and sane wash it b/c this is the guy who keeps the lights on in their newsrooms.
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

This project of making machines imitate humanity ever more closely strikes me as an evil and dangerous enterprise that society should at least stigmatize and probably outlaw.
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa

Replying to @SenatorCollins
Imagine running for reelection on the accomplishment of convincing a Republican president to stop economically punishing your own constituents. That's the Republican platform now.

Imagine the bottomless narcissism required to stand on a stage and clutch a framed, Microsoft Word-templated certificate declaring you "Man of the Century".

BREAKING: CFTC staff have reportedly been told to retract their analysis of suspicious oil trades. They include well-timed bets on oil futures placed shortly before major Trump announcements on the Iran war. In one case, investors placed roughly $950 million in oil bets just hours before the April 7 ceasefire announcement.

This may be the single worst piece of propaganda ever created. A U.S. president—clutching his mangled hand—threatens his own population with “economic depression” if the opposing party wins. And offers an impossible $5,000 bribe if they vote how he wants. I’m so embarrassed.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Important context needed: Trump previously promised 2 dividends and never followed through. In early 2025, Trump publicly backed a roughly $5,000 “DOGE dividend” In November 2025, he promised a $2,000 “tariff dividend” newsweek.com/every-dividend…

I think there's genuinely at least a 35% chance that Trump is obsessed with bringing down Lisa Cook because he can't distinguish her in his head from Letitia James.

The subtext of every Jon Ossoff debate clip is: 'I'm not gonna be like Tim Walz, if you put me on the debate stage with JD Vance, I'll go after him' teapawt.net/atrupar/status/2108346…
Ossoff: "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club"

This is so laughably dishonest. The Trump administration would like to change the definition of socialism because it's *engaging in it* and has bought stakes in dozens of private companies. JD Vance is practically a woke progressive at this point.
Asked how he defines socialism, @VP Vance says: "I don't know what the term means anymore. I think in reality, what it actually means in the American context is that you want to replace American workers with foreign workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports."

In the VP's defense, if he accurately defined socialism, it would arguably apply to the 35 government ownership stakes the Trump administration has taken in the last 16 months.
Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports
