What happens if habeas corpus is suspended and all Americans are in danger of arbitrary punishment? A growing number of judges say Trump's ongoing legal fights are existential for all Americans’ fundamental rights, not just those of immigrants. Clearly, they’re right.

A staggering 40% of the country’s weather forecast offices have significant staffing vacancies. Some offices can no longer operate overnight – imperiling their ability to warn people of imminent extreme weather. Make no mistake: DOGE's cuts put American lives at risk.

Anyone who has worked on intelligence matters understands the importance of apolitical analysis and speaking truth to power. In firing intel officials who did just that, Gabbard proved once again that she is unfit for her position.

Trump was just negotiating with Saudi Arabia, the country responsible for 9/11 and dismembering a Washington Post journalist. And took a $400 million bribe from the country that finances Hamas, famous for its hostage taking. So take a seat, you crazy, white supremacist bitch.

At its 100-day mark, the Trump administration is touting its immigration onslaught as both a policy victory and a political victory. But neither is true.

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.

"'We don’t win by throwing vulnerable people under the bus! Why punch down on the very people we’re trying to protect?' It’s hard to argue with that moral sentiment. But ultimately, the debate before Democrats is about not just ethics but politics."

Trump's feverishly touted "full and comprehensive trade deal with the United Kingdom" is really just a concept of what a future trade deal might be. But with no deals in his pocket, Donald "90 Trade Deals in 90 Days" Trump is desperate to pretend he has a solid deal. Sad.
