Fetterman is not a moderate or centrist Democrat. Like Sinema and Joe Manchin a few years ago, he wants to announce as loudly as possible that the party has gone too far left and punish it for doing so. trib.al/byNISBB
The Solution to the Democrats’ John Fetterman Problem
The party doesn’t just need to secure 51 Senate seats—it needs 52. Fortunately, there is a visible path.

So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh
A Ukrainian F-16 shoots down a Russian Geran-2 drone with an onboard cannon.
Full steam ahead for the slush fund.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 3d agoFYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
Todd Blanche’s written assurance that the $1.8 billion slush fund won’t go forward is garbage. It won’t go forward today. What about tomorrow once Blanche is confirmed as AG? Tillis and Cornyn, agreeing to advance Blanche, are pathetic.

This is ridiculously scary. Yes, we are currently talking about ballrooms and reflecting pools and inflation and Iran and Venezuela and Epstein and crypto grift and the moral rot of the GOP. But all that is going to be forgotten soon. Shit is about to get real, as they say.
Zeke Hausfather@zekehausfather.com · 3d agoI'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
A video that looks like an FP-5 Flamingo missile flying at an ultra-low height appeared online. It's unclear where and when it was filmed.
Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.
At the end of April, ATF Director Robert Cekada announced that the agency would repeal the Biden administration’s rule for policing the “gun show loophole.” We broke down what that actually means:
The Trump Administration Made a Big Show of Repealing a Biden-Era Gun Rule. It Never Amounted to Much Anyway.
A Trace analysis of more than 600 federal prosecutions found the rule didn’t have the intended effect.

This short-term funding bill blocks a corrupt policy that would allow Trump to hold even more federal grants hostage—and it closes House Republicans' loophole to pull funding for other agencies to give to Border Patrol. My full statement.⬇️

ProPublica reviewed hundreds of cases in which judges criticized the actions of federal prosecutors. In many, judges expressed frustration that they can no longer take the government at its word.
