We fought a war so we wouldn’t have a ruler who wanted majesty. It’s the people’s house, not a palace or a tacky casino.

Yes.

How freakin’ prescient is this?! That Lorne Michaels is pure for casting genius!

Why is the US Govt continuing to interfere in the domestic politics and elections of our allies, and why is the Homeland Security Secretary on a lengthy world tour?

I’m not going to pretend for one second that an executive order is a law. I don’t serve a king.

“Most of that grant money is appropriated by Congress for the National Institutes of Health to disburse to fund biomedical research after a lengthy application process by individual scientists, work that is not typically done at trade schools…” www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Does Kristi Noem ask Corey Lewandowski permission before she quotes him?

Science is an economic driver in Hamilton, Mont., thanks to Rocky Mountain Laboratories, a federal research lab. Now, layoffs and funding cuts are having an impact in this town far from Washington.

Dear Mike Johnson and friends,

America First = America Alone Unprecedented: the U.S. is the only country out of 184 to see a drop in international tourism this year. Everyone else is rebounding. We’re projected to lose $12.5 billion in spending—jobs, small businesses, entire communities will feel this.

Classy as expected. You know what? He can wallow in his victimhood and misery. How about the rest of us go just enjoy the day and honor our fallen.

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

This is beyond terrifying www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for a $50M Gulfstream jet request, funded by the Coast Guard's budget. It's a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes luxury over essential services.#AdminOfGrift

“Credit scores are plunging for millions now that the Trump administration has resumed collection on defaulted student-loan payments.”

Not sure if democracy remains on the docket? My law firm is litigating 53 voting and election cases in 22 states. When we fight, we win.

This is a senior Justice Department official. Who is in charge of pardons. And also in charge of investigating the “politicization” of the Justice Department.

Anyone collating a book of his gaffs? Will be a bestseller!

As the parent of a type-I diabetic, I would like to invite the ignorant piece of shit currently directing the FDA to kiss my ass.

Anyone planning to attend the great military parade on June 14th in honor of the draft-dodger-in-chief? Get your tickets here: [wink, wink] events.america250.org/events/250th...

I hate it when I RSVP for an event and can’t make it. Anyway, here is the link to free tickets for Captain Bone Spur’s military parade… events.america250.org/events/250th...

This hits hard.

We need a massive “get out the vote” campaign starting now…

This week, the Secretary of Homeland Security showed she did not even know what the term "habeas corpus" meant. It was a truly pathetic moment, but also truly representative of the embarrassing ignorance of this administration and their lack of respect for the rule of law. #ResistTrump

It’s really cool watching tapper pretend to be a journalist knowing how much personal animosity he has for the left.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: "Reality is that hospitals are gonna close, nursing homes are gonna shut down, people are going to die if these Medicaid cuts and their efforts to detonate parts of the ACA are successfully enacted into law."

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

Outraged and heartbroken by the news of two young people killed last night in DC in a targeted act of antisemitic violence. This is the opposite of advancing justice and peace - it only furthers the violence, pain, and loss - and such hatred must be firmly rejected by all.

Russ Vought blatantly lies: "This bill will help debt and deficits."

GOP grifters…
