On the left…the posture of a fat slob. On the right…the posture of integrity and strength.

Peace deals: 0 Trade deals: 0

Trump's incompetence is everywhere.  His regime can’t keep military secrets. It can’t maintain financial stability. It can’t protect children from measles. While we resist Trump’s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Novels by definition are FICTION. If marriage made everyone happy the divorce rates would be lower.

A lot of very distinguished people who swore an oath to preserve the Constitution are watching it get cut to pieces.

I just find it hilarious how the issues that are “distractions” are coincidentally things people who are safe don’t want to address.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Live your life so that when you visit the Pope and he dies the next day everyone’s first thought isn’t “bet he killed him”

Pope Francis really survived double pneumonia and acute respiratory distress only to meet with JD Vance and said “yeah, fuck this” RIP, sir.

Please let JD Vance killed the Pope become the new JD Vance fucked a couch.

Dude out there just straight-up quoting Jafar.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Who would’ve thought we’d be living these books out? We are in perilous times.

JUST IN: Lawyers for Venezuelan nationals say they’re being loaded onto buses this hour in anticipation of a new wave of Alien Enemies Act deportations, w less than 24 hours notice. They’re asking Judge Boasberg for an immediate restraining order requiring 30 days notice.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Source at VA tells me an emergency data request went out demanding info any on relationships the 2nd largest Fed department and largest healthcare system in the US has with Harvard. We know there are significant research connections. This won't hurt Harvard. It will kill veterans. They don't care.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

“We have a system of checks and balances. A tyrant can always be stopped as long as congress has a spine.” Congress:

Columbia is proof that appeasement doesn’t work. Harvard is doing the right thing.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

We said, “Never again!” The question is…did we really mean it, or were we just puffing up our chests to sound like people we wanted to believe we were, but knew deep inside…we…were not? The test that will reveal the answer is before us.

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable. And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

"This isn't a battle of your choosing. But it is the battle for which you will always be judged. This is the moment you must show the world and history which side of the Edmund Pettis Bridge you are standing on." - Stuart Stevens

Trump is so stupid he doesn't realize that the US government taking in money from tariffs doesn't help US citizens who have to pay for those tariffs with increased costs of goods, which are passed on to them. And he is a shameless liar: Inflation will not go down.

NEWS: Hong Kong has suspended postal service for all goods being sent to the United States, saying the U.S is "unreasonable, bullying, and imposing tariffs abusively."

DOGE claims to have found billions of dollars in fraud yet not one criminal charge has been filed against anyone, just mass firings of federal employees. Which means they’ve been wasting millions of dollars finding absolutely nothing on purpose. The fraud is DOGE.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

They want to annex Canada and Greenland after running on avoiding World War 3.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

The real story isn’t the accidental journalist in the group chat; it’s that Trump’s inner circle is openly scheming against Europe and assisting Putin with his desired takeover of European countries. That’s the headline. That's the real story.
