The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

To fully understand what this administration is doing and their frame of reference, one must steep themselves in conspiracy-theory alt-right Internet culture. In conversations with your Trump-supporting family, it's actually quite advantageous to get any kind of word of convincing in.

Once a bogeyman to the left, Charles Koch and Cato have been on the correct side of history with U.S. trade and immigration policy. In today's GOP, does that make them the principled opposition? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/u...

Lots of officials in this administration need a remedial course in due process. (And of course linking the two people is a disgraceful smear.)

MAGA propagandists now want you to ignore the economic catastrophe Trump intentionally brought on the American people — because “losing money means nothing.” Good luck running with this message in the midterm election.
