BREAKING: Pining for 1893, Trump doubles U.S. steel tariffs, which will "benefit" the 140,000 people still employed in the U.S. steel industry. Unfortunately, those same 140,000 have to shop at Walmart and Amazon like the rest of us.

Obviously, this is just a misunderstanding about the meaning of "conservative judge." For Leonard Leo, the phrase means "conservative judge." For Trump, it means "kisses my ass," and to his disappointment, they're not always the same thing.

It'll be hilarious if my retirement accounts surge under Trump specifically because the courts restrain him from being Trump.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

After standing up American and Ukrainian representatives last week, with today's call, Putin has completed making Trump his bitch. Trump desperately wants a Nobel Peace Price, and that will never happen, and now Putin has made Trump entirely irrelevant.

While Gavin Newsom, governor of a state Trump lost by 20 points, is throwing marginalized communities under the bus to pander for an ill-fated presidential bid, Andy Beshear, governor of a state Trump won by 30 points, is going out of his way to defend marginalized communities as a moral imperative.

Just a reminder that Stephen Miller is not a lawyer. He's an apparatchik whose opinion on legal matters is persuasive as guano and as binding as a Denny's menu.

While the HC GOP seems more focused on purging so-called “RINOs” and catering to the fragile ego of one man, Democrats are focused on something bigger: ideas, solutions, and progress. We’re not here for blind loyalty—we’re here for real leadership, real conversations, and real change.
