Trump heard transgenic mice and thought “transgender” mice. Just like he heard immigrants were seeking asylum and thought it meant they were coming from insane asylums.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies. So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed? For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

I dunno, but this whole Ashley St. Clair thing seems like it's designed to take the heat off Elon Musk and DOGE for leaking classified information, getting their grubby hands on everyone's data, and generally fcking up the country.

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Halting spending approved by Congress. Firing independent inspectors general from federal agencies. Replacing civil servants with loyalists. All plans pulled from Project 2025. Remember when Trump denied knowing about the playbook and the media gave him a pass?
