📽️ NEW: Trump is threatening to bypass Congress entirely to impose voter ID before the 2026 midterms.
Marc Elias breaks down Trump's late-night social media rants, what’s driving this voter suppression push and why he's living in a constitutional delusion👇
A federal tool to identify noncitizens on voter rolls keeps making mistakes.
“This is not ready for prime time,” a county clerk in Missouri said. “And I’m not going to risk the security and the constitutional rights of my voters for bad data.”

A statue depicting Trump and Jeffrey Epstein embracing in a “Titanic” pose similar to Jack and Rose appeared on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., this week.
The 12-foot statue was unveiled by The Secret Handshake group, a group of citizens using art and humor to prompt political discourse.
Homeownership is the cornerstone of the American Dream, but high entry costs have locked too many working families out of the market.
Today, I'm launching a down payment assistance program for first-time homebuyers to tear down those financial barriers.
MORE. OF. THIS. PLEASE.
If you are a reporter and not following up on questions this aggressively....quit...and go knit a pair of socks, play in the sand. Anything but pretend you are a reporter.
Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo pointing out that Republicans control every branch of government while quoting a GOP post blaming Democrats for long TSA lines.
The GOP could end the DHS shutdown immediately by agreeing that ICE should act like any other law enforcement agency.
Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free.
That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program.
Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
See how this works?
(Reuters) - U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of collapse any time soon after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

The war, which is nothing like a little excursion, hasn’t been ‘easier than expected’ as President Trump said this afternoon.
Iran is exporting more oil than ever before, our Gulf allies feel blindsided, the goalposts are shifting so far there’s no talk of any of the initial goals, . . .
WATCH - Joe Rogan (who supported Trump): “Nothing seems stable. Everywhere in the world seems fucked. In all my years this seems the most unstable globally.”
"The spirit of liberty requires moral courage among the people who are elected to Congress... but it also requires all of us It requires us to speak out without fear It requires us to tell others unpleasant truths that they do not want to hear."
Epstein didn’t just leave behind a scandal. He left behind a financial architecture. Dozens of entities. Hundreds of accounts. Private ledgers. Corporate shells. And two quiet professionals who helped run the system...and later inherited control of the wreckage.

Congratulations and thank you. We are getting into position to make a strong push to the midterms.
Trump during the campaign: “I will end that war in 24 hours. It won’t even take that long. There will be no more bombing of Ukraine and Russia and everyone will be happy. It wouldn’t even be that tough. I know just what to say to each of them. It will be over in one phone call.”
They've learned nothing and they intend to learn nothing.

Dozens of victims of Jeffrey Epstein have filed a lawsuit against Pam Bondi, accusing her of helping conceal key details during the early handling of the Epstein investigation.

I wonder if Pete Hegseth had to provide evidence of work for the millions of dollars he spent on lobster tail…
Gas has gone up 80 cents a gallon in my neighborhood in just 10 days. That means it costs $18 dollars more to fill up the average tank.
This will drive up the price of literally everything.
Paying Chevron more … for freedom
Commodity analyst Paul Sankey on CNBC, with an unnerving analogy:
"Some of us are looking at this a bit like what we saw with Covid, where the market seemed to be 'air-walking', regardless of what was clearly a very bad situation -- and then, suddenly, you know, collapsed when it all came home."
here's today's post: "billions wasted on an illegal war, but at least Marco Rubio’s shoes don’t fit. so there’s that."

“epstein class is iranian propaganda” is definitely something i’d expect the epstein class to say
All the libs who screamed about project 2025 were fucking right.

Oversight Democrats are keeping the pressure on the DOJ and Epstein's estate until they release all the files in their possession.
Our investigation is far from over. We have a ton of important testimonies coming up, including today's deposition of Epstein's personal accountant.
Wesley powers, and maybe veteran who served in combat was sprayed with chemical agents, brutalized and then detained in overcrowded & horrific conditions and denied his rights.
If this can happen to him, it can happen to any of us!

Hedy Lamarr.
Often called the mother of Wi-Fi, she co-invented frequency-hopping technology in 1942 that became the foundation of modern wireless communication.
Inventor. Actress. A mind far ahead of its time.
