So is American major media just going to pretend that Donald Trump and his venal band of brigands didn't just spend the last five years of this space-time continuum daily accusing Joe Biden of taking bribes from a foreign country—something Trump just PUBLICLY did to the tune of $400 MILLION DOLLARS?
The Star Wars prequels are a trilogy about how an unfair and severe galactic tariff policy causes instability in the democratic political order that ultimately enables an authoritarian to seize power under the guise of restoring peace and prosperity to the republic. Why does this sound familiar….
Anyone Trump-aligned or Trump-adjacent is toxic to the rest of the world. We are the only country with enough people that think the malignant narcissist, criminal, and moronic two-bit con man should be in charge. It’s the same reason why televangelists have always thrived here.
Pritzker: And we have a president who claims to love America but hates our military so much that can’t be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen U.S. soldiers.
Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”
Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."
My eldest daughter Claudia once asked me why there isn’t a provision that says that convicted felons can’t be president and this was *exactly* my answer
NEW: Pete Hegseth’s Signal chats about pending strikes in Yemen included information from a top general’s secure messages to him, three U.S. officials with direct knowledge tell NBC News.
The war in Ukraine will be over in 24 hours.
So will Gaza.
There will be 90 trade deals in 90 days.
No tax on tips.
No tax on overtime.
Interest on car loans will be tax deductible.
No tax on Social Security.
He will balance the budget.
Tariffs will pay for everything.
"This is a pattern. If one law firm capitulates, Trump goes after more. If one university, tech billionaire, media company capitulates, he goes after more. If we don't fight him now, when he’s only gone after one legal resident, then we can't act surprised when he ultimately goes after Americans."
Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."
This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
Last term he set a record for the worst ever net approval rating among independents at -16.
He just broke his own record polling at -22.
Congrats to those who voted for him because he was gonna *fix* the not broken economy.
How your savings? How's that working out for ya?
Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.
Reminder that when you see an obvious troll/bot/chud in my comments, just let them be. They want you to engage. Don't. I'll be along to expunge them in due time. In the meantime, let them marinate in their own shittiness, don't volunteer to scoop it up and baste yourself with it.

Trump has taken the most powerful country in the world, with the greatest alliances, and the strongest economy, and flushed it down the toilet based on his understanding of politics in 1984 and trade deficits.
The greatest self shot to the nut sack in history
AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.
Trump loves him some Hungary, a failing, small state in E Europe. It can foretell our future failure, if we allow it. My latest in reply:

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C.
We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.
AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?
Rep. Maxwell Frost: “They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.”
@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"
Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing.
Emergency powers? He’s abusing them.
And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve.
The math ain’t mathing.
Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory
They are trying…and making headway toward their goal every day…to squeeze every last breath out of the lungs of democracy. At that point, they plan to stomp on the lifeless corpse. You already know that, but sometimes it helps to see it in print. If we let it slip away…it’s gone forever.
