Please media. Educate and inform Americans.

It is fairly simple: conservatives the world over are not interested in governance, or policy in general, or anything other than power.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

It's my first father's day without a living bio dad. It's pretty much just like every other father's day I've had. An observation: you are more likely to learn how to be a good dad from a great single mom & an absent dad, than from a dad who is present but shite. Anyway cheers, dads: do your best. 🍻

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

I'm going to assume that anyone who is still saying "...so long as they came here LEGALLY" has never done anything even mildly difficult in their lives, let alone tried to emigrate to another country, let alone the United States in the 21st century

You know what would really revitalize this country? What if we tried getting deeply entrenched in a war in the middle east? Read my op-ed in this week's NYT to find out more about this exciting opportunity

Pro tip: If you're a billionaire, or just a shit leader, making poor people fight each other isn't just fun, it's key to your survival.

Perhaps, in retrospect, it was unwise for courts, Congress, and prosecutors to allow federal criminal law to become so broad and unchecked.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The whole ideology, if you can even call it that, is that the rules don't apply to them. Once you get beyond a certain income threshold, you transcend rule following and become a rulemaker. That's it. It's not any more complicated than that.

🚨 In addition to banning gender affirming medical treatment through Medicaid, Trump's reconciliation bill PROHIBITS health insurance purchased through Obamacare exchanges from offering transition care. Detransition care, though, is specifically protected. CALL YOUR HOUSE REPS!

When you start to doubt yourself, just remember that a random jagoff is in charge of the entire Library of Congress, so it's likely you can be whatever you want. Want to fly a plane? Manage a hedge fund? Be a golden retriever? Just believe in yourself and you can do it

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.
