The most important thing to know about the Bezos/Sanchez wedding is that Trump’s Big Ugly Bill would explode the debt, exacerbate economic inequality, and cause cruel and grievous harm to the most vulnerable Americans and we really should be talking about all of that a whole lot more.

Trump says he hates the “biased” press, but let’s be real—he decides who’s biased based on whether they’re nice to him that day. One day you’re “not so bad,” the next he hates you again. That’s not accountability, that’s ego.

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

Strategic debasement is a lousy strategy. Placating Trump never works. He is never loyal. He always demands more. He is erratic. But his deepest impulses are dangerous to NATO, the US and the West. Sidestepping that fact sidesteps the biggest threat NATO faces.

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism. It's a lie.

ICE handcuff U.S. citizen—arrest him in the middle of having a severe seizure. "Tell them I'm a U.S. citizen," he begs the man recording video—gasping for air. Agents then roll him over onto his back—this is very dangerous! This increases risk of suffocation—you should place them on their side.

"I have no doubt that Netanyahu played Trump against his own narcissism to achieve this result. Trump wanted to be seen as the man in charge and he was masterfully manipulated. His arrogance and need to be seen as powerful outweighed any real attempts at diplomacy."

Trump gave Iran permission to fire missiles at U.S. troops at our base in Qatar. You’ll recall the last time this happened and our troops suffered TBI, Trump downplayed the serious injuries as “headaches.” www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/ju...

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.
