A lot of folks on the right owe Joe and Hunter Biden an immediate apology, or they better start calling out the huge conflict of interest in Trump’s sons profiting off government access: Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump.
This is wild and in plain sight.

This is one of the stupidest DOJ cases in history. Southern Poverty Law Center wasn’t paying the Klan, they were paying informants to who were helping to take down the Klan.
Unless you believe white supremacists all of a sudden took over SPLC, this entire case makes no sense.
The money doesn’t lie.
The evidence shows the charity who supposedly fought the Klan - FUNDED the Klan.
The charity who supposedly fought Neo-nazis - FUNDED Neo-nazis.
The SPLC engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, funded the very hate groups they claim to oppose, and then hid their operations from the public through shell companies and fake entities.
This @FBI and @DAGToddBlanche won’t let them get away with it any longer.

Earlier today on #MorningJoe, I addressed the growing concerns surrounding Donald Trump and his overnight social media activity, and what it reflects about leadership and stability.
From calling for Chuck Schumer to resign, to pushing baseless claims against Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, to amplifying commentary tied to the Southern Poverty Law Center and Elon Musk, none of it shows focus or consistency.
You cannot run the country if you are all over the place. No matter how structured the staff may be, if the president himself is unstable, that instability reaches the entire nation.

The Trump administration has a political crisis, and there is growing optimism among Democrats on Capitol Hill that a wave is forming for November.
When you start hearing terms like “Ohio” and “toss-up” together, that gets attention. Democrats are increasingly optimistic about their chances—not just to hold tough U.S. House seats in Ohio, but to win a U.S. Senate seat.

BREAKING: Stunning new polling reveals that Donald Trump’s approval rating on handling the economy is the lowest of any President in American history at this point in their term. Make sure every American sees this.

Today's a stellar day to leave MAGA. Here's how to leave:
1. Renounce the falsehoods, lies and conspiracies of MAGA politics. Defection from Trump is not enough.
2. Apologize.
3. Build up democracy, rather than tear it down, by making the continued case that we, as a people, agree more than we disagree.

As someone who was in MAGA for 7 years, what I can attest to is: much of the appeal of MAGA is that it provides a community for those who feel politically disillusioned and left behind. These feelings should be acknowledged and validated; I am not defending ignorance, but most in MAGA are good people who have been led astray.
The case that needs to be made to MAGA supporters is that we agree more than we disagree.
You cannot disdain 79 million people and call it a strategy.
I have Democratic friends who want to saw Trump voters off the country.
My message to them is simple: Grow up!!
You have to look at those people and say — I get why you’re angry.
How do we bring you back into the social contract?
Nativism, isolationism, antisemitism, racism — we’ve had all of it since day one.
Lincoln called it an imperfect union searching for more perfection.
That’s still the job.
And if you’re sitting there sneering down at Trump voters with your bifocals on — take the bifocals off.
Look in the mirror and accept your own culpability for how we got here.
Trump is a wake up call. Answer it.

ICYMI — @RepMcGovern: “Trump is in an imaginary world. He needs an intervention… SNAP provides ~$2 per meal, we’re told more cuts are coming. We have 46 million hungry, they don’t seem to give a shit. We ought to be able to end hunger. They spent $60 billion on the war in Iran.”

RFK is dangerous to the American public.
He ought to be fired.
He ought to have the decency to resign.
He is way in over his head.

How the President of the United States speaks and speaks about others, other nations, women, persons of color, citizens, matters, a lot.
We live in an age where we no longer value decency, civility, or basic respect from our leaders. But the U.S. Presidency is an institution. It is bigger than the man sitting in it for 4-8 years. I addressed how this shift in expectations has hurt our nation at 250. We need to do better. #RedefiningFreedom #America250

To be clear, the eight Iranian women who were allegedly political prisoners set for execution and saved by Trump are nonexistent and generated by AI. The 170 Iranian schoolgirls who were blown to smithereens by Trump's orders were all very real, and are dead.
Cristy Wilkinson🇺🇸🦅 retweeted
Iranians residing in the U.S. who can't return home safely must be protected—not forcibly removed. Trump’s war and Iran's already dire human rights crisis make it unsafe for Iranians abroad to go home. The Trump admin must shield Iranians in our communities and pause deportations while the war continues.

The only people who believe there’s a real case here are conservatives who have an axe to grind about being (accurately) labeled hate groups.
The federal case against the SPLC is baffling former prosecutors:
-“I was very surprised that anyone would have ever charged a case like this.”
-“It’s not a valid indictment.” cbsnews.com/news/southern-po…

NEW EPISODE: Democrats pulled off a huge win in Virginia to combat Donald Trump’s gerrymandering power grab. I am joined by Ashley Cleaves to break down this win; how election deniers have responded; and the other states where democracy is on the line. youtu.be/IO60Kqf3AfU?si=JYzh…

excellent choice by @CNBC
Some personal news ... this week, I stepped into a new role as @CNBC's DC bureau chief. It’s never been a more exciting time to cover the intersection of politics and the economy -- and I'm grateful to work with the smartest people doing it every day. talkingbiznews.com/media-new…

This is not a dilemma. The legacy media needs to spare us the bullshit and have some self-respect. Don't go to dinner with Donald Trump!
