"Trump, a former game-show host and forever a celebrity-gossip monger, is throwing American due process straight into the gore-caked wood chipper from the movie Fargo, and he’s doing it with the enthusiastic support of a shrinking but still sizable share of the nation’s electorate."

Donald Trump promised to end inflation and lower costs on his first day in office. Instead, Americans are paying a higher price on groceries, cars, utilities, and housing — with the looming fear of a recession. He's crashing our economy and leaving you with the bill.

This is the current cover of the Economist. The American eagle, once a symbol of strength and freedom is tattered and sick. Our economy is no longer the “envy of the world”

DOGE is an insult to all Americans. Millions of people have been impacted by Elon Musk’s blind assault on our government. They have lost their livelihoods, security, and healthcare. And for what? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

NEW: The Supreme Court directs the Trump administration to "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from a prison in El Salvador, where he was sent due to an "administrative error." It also somewhat narrows the district court's order. No noted dissents. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

small but significant thing I've noticed on Fox Business on days when market is tanking & Trump is president - they only show the Nasdaq ticker in the corner, not the Dow, to give people the impression the market isn't down as much as it actually is (the Dow is currently down more than 1,100 points)

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.
