There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

another thing every other president in history would be impeached for just happened

This guy is too much of a chicken to stand up publicly to a guy who he privately described as a "moral disaster" or to defend his own wife's honor from a punk who works for Elon and said we should "normalize Indian hate". Obsequious, snivelling, Vancely cowardice is the opposite of masculinity.

This is what I was talking about last week.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

The first entry @NYTimes checks on DOGE's "receipts" is off by $8bn, NYT finds, accounting for half the alleged savings. DOGE noticed the issue, NYT suggests, but hid it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

I can only imagine the reaction from these same quarters if George Soros, who also "doesn't need your money," would have been given 1/1000 of Musk's power under a Democratic president.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Important read.

This is fascism.

New Column: This Eric Adams situation. Insane. Times five. newrepublic.com/post/191552/... via @newrepublic.com

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics... All of this. All. Of. It.

This. Another sad showing from the legacy media.

Sen Jerry Moran R from KS is very against dismantling USAID “Food stability is essential to political stability, and our food aid programs help feed the hungry, bolster our national security and provide an important market for our farmers, especially when commodity prices are low.”

An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned. Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.

Context for those (like DJT) who don't know geog: This is like saying you opened a levee on the Mississippi and water "poured down" into AZ or NV There are MOUNTAINS IN THE WAY. The water doesn't "flow down" from Miss to AZ, or Canada/PNW/Central Valley to LA. He is thinking of "up" on a map.

The $1.3 billion of increased Canadian border security Trudeau promised Trump today to get tariffs postponed? Trudeau already announced the spending back in December:

How odd that when Trump announced his “deal” with Mexico he failed to mention that the US committed to halting the flow of assault weapons from the US to Mexico. Why did he leave that out?

There are USAID project reports that are so classified that they don't even show up in official lists of USAID publications, because they contain details about covert operations or information that puts aid workers at risk of physical harm (ie women in countries where women have no rights)

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

This would be funny if this wasn't so drop-dead serious. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) says kids should get jobs instead of receiving free school lunches. The school lunch program serves grades preK-12, meaning it includes children as young as 4. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

PLEASE NOTE: Bribes are now called "settlements."

Great trip to Wisconsin. Stay motivated y'all! I am! apnews.com/article/wisc...

Truth: Simply being present in the U.S. without legal authorization is not a crime: it is a civil offense, not subject to criminal punishment. False: Leavitt's statement below that everyone who broke immigration laws is a criminal. Now let's ask if Trump-Homan policies are based on same falsehood

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The Trump administration instructed organizations in other countries to stop disbursing HIV medications purchased with U.S. aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained and are sitting in local clinics.

Thank you Jack Smith You didn't have to but you did. Thank you www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

A serious constitutional crisis is taking place in North Carolina where Republicans are trying to steal a state Supreme Court election by disenfranchising 60,000 voters AFTER the count and recount have showed the Democrat won. Please watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5yW...

This why people need to support good journalism. A heavy lift but so important.

NEW: “A company owned by two of Donald Trump’s top mega-donors has routinely brought dozens of its workers from Mexico to staff its warehouses in Wisconsin and other locations even though they do not appear to have permission to work in the US.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Trump’s Pentagon pick Hegseth wrote of US military taking sides in ‘civil war’

The NYT printed this in its op-ed section this AM: "A central pillar of American democracy is that no man is above the law. But Mr. Trump isn’t an ordinary man." Wrong. America doesn't have a king or a divine ruler. We elect an ORDINARY MAN as president.

1. It's impossible to control whether GOP Senators rubberstamp Trump's nominees But it is possible to make more people aware of exactly who Trump is trying to install in these powerful positions Here are 13 things everyone should know about Pete Hegseth, Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense 🧵

Now it’s all starting to make sense
