So I've been saying for some time now that Elon Musk is a Bond villain come to life. It turns out that he's actually Goldfinger.

Trump dubbing himself King isn't the issue. It's bad, but it's meant to serve as a distraction while he and Musk tear down our nation's institutions recklessly with no concerns about whether the structure will hold. Focus on THAT. Fight THAT. Resist THAT. Let the child have his childish moment.

It's always mixed emotions when one of the worst people you know calls out who is possibly the worst person you know.

Message to the GOP Congressional Members: History doesn't look kindly upon bootlickers. It will only take a few of you to be able to buck Trump. It may cost you your jobs...sadly, that's the nature of politics these days...but you may very well help save the country.

The President dubbing a member of the media as "the enemy of the people" may as well have been copied word-for-word from the Guidebook to Authoritarianism.

You will never reach MAGA by pointing out the historical parallels of the actions by Trump and Musk. Only when they are directly harmed by them (and maybe not even then) will they take notice of what's going on.

The time to manifest your outrage isn't the midterm elections in 2026. It's now. Start protesting. Start boycotting. Run for local offices. Make the people that are allowing this to happen very uncomfortable.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

I don't expect Trump supporters to see this, but look. Not only has he deemed himself to be a Messiah of sorts, he's also declared himself to be above the law. The tyranny that you were so fearful during the Obama and Biden years? You just voted it in, and he's incapable of stopping himself.

"You see, Timmy, it all started with all of those little American flag pins that politicians started wearing after 9/11. Now we have people wearing full suits decked out in red white and blue regalia and we're renaming massive bodies of water after ourselves because no ego-stroking is too much."

It's taken a little more than 55 years, but we've gone from "We just put a man on the moon!" to "Vaccines contain microchips that will turn you gay."

The course of history can turn on a dime and dramatically so. Gore losing in 2000 and Clinton falling short in 2016 come immediately to mind during the span of my lifetime. But let's not worry about what could have been. Let's focus on what we can do now.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Sassoon indicates she was ready to hit Eric Adams with an obstruction conspiracy charge "We have proposed a superseding indictment that would add an obstruction conspiracy count based on evidence that Adams destroyed and instructed others to destroy evidence and provide false information to the FBI"

Who would have thought that all it would have taken for American to completely lose its mind was to elect a Black man as President?
