The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world. Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior? These people are unfit to govern.

Imagine if Joe Biden, newly in office, had launched a company with Hunter Biden and used his social media to recruit financial backers. Then promised the most generous among them would earn an invitation to a private dinner with him ... Trump just did that.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

20 years ago, Texas studied immigration and found that undocumented immigrants' economic contributions outweighed their costs. Now, for the first time since, Texas may conduct a similar study — but only focus on the costs.

At some point, Pete Hegseth is going to lose his job. And when that occurs, Donald Trump should get absolutely no credit for it. He knew this would happen the moment he nominated Hegseth. Donald Trump owns every bit of this mess.

The only thing that’s going to get you fired from a Trump 2.0 cabinet is disloyalty to Trump. No act of incompetence, mismanagement, criminality, or malfeasance can get you fired. As long as you are loyal to Trump, you can pretty much do anything.

It isn't just the stock markets collapsing. Trump is also collapsing the U.S. Dollar. That is a very, very bad sign. Not only will American consumers be paying for tariffs in higher costs, but the purchasing power of their money will not stretch as far. #TrumpEconomy www.cnbc.com/2025/04/21/u...

El-Sayed: And Trump’s one trick is that he knows how to take that pain and weaponize the cynicism—to use it to put people like himself and Elon Musk in power. And then, they just make things worse, because they never really had any solutions to begin with.
