BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

My Saturday PSA: Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore. Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office. Stop talking about Joe Biden. Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.

The Trump family's crypto business just got a huge $2 billion investment from a UAE government-backed firm. We are witnessing a foreign government effectively bribe the President of the United States — right out in the open. Hello?

Jimmy Carter had to put his peanut farm into a blind trust

A top White House official says Jews "deny the existence of objective truth" but tell me more about college campus protests being antisemitic

No criminal charges were filed against Mohsen Mahdawi And apparently the Trump administration has asserted no legal basis to deport him-other than Marco Rubio’s say so If this doesn’t scare you Remember-they’re trying to revoke birthright citizenship So they can deport ANYONE they wish

NEW: The Energy Dept. instructed employees to gather information on business dealings between government contractors and law firms targeted by Trump’s executive orders—a directive that likely ran afoul of court orders barring portions of the executive orders. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/ener...

According to IRS estimates, the internal sabotage by DOGE has already cost the U.S. Treasury more than $500 billion in revenues that otherwise would have been raised by April 15th. But it doesn’t stop there. DOGE is also in the process of closing down the Tax Division at the Department of Justice.

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

The cowards at Paul Weiss own this most of all, but they are joined in disgrace by Milbank, Willkie Farr, and Skadden. Trump suggested there are other firms that have agreed to debase themselves, but did not reveal the names.

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID. This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

Cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated a deal to stop Iran's nuclear program. Trump, having inherited a vastly improved situation with Iran, deliberately tore it up. The fact that they are now on the verge of having nuclear weapons is entirely his fault.

If you ever wondered how fascism takes hold without tanks in the streets this is part of it:

A Pentagon-wide advisory that went out one week ago warns against using the Signal, the messaging app, even for unclassified information.

Marco Rubio should be sent to The Hague for this.

Thanks to President Trump, we are finally cleansing our country of … kidney-transplant specialists who “fly through the night to pick up donated organs before performing emergency surgery” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

If court orders are being ignored, we’re having that constitutional crisis that everyone’s been worried about. We’re there, folks.

The headline really sanitizes what they did to this guy. Getting stripped naked, inadequate food, sleep deprivation sounds more like war on terror ear rendition than "interrogation."

The co-president says speaking against Putin’s interests is akin to treason. So I guess that’s where we are now.

“Launch Musk to Mars” and “Democracy Dies with DOGE”. #3E #endoligarchy #teslatakeover #teslatakedown

Trump is describing a policy in which the US government will take billions of taxpayer dollars and hand them directly to his billionaire allies in exchange for fake digital tokens. Stealing our money and paying it to his friends in exchange for nothing.

NEW: Voice of America is in upheaval. Journalists are facing HR investigations for comments critical of Trump. One of VOA's highest-profile journalists was put on leave today after a Trump aide called him a traitor. And the White House bureau chief was reassigned. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/b...

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix* The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc… They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.

Russia is eyeing talks with the Trump administration about re-establishing a significant diplomatic presence in the US as an opening to rebuild its spy network in the West, current and former US officials say

Good God, this is so embarrassing. If you weren’t worried enough about flying,apparently, Elon Musk is in charge of air traffic controllers now, but he doesn’t even know the mandatory retirement age is 56.

You don’t have to work in politics to know where this is going. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

We need to see lawsuits first thing Monday morning. Call your state AGs if you live in a blue state.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Trump spent his day on his golf course; last night was dinner w/GOP at Mar a Lago. Tomorrow he attends the Super Bowl making a tight security situation worse. He’s not a POTUS, he’s a grifter & predator. Musk is prob in DC tho, dismantling our federal agencies.

Instead of cutting costs for working families, Donald Trump is slashing the federal investments that fund their lifesaving care, fuel their local economy, and lower their health care costs. It’s cruel, short-sighted, and will cost jobs and devastate millions of families.

'Really bad, really quick': Firefighters said to be panicked as Trump policy kneecaps them: President Donald Trump's decision to freeze federal hiring is impacting life-saving firefighting efforts, according to a new report. CNN over the weekend reported that Trump's hiring freeze "comes at a…

🚨 NEW: Trump and the White House have gone silent on deportation numbers. Why? Because they’re embarrassingly low. Despite the tough talk, Trump is flopping—just 5,700 deportations in two weeks, half Biden’s pace last year. Now, he’s reportedly fuming as his mass deportation promise collapses.

As you watch Republicans in Congress defend every illegal action by Trump please understand they would do the same if Trump sent the US military out to occupy Blue cities and deprive us of civil liberties. Their loyalty is to Trump over the US Constitution. In my view they are treasonous.
