Cornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃

Dana Bash showed in this interview exactly how to handle a gaslighting sociopath. This is precisely how journalists should deal with all of them, including Trump.

Five Wall Street firms have already signed up to fuck the public using Trump's new Truth API. Nobody knows who they are. That means insider info sold to traders, Trump profiting off his own posts, and a sitting president financially incentivized in what he says and when. It's a Criminal Enterprise!

Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 5d ago

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.

Federal prosecutors admitted that they don’t have evidence to prove the Reflecting Pool was vandalized by the former Olympian David Hearn—undermining everything that Trump has been saying about the pool’s damage, @mviser.bsky.social reports.

How the Reflecting Pool Vandalism Case Fell Apart

Federal prosecutors searched for evidence and found that “a botched installation” was to blame.

Trump’s cuts are closing clinics, stripping coverage from tens of thousands, and pushing more people into the ER for basic care. We should be lowering costs and expanding access — not making South Carolinians sicker. www.greenvilleonline.com/story/opinio...

Closing clinics like Unity on Main strains healthcare resources and causes hardships for South Carolina families who deserve better.
