The sitting president of the United States of America is basing our nation’s foreign policy on the unfounded conspiracy theories of known white supremacists. But sure, let’s talk about Biden.

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

The arguments against birthright citizenship aren't credible exercises of intellectual exploration; they are anti-constitutional themselves. The purpose of the Citizenship Clause was to end the debate. Entertaining anything other than citizenship by native birth is an attack on the 14th Amendment.

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

If Congress grants the president extreme powers that by law can be used only in emergencies, but the judiciary is forbidden to review whether an emergency actually exists, then what Congress has done is grant the president extreme powers anytime he wants to use them.

If you are scrolling past student abduction stories because you think, "Fine. Doesn't have to do with me." Wake up. Yes, it does. This is dystopian crap - tow the MAGA line on all things, or be retroactivly punished/disappeared.

So the guy who hawks crypto crap on a weekly basis to line his personal pockets accuses PBS, home of Big Bird.and Mr Rogers, as a "scam." SMH.

Don't stop. Keep calling your representatives back to your districts to answer for their actions. They are representing you. Schedule gatherings. Invite them to come speak. If they don't come, note their indifference. They believe they are untouchable and unanswerable to you. Hold them to account.

Question: if the government had shut down like so many seemed to want, would we have gotten the judicial rulings we've seen over the past few days, or would Twitler have been completely unrestrained at this time because courts were shuttered?

I take some measure of comfort when I see that 2/3rds of the country are NOT Maga. Of course, traditional media runs with the opposite headline, but this is the real takeaway. But you'd never know it if you watch network news. 2/3rds. Don't let the tail wag the dog.

I get the anger at Chuck and company who voted to extend. I am angry too. But pointing that anger at anyone other than Trump and MAGA is misdirected. It was this or shut down everything, including the courts, which we need. And that would be like handing your kidnapper a blowtorch.

That's it. Elon should have to spend one month in a minimum wage job, (anonymously, no reaching out to old contacts) and cover the bills on a small 2 bedroom apartment, in, oh I don't know, say, Columbus OH. Include transpo and a credit card balance of 5k. Do that first, then talk.

How come no news media are asking the tough question of how a TASS russian "journalist" was in the oval for that meeting? White House comment is an obvious lie and a shrug, and no one bothers to look into that?
