Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

“Two sources familiar with the matter, including a Trump administration official, tell Rolling Stone that the replies to the recent Musk OPM email have been flooded with pranks and, in the words of the Trump official, “very rude” emails listing fake, vulgar “accomplishments,”…

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

A set of countries hates us; another is bewildered/dismayed/horrified; a third group is laughing at us; and the last group is working the angles to fleece us by flattering the weak-minded senile dope who occasionally shows up at the White House to sign stuff. NOBODY respects us.

Here’s a prop bet that I wouldn’t take the other side of: That within two years there’ll be wars over Taiwan and the Baltics. And that the Trump administration will stand blame the Taiwanese and Baltic states for starting the conflicts against their larger neighbors.

Anyway buffoonish hack Ed Martin probably won’t approve charges against right-wingers. So if you’re in DC, deciding what level of force to use against a Trumpist, consider they can kill or assault or rape you without being charged or with the promise of a pardon, and act accordingly.

A month ago, every Republican voted in favor of Nancy Mace’s “Preventing Domestic Violence by Illegal Aliens” Act. If you are wondering how many of them are opposed to DV generally vs. how many were just in it for the xenophobia, this is an easy test. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...

We’re about to find out if the “deficit hawks” mean what they say. Because the only way to reconcile massive Trump tax cuts with their stated main priority is to either cut spending enough to crush swing district Rs in 2026, or accept Johnson’s phony numbers on DOGE & tariffs.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers. The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough. And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.

I predict that the person who will appear most in Democratic ads across the country in federal, state and local races in the 2026 midterm elections will be Elon Musk, and he is going to elect a lot of Democrats and cost many Republican incumbents their seats.

As a consumer of a huge amount of news, social media, podcasts, and alt media across the spectrum from far right to far left every day, I can tell you that I see Sen Chris Murphy everywhere taking on the Trump Admin, including Fox, & there are some Dem senators I never, ever see.

There is no version of what is happening now in Europe that makes America stronger, safer, more respected in the world. Trump is now and always been Russia First. His quislings like Hegseth and Rubio are traitors, and will be known in history that way.

The official policy of the United States of America is that having values or believing in the rule of law is the equivalent to having a fetish for watching your wife get nailed by a stranger. That’s Trumpism.
