As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

GOP Members of Congress fall into line on whatever Trump asks. Partly because they agree but also because they fear a MAGA terrorist will kill them and their families for opposing Trump. That is how fascist movements keep discipline.

Linden: Can you imagine if Donald Trump had run on no tax on tips—but only for a few years, only up to a certain amount, and only in a particular set of industries? That’s not a particularly compelling slogan—but that’s what the policy is.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

ICE is going to elementary school graduation ceremonies to abduct people. You don't get lower than that. It not only destroys the day for the families in question, it destroys the experience for all the other people and terrorizes the children.

Not only are parks profitable, they inject billions to local economies and welcome 300+ million people a year. This is yet more wealth extraction to private interests not just from all of us as a nation but hundreds of communities and small businesses.

Public employees who accept $75,000 in bribes do not deserve Presidential pardons. Unfortunately, Donald Trump thinks otherwise. This full unconditional pardon is a slap in the face to every American taxpayer and every person working hard to make an honest living. starexponent.com/news/local/a...

It used to be that presidents wanted to avoid even the appearance of pay-to-play pardons. When Bush 43 learned that the father of a man he had just pardoned had given $28,500 to the RNC and $2,300 to McCain, he had aides retrieve the pardon grant before it could take effect.
