Trump and White House officials were all smiles and appeared in good spirits at the press conference following the WHCD incident

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

Often we speak to the public, but today - we're talking to you, ranger friends. Another week, another (our third!) buy-out attempt, or "deferred resignation"/fork in the road email.

Something I've been thinking about for days, weeks, years maybe even, is that a majority of our laws and rules guideposts were created when public servants were required to have some semblance of a moral compass. What has unfolded in the last 48 hours would've been unfathomable to our forebears.

The entire Dem leadership should CALL THEMSELVES OUT OF VACATION and set up camp in chambers and shame the shit out of the deadbeat war criminals, the Genocide Ol' Party.

Donald Trump is threatening to bomb an entire civilization and JD Vance is in Hungary with the audacity to say this: “We have a sacred duty to protect life.”

VANKY!!! Come get your dad!!!

I know Trump is insane and evil but he’s literally just one guy. This could be ended at any time if people in power would just hit him with a fucking newspaper and say NO! Thats the most infuriating part of all of this. HE IS JUST ONE MAN FFS

All right, live whatevering of Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case. Arguing for the bad guys is US Solitictor General John (voice is an immutable characteristic so let's show some respect) Sauer. For the plaintiffs it's ACLU legal director Cecillia Wang.

A year ago this week, we started to see DOGE fully infiltrating many of the digital service departments within agencies across the government. One year later and we are still dealing with the fallout and trying to clean up the mess they continue to make.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Zelensky has made a habit of visiting soldiers near the front lines every month or two, even though his security detail hates these trips. Zelensky said he found them inspiring. “I’m here for the morale level of officers and soldiers.” No paywall, check out the images/videos too. #SlavaUkraini
