Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

If there's a hell, it will be filled with people who claimed faith in Jesus, while trying to strip the sick of care, the terrified of refuge, and the vulnerable of protection, and reveled in it as if it were a righteous victory. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/republican...

John Roberts' atrocious opinion inventing criminal immunity for presidents paved Trump's path to a second term. Now Trump has embraced Roberts' dark vision of the presidency as corrupt, self-serving, and all-powerful—and it threatens to render the Supreme Court irrelevant. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

Van Hollen: "Trump's visit to the Middle East- my view is the narrative here was selling out US national interests for the private gain of his business. He essentially gave away the crown jewels of US AI and semiconductor tech to the gulf in exchange for a $2b investment in his stablecoin venture"

DEMOCRATS! Throwing Joe Biden under the bus won’t help you. •It won’t win over the base. •It won’t boost your approval. •It won’t bring back voters who sat out 2024. •It won’t fix 2026. It makes you look petty while Trump is burning it all down. REPAIR AND BUILD THE PARTY!

He threatened Putin with sanctions if he didn’t sign the ceasefire. He didn’t, Trump did nothing. Then he threatened sanctions again and Putin blew off peace talks in Turkey. And all this weak loser has to say about it is this complete load of bullshit. Trump is Putin’s bitch.

Why add the “with no strings attached”? Why? The NYT can’t possibly know whether or what strings are attached and it defies logic that there aren’t any. Stop this @nytimes.com. It is monstrously irresponsible. A “charm offensive” is deployed to soften someone up to give you or do what you want.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

If Osama bin Laden were still alive, he could promise a Trump Tower in Afghanistan — and Trump would lift the terrorism designation for al Qaeda and order all 9/11 memorials be destroyed for being “woke.” THAT is how craven Trump is. It’s not America First. It’s Trump First.
