When it comes to the United States, the enemy is not at the gate, it was welcomed with a red carpet, elevated to the highest positions of power, and now dictates policy from within. When the people you elected no longer represent you or the highest courts fail to protect you, who do they work for?

In addition to kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and adding trillions to the deficit, other parts of Trump’s Budget are also harmful and unpopular. We need to make sure more people learn about them.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

With the Supreme Court now handing DOGE access to Social Security data, it’s becoming undeniable, the Trump administration is building the “deep state” themselves. Don’t get distracted by the noise.

When the worst person you know gets bitten by a snake, you don’t try to befriend the snake. You observe said biting from a considerable distance and enjoy the schadenfreude.

Let's be fair here. Just because Elon says that Trump is in the Epstein files and just because there are dozens of photos with Trump & Epstein together and just because Trump called Epstein a "terrific guy" who "likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side"...

Those on the left rushing to suck up for cash, Elon Musk, is not your friend. He will never be your friend. He is trying to put the shit back in the horse and prevent his companies from collapsing. Enemy of my enemy doesn't apply here.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen. It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.
