Former intel official: What is the intent of appointing Bill Pulte? If you take your number one attack dog and you put him in charge of the 17 agencies that collect the most sensitive secrets, what would that mean in the hands of someone who is known as a political targeter?

Sen. Murphy to Mullin: Now that you are on the job, will you commit to us that DHS will follow court orders if a ruling says ICE has done something illegal? Mullin refuses to answer.

GOP Rep Keane hasn't been seen in 3 months. 'Apparently he will be back to run for re-election, but I don't feel he's really earned that.' Is this on-brand for today's Republican party, or what?

Unearthed footage shows Trump's acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte receiving strange award: "This says 'Bill Pulte Fucks' ... it does say, 'Only The Young' on the back here."

Q: We've been asking why Bill Pulte is qualified to be DNI. You're a heart surgeon? ā€œDr.ā€ Oz: Yes. Q: Would you recommend a patient go see someone who isn't? 🤔Oz: *silence*

Q: If Trump is in such perfect health, why does he keep going back for checkups? Faux ā€œDr.ā€ Oz: I think he likes the results. He does really well. He aces the test every single day. I blame @Oprah for this clown.

Secretary of Trump’s Taint, gelatinous Marco Rubio, says he is happy about how we have transformed foreign aid, brushing off massive policy failures as bumps in the road.It must be nice to live in a world where destroying international alliances and abandoning global stability is a proud achievement

11 3

Appointing a DNI with zero intelligence experience because he’s a great guy socially? The White House actually admitted they trust Trump’s judgment because he’s a quick study of people’s emotional abilities. We are talking about national security, not a reality TV casting call.

12 8

Fox News out here trying to rebrand ICE as a completely anonymous agency that "no one knew who they were." They think if they say it with a straight face in a stadium, it becomes true. The gaslighting is real, but fortunately, the rest of us actually have memories.

9 3

Sen. Jeff Merkley directly confronts the horrific human cost of slashing humanitarian aid, citing data that 500,000 children died after a sudden USAID shutdown. "That's the level of carnage." To deny this reality is a shameful betrayal of our supposed values.

21 15

Ossoff: This is what small men like Trump, Vance and Miller will never understand. Our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas. Americans are a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions. That is what makes us exceptional.

Fox: Wall Street Journal describes you as "scandal plagued." Paxton: The reality is they could say the same thing about Donald Trump. (Credit: atrupar)

Ossoff: He's trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself. But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he's gone...because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

A Texas BBQ owner said beef prices have gone up ā€˜quite a bit’ and ā€˜I look at numbers a lot.’ That’s it. That’s the whole quote. A small business owner watching his livelihood shrink in real time, trying to be polite about it. We don’t have to be.

A food bank CEO said fuel costs went from $14,000 to $24,000 a month. That extra $10,000? It was going to feed people. Now it feeds a gas tank. This is the economy they’re bragging about. Tell me again who’s winning.

10 3

ā€œA ā€˜very quick little blip’?? That’s what inept Brooke Rollins called the fertilizer price spike from the Iran war. Then in the SAME breath she said if prices don’t come down ā€˜we will lose our country.’ Which is it? A blip or an existential crisis? You can’t have it both ways.ā€

In a chilling pivot, Whiskey Pete and Trump are responsible for this global chaos. "Toothless" peace and global cooperation are being replaced by raw, terrifying "combat power." Alliances are no longer measured by flags of unity, but by the number of war-ready formations.

Flat Earth believers are out here with more company than Trump’s building dedication committee. šŸŒ

Sen Andy Kim: Refusing to address the inhumane conditions at Delaney Hall is a choice that ICE and GEO Group are making. Putting profit over people. Here are 3 things Secretary Mullin COULD focus on fixing right now.

8 2

Jeffries toured Delaney Hall. Called for it to be shut down. Health inspectors blocked. The Trump regime is running a prison camp it won’t let anyone inspect. That is not an accident. That is a cover-up.

11 7

Watching Trump’s cabinet line up to say "thank you & they love you" is utterly chilling. Nicolle Wallace points out, it looks so fake you'd think it was AI. Millions of Americans are struggling & furious, while these literal sycophants treat public service like a cult initiation.

"Once you get to that point, then you’ll see the price shoot up." ExxonMobil is sounding the alarm on terrifyingly low oil inventories, but the White House is laughing it off on TV. Real families pay the price for this while they smile and play political games.

6 5

Even Mike Pence admits that creating a weaponization fund to compensate people who assaulted police officers and vandalized the Capitol on January 6th is totally unacceptable. It is terrifying that MAGA extremists are trying to reward literal insurrectionists.

6 1

White House advisor Kevin Hassett dismisses the pain of everyday Americans by claiming the media only focuses on "negativity." Try telling that to families struggling with high gas prices and inflation. They’re laughing off your economic pain while bragging about egg prices.

15 3

Trump claims his strikes haven't really hurt the Iranian military 🧐Three weeks ago, he was saying Iran had no navy or Air Force left to speak of.

5 1

"I don't think the news is that bad, I think the news is bad." This dismissive wordplay from creepy putz Scott Bessent shows a blatant disregard for journalism. Watching Bessent try to rewrite reality on national TV just to insulate Trump from critique is pure gaslighting.

4 1

We are back to 2008-level financial distress, but the White House only cares about billionaires. "We talk to the CEOs of the credit card companies all the time," Kevin Hassett said, totally dismissing struggling citizens.

Sen Schiff calls the court ruling blocking Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund a start — but only a start. Next week he’s introducing legislation to shut it down permanently and make sure convicted cop assaulters never see a dollar of your tax money.

Robert Garcia is direct: this is the most corrupt White House in American history. And he has receipts. Work on Epstein, court wins blocking the Kennedy Center takeover and Trump’s $1.8B slush fund — the fight is producing results.

Q: gov Gavin Newsom has floated this idea of a 100% state tax on money from Trump's anti-weaponization fund. Your response? Creepy putz Bessent: uh....there's no cure for stupid. Bessent is absolutely galling in his condescension.

The Pentagon is handing out military parade tickets based on waist size. A defense official literally said ā€œno fatties.ā€ These are the same Republicans who slashed VA benefits and fired decorated generals. Our troops deserve better than a casting call.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on sending troops to the Middle East: ā€œThese young people aren’t afraid. They want to fight.ā€ He is not young. He is not going. He will not fight. He just doesn’t care.

A Project 2025 architect just said the quiet part out loud: they proposed 1,913 recommendations. 1,055 are already implemented. And the credit? ā€œDonald J. Trump.ā€ This was always the plan. You were always meant to think it wasn’t.

Andrew Schulz isn’t buying the spin on Trump’s ā€œweaponization fundā€ — and neither should you. ā€œWe know exactly what this really is. It’s just a slush fund for him and his buddies.ā€ A self-described political outsider. Watching another insider grift. In plain sight.

American incomes are decaying. The personal savings rate has collapsed to historic lows. People aren’t spending because they’re thriving — they’re spending because they’re surviving. This isn’t sustainable. The economy is broken for working people.

6 2

Brooke Rollins stripped food benefits from 4.3 million people and told Congress she doesn’t have exact data on what happened to them. The One Big Beautiful Bill cut $186 billion from SNAP and added paperwork requirements that end benefits if you miss a deadline.

4 2

Spoiler alert: this is never going to happen. Q: How long until we see Trump's face on a $250 bill? Bessent: There is proposed legislation to change the requirements so that a living person, Donald J. Trump, could be on the $250 bill.

2 0

Q: Can you comment on the IRS settlement which was rolled over into this weaponization fund over at DOJ? Bessent: It would be inappropriate for me to comment. Trump is a great American who has endured more than 10 years of nonstop harassment and weaponization. Wait, what?!?!

2 1

Trump sued the IRS — an agency HE runs — then SETTLED WITH HIMSELF and handed $1.8 BILLION of YOUR tax dollars to his cronies. The Treasury’s own lawyer quit rather than rubber-stamp the theft. This is a heist. In broad daylight.

1 1

They took your Medicaid. Your student loans. Your food assistance. Meanwhile Trump is personally raking in billions — pardons, crypto, a ballroom, an arch. You could buy a BATTLESHIP with his grift. We’re done pretending this is normal.

They clutched pearls over Dijon mustard. Over Billy Beer. Over Hunter repaying a truck loan. But Trump’s family is looting the Treasury in real time and Republicans are silent. Their selective outrage was never about ethics. It was always about power.

Trump is 52 points underwater on inflation. Harry Enten says no president has ever been this bad. Historic failure, now with a war attached, and the damage keeps climbing fast.

Reporter: Ken Paxton is calling you 'Talafreako.' Talarico: He just released child rapist Adam Hoffman from jail after his wealthy atty friends got involved. Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life. He served less than a month. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.

Republicans: if you ever wondered if your boot licking would pay off - here's your answer. He does not care about the midterms and your elections.

When you've started so many wars you can't remember who you're currently bombing. Can the entire country just start admitting the man should not be in charge of our country let alone have the nuclear codes?

9 5

Trump: "Pete Hegseth is central casting. He loves war!" At least he's admitting it so no one has to call us conspiracy theorists when we tell the truth.

6 5

Trump cooked up a 1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund for Jan. 6 insurrectionists, and somehow expects applause. Nice try. If you riot for the man and cash the check, New York should tax every last cent. Accountability is not optional.

āØšŸŽ„ā© ⁨Fox: Food prices will go up soon. The price of wheat is up more than 20%. Soybeans up by 11%. One third of the world's fertilizer comes through the Strait of Hormuz. Since the start of the Iran conflict, the price of fertilizer is up by 44%.⁩

Fox confronts RNC Chair Joe Gruters with Trump's abysmal approval rating: "It is remarkable that with Trump's approval rating at 39%, he is able to maintain support across the party."

6 2

Fox: Senate Republicans are in near open revolt. They're not happy with Trump's $1.7 billion slush fund that pays January 6th rioters, or the $200 million Trump wants taxpayers to fork out for the ballroom. The timing could hardly be worse. The price of gas is about $4 a gallon.

15 6

Reporter: If you want $3 gas, you're going to have to wait 6 years. We will not get back down to that sub-$70 oil level until 2032.

CNN just played the montage and it’s devastating — months of Trump swearing gas prices would drop, back to back to back. He was so confident. He was so wrong. The tape doesn’t lie.l

Dr. Reiner on Trump’s exam today: ā€œIf they repeat scans from the last year, that means they’re surveilling something — and that’s never been disclosed to us.ā€ Almost 80, multiple Walter Reed visits, swollen legs. What are they hiding?

Oopsy! Dave McCormick (R-PA) catches himself calling it the "Trump Regime" mid-sentence. Gotta love it!

Harry Enten just put the number on screen: Republicans gave Trump a +68 net approval on inflation when he was running. It’s now -5. That’s a 73-point collapse on the issue he built his entire comeback on. It’s about time.

Trump is genuinely out here claiming he won the LGBTQ+ vote because he played a song at his rallies. Truly, who needs fundamental human rights or basic dignity when you have a track on the playlist? The unhinged delusion of this man is honestly exhausting.

A reporter asked about progress reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and Marco Rubio replied, "It would be pretty ambitious to be able to open the Straits at this meeting here." Imagine thinking that doing your actual job at a major global summit is just too ambitious for you.

"I suspect this is going to become a very significant pandemic," warns experts on the Ebola outbreak, noting it will likely "leak into Tanzania... maybe leak into Rwanda." It’s going to be "very disruptive," and we are completely unprepared because we refuse to fund global health.

Noah Wyle: "Congress-pass healthcare workers' tax credit. Medicine is hard enough with the staffing ratio and decades old tuition bills." We must support those whose calling in life is to serve those in need. Their life's mission is to help us. Now, it's our turn to help them.

Trump brushed off his own son's wedding by saying "I'm going to try and make it" because of "Iran and other things." Probably golf. Then he calls his own flesh and blood "a person I've known for a long time."

Springsteen to Colbert: "You're the first guy in America to lose his show because we got a president who can't take a joke...and because Larry & David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass. These are small minded people with no idea about the freedoms of this beautiful country."

Massie’s bill exposed 2 dozen CEOs and world leaders in 6 months. He had 7 months left, so the GOP panicked, blasted voters with fake AI deepfakes to destroy his credibility, and shut him down. They are actively protecting the worst monsters on earth, and they just proved it.

9 2

Americans: "We can’t afford groceries or gas." JD Vance: "A $1.8 BILLION DOJ fund sounds pretty reasonable to me." You're sacrificing every day just to get by, but Vance thinks billions of your tax dollars disappear into a government fund "very reasonably." Unbelievable.

12 10

While working families struggle, JD Vance is using the White House briefing room to play victim for J6 insurrectionists, lamenting that they don't get an "ounce of sympathy." Sorry, we aren't crying for the crowd that attacked police and smashed windows to stop a vote, Shady.

Inept acting AG Todd Blanche throws a fit: "I'm the acting AG, okay? The fact that I used to be Trump's lawyer is just a fact." He’s not used to being out of Trump’s taint.

Demented Trump's self congratulatory rant about Reflecting 'Lake’: I've upgraded it like you wouldn't believe. It's going to be beautiful. It's going to be waterproof. It's going to be reflecting." The 25th Amendment is a political appendix, a vestigial organ that needs to burst.l l

Sen. Reed: When Trump first announced this lawsuit, he said, 'I think I'll give the money to charity.' Will you fulfill Trump's wish that the money goes to respected charities? Blanche: That's not ultimately what the settlement calls for.

Sen Mark Kelly destroys Trump & Hegseth. They're trying to avoid accountability. What did we get out of this? 15K strikes, 13 Americans dead, 165 children dead. Strait of Hormuz closed. Gas prices rising. We have an incompetent Secr. of Defense who has no idea what he's doing.

Trump approval dropped to lowest (but still too high) level of 37%. Views on economy fell to lowest point in several years (CBS poll 5/18/26). Only 29% say economy is good. Americans are feeling financially stressed. Trump is an epic failure.

8 6

MAGA Republican Andy Biggs backed Trump’s bill that cut SNAP for more than 400,000 Arizonans. Now he wants to be governor. If you do not want his hunger politics in the governor’s office, do not hand him the job.

Watch this breakdown of how Trump made 3,600 stock trades in three months while altering government policy. From reversing China chip restrictions for Nvidia to pushing crypto bills, every single official action conveniently doubles as a personal get-rich-quick scheme.

The acting head of the DOJ is on television claiming that a federal investigation into a president "should never happen." That isn't law and order—that is demanding complete immunity from accountability. No one is supposed to be above the law.

China says a tariff deal was struck, but Trump says the topic didn't even come up. Jamieson Greer’s response is a masterclass in blind loyalty: "Of course he was telling the truth." I guess we are all just supposed to pretend China’s official statements don't exist.
