No badges.
No uniforms.
No nametags.

No reason to believe they are law enforcement.

What evidence does Speaker Johnson have to support his claim of 1.4 million undocumented immigrants on Medicaid?

Our economy is consumer driven. Rich people are already spending all they want to spend. Corporations don’t hire people or expand unless they have demand for additional product. So giving them money does nothing for the economy.

Funny how Senator Harley doesn’t bring the same analysis to crime stats by race.
He doesn’t see the data and conclude that the police are targeting Black folks.

I will write this slowly:
Congress writes the laws, and the President implements them-as written.
Budgets and appropriations are laws. The president has a duty to faithfully execute them.
It would be against the law for the president to refuse to spend as Congress directed.

What are we doing?
We are surrendering the future as the administration leads us into the past.

She means “What President Trump thinks and says at that moment”.
It is subject to change without notice - or clear reason.

People whose reality is skewed by their politics can't imagine that other people could see reality without a political bias.

It's bad enough that she didn't know what she was voting for, but it's worse that, despite her vow here, will all know that she will vote for it again with this AI regulation prohibition in it.

Zionists who fail to condemn the genocide in Gaza lack the moral high ground to call out anti-Semites.

Why do these people hate capitalism? In a free, capitalist society we should all be allowed to sell our property to the highest bidder.

C'mon.
It's not like he's some kind of expert who has studied um... weather science stuff.
I mean, it's not like that's common knowledge. In fact, are you sure it's true?
Next thing you're going to say that there's a wildfire season or a tornado season. Ha ha ha!

Let's say this slowly to help MAGA Republicans understand.
Congress makes the laws.
The President implements the law.
Budgets and appropriations are laws passed by Congress.
The President has a duty to faithfully execute them.
He cannot legally choose not to spend money allocated by Congress.

He can personally pay for private health insurance for those who lose their coverage as a result of the bill.

So... Mr. Vought is a complete failure.

Sure, sure, they were Trump-appointed judges, but, according to Stephen Miller, they were crazy communists and only got appointed by Donald Trump because the Federalist Society did a shitty job of vetting them.

Funny how Republicans rant about the finite capacity of schools at the university level (where the capacities are more flexible) but ignore the finite capacity of K-12 schools when selling "School Choice".

Will we also see Donald Trump's tax returns, the healthcare plan, and everything else that was promised in two weeks?

They could just trust librarians and teachers to make good decisions based on their knowledge and judgement as professionals. You know, as states, school districts, and library districts have always done.
Nope. They don't trust librarians and teachers, who are disproportionately liberal.

Is this how they are going to pretend that they have made deals?
They aren't making any deals and they won't make any. This trade war is hurting the U.S. more than anyone else. The longer other countries wait, the more desperate the U.S. will become, the better deal they will get.

I know that Secretary Lutnick is new to business and unfamiliar with the nomenclature of commerce, but when one side unilaterally sets terms without any agreement from the other side, that's not a "deal".

Providing people with due process is also part of enforcing the law, so, no. The president is not enforcing the law and Secretary Noem can STFU.

Not the attorneys - Secretary Noem, Tom Holman, and Secretary Rubio.

Put Secretary Noem in jail for contempt.

The Courts have the authority to appoint anyone they want as an officer of the Court. They don't have to rely on the U.S. Marshalls.
comment in response to

There is a simple solution. Secretary Noem needs to sit in a jail cell on contempt charges until all of the unlawful deportees are returned to the U.S.
If it takes more than a week, then Tom Holman is jailed as well.
If it takes another week then Secretary Rubio shares a cell with Mr. Holman.

I think you're wrong about this.
The Trump Administration has testified in Court and before Congress that Elon Musk is not associated with DOGE.

Criminals like Donald Trump?
Criminals like J6 rioters?
Criminals like Rick Scott?
Criminals like Steve Bannon?

That figure "413% increase" leaves a lot of questions unanswered.
Increase from when to when? Was the start point during COVID?
What is the raw number? Has it gone from 1 to 4?
What counts as an assault? Did they all result in an injury?
Is it happening more, or are they just reporting it more?

Article I, Section 8 clearly grants the power to set tariffs to the Congress: "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises"
The President has no such authority.

Seeing as the deal was in progress when he showed up, just how, exactly, can you say that Donald Trump helped to broker it?

The United States was at war for every single day of the Trump administration.
Have MAGA already forgotten Afghanistan?

They have no deals.
There will not be any deals.
No one wants to deal.
The trade war is damaging the U.S. more than anyone else. The longer it continues, the more desperate the U.S. will become and the better the deals will be for other countries.
No one is dealing now. Why should they?

The First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law..." so unless it's the law cracking down on your free speech, it's not a First Amendment violation.

I think we would get much better compliance from the Trump administration if Secretary Noem sat in jail on contempt charges until Mr. Garcia is returned to the U.S.
If it take more than a week they can lock up Mr. Homan, too.
If another week passes, Secretary Rubio can join them.

Mr. Musk, a psychopath, forgot that most people are not psychopaths and consider the effect of decisions on others, not just themselves.
He presumed that everyone would, like him, prefer to save $1.50 even if it meant thousands of children would die. He thought he was acting the hero.
