Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

Exactly what the vile, lawless Trump squad didn’t want to see. Kudos to the senator from Maryland.

We told you that antiporn "age-verification" laws wouldn't stop at Pornhub. Texas legislators are now proposing that conservative parents can now sue bookstores, movie theaters, LGBTQ events, health fairs, art galleries, museums for exposing their children to material "harmful to minors"

Fed Chair Powell: "cutting back on scientific research may have implications for economic growth, for productivity, for health, for all kinds of things, but those are very difficult to estimate in real time."

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Under-appreciated problem. Many Repubs have never served in state legislatures, nor were they Hill staffers, so they’ve got zero experience trying to accomplish something. They’re not pissed Trump is taking Congress’ power, because they’ve never exercised it.

For the record, trillions were lost, panic gripped Wall Street., Main Street and the globe and all we got were phone calls. And we’re left with high tariffs that are still forecast to reduce growth and boost inflation. Doesn’t seem much like victory to me.

So much of the US Constitution is designed to keep an autocrat from amassing too much power. At this moment, the constitution is failing. Or perhaps our elected representatives are failing the constitution. When a single person can wreck the economy by fiat, something is badly broken.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

It’s not complex. People can see with their eyes. He’s repellent to voters due to a toxic combination of exhausting amounts of cringe (see cheese head hat), desperate thirstiness (that fatal “hey, look at me mommy” vibe) and irritating arrogance (he’s not even from this school)

Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges. There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.

To recap: Trump admin is firing Social Security employees; requiring beneficiaries to visit field offices in person instead of calling; and then saying any beneficiaries whose checks don’t come, and who therefore can’t pay the rent, must be fraudsters. Insane. And not what Americans voted for.
