While Trump deliberately escalates tensions in vulnerable communities, don't forget: He's also directing the Republican Congress to pass a budget that would abandon the very people who most need support. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/06/h...

Being uninvited from the White House caused Rand Paul to lose a lot of the respect he had for Donald Trump that Trump’s two impeachments, insurrection, four criminal indictments, criminal conviction, and sexual abuse damages verdict did not cause him to lose. Got it.

I swear I am not making this up. Tonight Trump will go to the Kennedy Center to see “Les Miserables,” a play about a mass uprising against a tyrannical king. I hereby retire from satire.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Bullies only understand strength. That’s why I’ve been on the offense against Trump. Proud to see @gavinnewsom.bsky.social doing the same. We don’t back down.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but the Speaker of the House calling for the Governor of California to be tortured seems like it should be a pretty big story.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

BREAKING: A fourth court has found that President Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was illegal, seeking to stretch the meaning of "invasion" beyond its plain meaning. The ruling blocks AEA deportations in the Western District of Texas. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Today RFK Jr. fired every member of ACIP, the CDC committee that makes vaccine recommendations. Children will die. This is not ok. Lindsey Graham enabled this.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

I went to Paramount yesterday and this is what I saw. They want to terrorize us into silence before the general public realizes who the actual bad guys are.

Terry Moran reported what he saw as the truth. In my opinion, this isn’t an “opinion” as much as a reporter who has observed an individual and reported on what he has observed. This is the kind of information. American needs to know.

I'm sorry, but it's pretty hard to take the conservative outrage over this Terry Moran post seriously when reporters & hosts on Fox, Newsmax, OANN, etc. constantly say wildly partisan things—and people have just kind of accepted they’re held to a lower standard.

Trump's threat to cancel Musk's federal contracts underscored his willingness to use government power to punish enemies. In the old days, that might have been cause for a corruption investigation. In the modern era, it’s just another Thursday. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

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.
