VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump called out on lying agenda to his face
When confronted with the grim truth that millions of Trump's own supporters will be unceremoniously kicked off their healthcare by his budget-busting tax cut bill, the president responded the way he always does — by lying his ass off.

Joe Scarborough mocks "insane" Democrats for denying AOC a "place" in leadership, wonders aloud if it's because she's "under 80"
"I sit here, fairly conservative, independent, absolutely flummoxed by a Democratic Party that refuses to let her in leadership. Like proving that the House is not a meritocracy, never was a meritocracy. The fact that they're afraid to have the person who is considered in polls to be the voice and the face of the Democratic Party. And by the way, she’s under 80. I don’t know if you knew that or not. She’s under 80. So you're telling me that the Democratic Party does not have a place for her in leadership? Do you know how insane that is?" said Scarborough. Yeah, Joe, in fact, we do know how insane that is.

Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher aims to sink Lauren Boebert's career
Eileen for Colorado: MAGA extremist Lauren Boebert represents everything that’s wrong with the modern GOP. A Trump sycophant who rubber-stamps the worst of his excesses — when she’s not making a fool of herself in House hearings or getting thrown out of children’s theater productions — Lauren Boebert barely survived her last election, winning by only 594 votes. Her conduct in Congress has inspired former National Security Council member Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher to run for Congress, flip her VERY winnable seat blue, and restore our congressional majority! Will you make a donation and help jump-start her campaign?
Economic analysis shows Trump's "big, beautiful bill" taking from poor, giving to rich
Surprise, surprise, surprise. The MAGA cult leader's "big, beautiful bill" is actually a big, beautiful redistribution of "wealth" from the most vulnerable among us to the most entitled. This is the worst Robin Hood reboot ever.

16 Democrats vote with the GOP to advance landmark crypto bill
As Donald Trump prepares to hold a special dinner for the biggest bribers — oops, we mean buyers — of his crypto memecoin, a slew of prominent Democrats crossed the aisle to hand a huge win to the MAGA cult leader and the crypto industry. Sen. Elizabeth Warren rallied the opposition, saying that "a bill that turbocharges the stablecoin market, while facilitating the President’s corruption and undermining national security, financial stability, and consumer protection is worse than no bill at all." Other Democrats clearly disagreed, including Mark Warner, who justified his vote by saying "we cannot allow that corruption to blind us to the broader reality: blockchain technology is here to stay."

Israeli strikes kill at least 85 in Gaza as Israel allows more aid into Palestinian territory but prevents it from reaching starving people
At least 85 people were killed in the latest round of IDF airstrikes as Israel finally relented and allowed 100 aid trucks to enter the ravaged enclave — but the Israeli army deliberately delayed and obstructed aid delivery by forcing the supplies to be reloaded onto different trucks. UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric described the new security process for getting aid cleared to warehouses as "long, complex, complicated and dangerous." He said Israeli military requirements for aid workers to unload and reload the trucks are hindering efforts to distribute the aid. Israel has been blocking all food and aid from entering Gaza for nearly three months. 93% of all children in Gaza are at the risk of starvation.
Revealed: UnitedHealth secretly paid nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers
UnitedHealth Group, the nation’s largest healthcare conglomerate, has secretly paid nursing homes thousands of dollars in bonuses to help slash hospital transfers for ailing residents — part of a series of cost-cutting tactics that has saved the company millions, but at times risked residents’ health, a Guardian investigation has found. Those secret bonuses have been paid out as part of a UnitedHealth program that stations the company’s own medical teams in nursing homes and pushes them to cut care expenses for residents covered by the insurance giant. In several cases identified by the Guardian, nursing home residents who needed immediate hospital care under the program failed to receive it, after interventions from UnitedHealth staffers. At least one lived with permanent brain damage following his delayed transfer, according to a confidential nursing home incident log, recordings and photo evidence. Timely reminder that UnitedHealthcare boasted $14.4 BILLION in profits in 2024 — including $5.5 billion in the fourth quarter alone, right around the same time Luigi Mangione gunned down the company's CEO in New York City.
GOP lawmakers plot to kick millions off their healthcare
Care Can’t Wait: Lawmakers are coming for Medicaid — the program that covers more than 1 in 5 Americans. We’re talking kids, seniors, people with disabilities, caregivers, and millions of everyday folks who rely on it just to get by. The people who literally keep households running are being shut out of basic health coverage. Without Medicaid, essential doctor visits, medications, and basic care is out of reach for so many.

Trump unveils $175 billion, 3-year price tag for Golden Dome
The MAGA cult leader has decided it is a top priority for America to protect itself by spending $175 BILLION — to start — on a "Golden Dome" missile defense shield similar to Israel's Iron Dome, even though the United States is roughly 400 times larger than Israel and generally not under routine rocket or missile threat from neighbors or far-away adversaries. But more alarming than the obscene price tag — which the Congressional Budget Office has said could easily eclipse $500 BILLION — is the fact that this move would put US weapon systems in outer space for the first time, opening up a new frontier in military competition that will oblige a similar response from other nations and thus necessitate even MORE outrageous spending to keep up in a space race to the bottom of the national pocketbook. "The United States, in pursuing a 'US-first' policy, is obsessed with seeking absolute security for itself. This violates the principle that the security of all countries should not be compromised and undermines global strategic balance and stability. China is seriously concerned about this," said a Chinese government spokesman. Yes, we are also seriously concerned about this.
Democratic senator scolds Rubio about flip-flops since joining Trump administration: "I'm not even mad…simply disappointed"
It has truly been remarkable to see Marco Rubio transform to a whipped dog ever since joining the Trump administration, abandoning all of his previously held principles (which, to be clear, were also AWFUL) in order to become yet another obsequious MAGA toady who happily claps and rubber-stamps every insane thing his wannabe dictator boss has said or done. Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen of Nevada publicly called Rubio out on it today, saying that "as a mother, a senator, and a fellow human being, I can tell you that I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration’s destruction of US global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. And I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family, because I've always found you, Senator Rubio, to be a bipartisan, pragmatic partner, a true believer that the US is stronger when we lead with diplomacy and development." We'd like to ask which Marco Rubio Sen. Rosen has been watching for the past ten years because "bipartisan" and "pragmatic" are not words one would normally use to describe the fanatical neocon, but it is wild to see hardline conservatives throw everything they've ever believed in out the window for a single crumb of the cheeseburger of MAGA power.
“Excuse me, that’s incorrect”: Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan takes DHS Sec. Kristi Noem to task on the definition of habeas corpus
Fascist cosplayer and concentration camp kommandant Kristi Noem was asked to define habeas corpus and responded that it was "the constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country, and suspend their right to —” which Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan quickly informed her was incredibly wrong and also downright evil. We have reached a point where the heads of major government departments either do not know, or more likely simply refuse to acknowledge, the most basic legal tenets of the US Constitution.
Nancy Mace presents blurry nude photo of herself in House hearing as evidence that she was recorded without consent by ex-fiancé and his associates
While we have no doubt that Nancy Mace's ex-fiancé is a real slimeball who did some awful things, it *does* appear that the perpetually attention-seeking Nancy Mace is abusing her status as chair of the House Cybersecurity, Information Technology and Government Innovation Subcommittee to wage a public battle with her former partner. "Nancy Mace made these claims only while standing in Congress, purportedly shielded by legal immunity. If she believed them to be true and there was evidence to support her accusations, she would say them outside the chamber — away from her public role and protections and pursue them through proper legal channels. She has not done so, because she cannot," said her ex in a statement. Mace is currently being sued for defamation by another man she has accused of sexual misconduct.
