The only people worse than Trump are his lackeys and apologists.

The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didn’t say a word about it.

Americans are going to think of Joe Biden the way post 1918 Viennese thought of Franz Josef: "maybe he was a little confused in his final days, but at least we could then have real cream in our coffee."

Trump loves taking credit for other people's achievements, but he will soon be shirking responsibility for the US recession he caused all on his very own.

Antarctica Tariffs Announced It's about time those deadbeat slackers started pulling their weight... 🐧 💰 🐧 💰 🐧 💰

These are the tariffs of the Republican Party-not just Trump. Congress voted to give Trump the authority to do this, & can vote to repeal them at any time. But they won’t, even though many know this will be a disaster, because they are afraid of Trump. So now they own this mess.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Because I was raised politically by institutional conservative organizations, I’m still, even now, amazed and disoriented by how thoroughly they’ve abandoned everything they once stood for. The intellectual dishonesty is breathtaking.

President Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security. It was … two days ago.

Utterly incompetent people. And look at the end of this text thread between them, they were gonna try to exact a financial cost from our allies if they did this. Like with Ukraine, the U.S. will only help if we can make money off it.

Just so shockingly out of touch with what has happened in this country since 2016, with not much interest in learning. Get outside of NYC/DC once in a while - maybe that will help.

Maybe it's just the algoritm, but at this moment, the only people I see standing up for democracy are excommunicated Republicans and a few, mostly female, democrates of color. With this guy at the for front. Maybe it's time for a new party, with actual principles.

We learned the hard way a dozen times or so over the centuries that when our friends sell us out, the Russian barbarians take that as an invitation to start marauding again. Trump has made the world less safe, especially for Poland.
