Let me get this straight: the party that defends dark money, which by definition can come from overseas since the donor is kept secret, is complaining about foreign influence?

Speaking with students at Cal Poly yesterday, they wanted to know — is our democracy going to get through this? It is. But it's going to take all of us. Seeing their engagement in politics and passion for public service, I'm more sure of that than ever.

No president is above the law. Not now, not ever. Openly defying a unanimous Supreme Court order is beyond unconstitutional. Trump must be held accountable.

A ‘Vladimir, STOP!’ post on Truth Social appears to be Trump’s secret plan revealed to end the war. We have never looked more foolish and pathetic.

The upside of the absolute incompetence of Trump and his circus cabinet is that I'm a lot more forgiving of my own shortcomings. Like. These guys totally believe in their own competence without any justification: why shouldn't I believe in myself a bit more?

1 month and still no accountability. Hegseth must be fired.

Disappearing people. This is not the country I grew up in–and I’m not going to let it be the country I leave to my children. I will continue speaking up because it is clear this is a constitutional crisis and being silent is being complicit.

They are deadly serious about this. They are planning to throw millions of people off their insurance in order to afford a trillion dollar tax cut for the wealthiest 1%.

Trump said no exceptions to his tariffs. Then, Apple CEO Tim Cook went to work “behind the scenes” — and poof, iPhone tariffs are cut. That looks like corruption, plain and simple. I’m pressing Trump officials — and Tim Cook himself — for answers. www.youtube.com/shorts/-RZH8...

When billionaires funnel government contracts to themselves and eliminate oversight, they call it “business.” But when working families rely on programs and agencies to afford education or protect themselves from financial predators, they call it “fraud.”

By the way, Trump and Elon are firing veterans across government while the Secretary of Defense spends your money on a makeup studio.

It is sickening to see Trump turn the United States of America into Putin’s agent and errand boy in this negotiation.

Trump’s efforts to deport migrant farm workers will only disrupt families, raise food prices and put more pressure on struggling family farms. It is exactly the wrong approach. The time is long overdue for real immigration reform and a path to citizenship for migrant workers.

Last week I traveled to Saudi Arabia where I met face to face with Saudi officials and demanded accountability for the regime’s human rights violations, harboring of fugitives, and the murder of journalists like Jamal Khashoggi.

The only thing that’s going to get you fired from a Trump 2.0 cabinet is disloyalty to Trump. No act of incompetence, mismanagement, criminality, or malfeasance can get you fired. As long as you are loyal to Trump, you can pretty much do anything.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

I think, in principle, it makes sense for free nations impose high tariffs on non-free nations to offset the damage done to workers who are undercut by slave labor.

Pete Hegseth was unqualified from the start. Each day he continues to prove just how dangerous and unfit he is to serve as Secretary of Defense and keep our country safe. It’s past time he resign, and each day Republicans remain silent puts American families at risk.

Oren Cass might have intelligent sounding arguments, but his belief that Trump's regime is capable or interested is absolutely unfounded. There is no point in having an intellectual debate on fiscal policy with Trump and his circus cabinet steering the ship

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

If you ever have a moment of doubt wondering: will Trump ultimately do what's best for out country with trade wars and tariffs and military alliances...just remember who he picked for his cabinet. That's all you need to know about his presidency. People who think Trump is strong/capable are fools

Time for real accountability. Secretary Hegseth must resign, or be fired.

The most corrupt administration in American history strikes again. If you think it's a coincidence that one of Trump's biggest donors is the frontrunner to receive yet another huge government contract, think again.

How many times does Pete Hegseth need to leak classified intelligence before Donald Trump and Republicans understand that he isn’t only a f*cking liar, he is a threat to our national security?

We have never had a more incompetent or unqualified Secretary of Defense. It’s a disgrace he was ever nominated, but in case it wasn’t already abundantly apparent—Pete Hegseth must RESIGN.

Confirming Hegseth really was insanely reckless.

If you ask "Luke", Jesus died because of our sinful nature. If you ask the other gospel writers he died as a sacrifice. I don't understand the idea of: "here is my son. If you sacrifice him, you'll be forgiven for everything you ever did wrong." Happy Easter anyway.

I love technology, but I find AI to be mostly dull and uninspiring. The best use of AI is to create eerie, alien approximations of life. It's best use is satire of itself.

I don't want a democrat to come in and do a "better job" at being president. I want the power of the president to go back to congress where it belongs.

There is only one way to end the war: put pressure on the Russians. The Trump people did the opposite: put pressure on Ukraine, and relieved pressure on Russia. They have made the war worse while talking of "peace."
