Convinced his job is to make Congress even more hesitant to dump Trump.

New Column: This planned meme coin dinner is in itself a high crime and misdemeanor. Where's the outrage? newrepublic.com/post/194420/... via @newrepublic.com

Every single day this unqualified trainwreck stays in this job is another day our troops are at greater risk. Hegseth needs to be fired before these security breaches get someone killed. apnews.com/article/hegs...

BREAKING: The Trump Administration has deported three more U.S. citizen children, Virginia Giuffre has passed away after taking her own life, Pete Hegseth grows more erratic, and Democrats lead Republicans. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

The fact of the matter is that the American conservative movement has backed a president now harassing students and destroying academic work on ideological grounds. This entire debate should be suspended until the conservative movement repudiates him. There is nothing to discuss until then.

Funny how the paperwork only matters when it’s a woman or minority voter.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Correct.

Suprise, suprise....

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

This has to be the most brazenly corrupt act in the history of the American presidency. Trump is holding a contest to see who can pay him the most money and the prize is direct access to the president It is literal pay-to-play

Registries for pregnant women and children with autism, but no registry for guns?

"The proposal that Trump, Vice President J. D. Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are pushing is not a framework for peace, but a rich and bloody reward to Moscow for three years of aggression and war crimes." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

OK, I'm not exactly a fan of this woman, but I agree with her post 💯 💙💛👍

Remember when the economy was booming, stocks were soaring, we weren’t in a trade war with China, we didn’t have a day drunk for a Sec Def, a couch fucking Cabbage Patch doll for a VP or an evil, incurious idiot for a president & we still funded cancer research? Yeah, that was like three months ago.

“We had more money than anybody.” “We” meaning the robber barons who amassed fortunes, encouraged the largest influx of immigrants and paid meager wages with no benefits; thus beginning the huge disparity between the wealthy industrialists and the working class.

Trump: "In 1913 they traded to the income tax system. We used to be all tariff. And we had no income tax and we had the wealthiest country we ever had proportionately from about 1870 to 1913. We had more money than anybody."

Turns out ‘Make America Great Again’ had a four-month expiration date

For Fucks Sake

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

Kevin Kiley refuses to talk to his constituents about their health care and social security. Because he WON’T protect it. So, I went to Folsom and talked to them.

Always keep watch. Eventually the aliens will slip up and do something unhuman a little too nonchalantly. Then we'll know. 👽🛸 Yesterday, the lifeform we call "Elly De La Cruz" forgot himself and took flight to catch this baseball. 😮

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.  Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.  But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

“I’ve never missed a court appearance. I’ve never missed an appointment with immigration or ICE,” Daboin Rall said. “The truth is: I don’t have any criminal record. I’ve done everything correctly according to the rules of this country.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

I'm about to do an interview with local media on HJR 73. It is the bill to put an abortion ban back on the ballot after we just overturned our abortion ban back in November. Friends, Republicans are going to try to put lies on the ballot summary and trick our neighbors into voting for another ban.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.
