"Biden—and the Democratic Party generally—attempted to 'muddle through' without fixing the fundamental problems that brought us Trump. Today it is clear that that option is no longer before us." www.liberalcurrents.com/reforging-am...

Trump Says U.S. Ending Trade Talks With Canada The president said he would cease negotiations and impose new tariffs because of Canada’s imminent, new digital services taxes By Tony Romm Andrew Duehren and Matina Stevis-Gridneff June 27, 2025 Updated 5:16 p.m. ET www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/b...

It is torture to watch these people speak and know that there are other Americans who will agree with them and not comprehend what a degenerate crime organization Trump has turned the federal government into. He finished the job of wholly corrupting all three branches. youtube.com/shorts/R1r0z...

Hooray!

Is Ohio's statehouse more corrupt than Texas'?

The creeper got three Supreme Court picks.

Will they say ethnic food? Also, what connection am I missing here? People shouldn't appreciate ethnic food because Jesus said life is more than food? The West shouldn't accept immigrants because of a story that doesn't pertain much, if at all, to migration? What a dipshit.

He had a lot of preparation in abusing the system prior to becoming president, so it's no surprise he hit the ground running.

Trump: "If the slaves had agreed to states rights and the British hadn't attacked us after the Declaration of the Constitution, then the Civil War wouldn't have happened. Then they said babies of slaves should have citizenship without having to work for Medicaid, and we're putting a stop to that."

They are subject to violent ICE gangs here now. This is so wrong. They terrorized the Haitian immigrants and the city of Springfield with their Trumpy stochastic terrorism pet-eating claims, and we knew this was coming. Will Stephen Miller offer to find labor to take their jobs?

Basic structure of strategies that undermine democracy. 1) Micro-target 2) Enflame grievance 3) Entrench in belief systems 4) Monetize 5) Radicalize From my testimony to EU Parliament this week. Audio excerpt available here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3QK...

What creeps! What contempt for their constituents!

Denaturalize them!

I hold such disdain for Mike Johnson - and Jim Jordan, James Comer, Mitch McConnell, and so on.

Holy Crap. Just straight up looting at this point. Or like was already looting. But just bringing in a semi to haul out the loot faster.

I'm in person at House Appropriations Committee's markup of the FY 26 Legislative branch appropriations bill. The legislation makes a 50% cut to Congress's watchdog, the GAO, as well as prevents it from fulfilling statutory duties on impoundment. It also cuts the Library by 10%. It's gonna be lit

Adrian Andrew Martinez, the 20-year-old U.S. citizen that was arrested by ICE while working at Walmart, sits down with our reporter, Aisha Wallace-Palomares, to give us insights into what he experienced. Amongst the new revelations, he shares that he was fired by Walmart.

I am running out of things to say.

Omead Afshar, a longtime Musk loyalist who has headed up a bunch of "special projects" at Tesla is out. Guy must know where a lot of bodies are buried, so him leaving is a big deal www.cnbc.com/2025/06/26/t...

Donnie Two-tone got the teevee guy he needed for these performances.

President national and international security threat.

"Midnight Hammer." Snicker. Who makes up these names? I see an "Operation Trump Testosterone MAGA Woke Destroyer" soon.

That Ken Paxton has a greater than zero chance of winning a senate race tells that Texas is the most FUBAR state in the country, even more so than Florida.

And his base will believe him even when they lose their Medicaid.

And you know she must be miserable.

Hee hee hee!

Boyle: For every American household that makes under $55,000 a year, they will be poorer as a result of this bill. So it's quite clear under this Republican betrayal— the poor get poorer, the rich get richer, and the middle class falling further behind. This is wrong.

How does he feel about being an evil criminal prick?

Just think if you had used your power to prevent this freak from getting back in the White House, Mitch, instead of putting party before country

Call your senators!

“I personally was pretty surprised, actually, at how efficient the government was,” Sahil Lavingia told NPR's Juana Summers.

It is good entertainment to watch them crash and burn in hearings.

They were until DOGE, at least, but now waste, fraud, and abuse are rampant under Trump.

Time to pick a side, America. Is this the future you want for us?

Also, remember when they were freaked out by use of the title czar when Obama was president?

Funny how they are always unaware of criminal activities.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

This seems horribly inefficient. Do congressional Republicans know anything about these DOGE disasters or are they just ignoring it and distracted by their efforts to get to the bottom of Biden's mental decline?

Remember when there was talk of the Dems expanding the Supreme Court? Maybe a dangerous precedent, but it looks like a good idea in hindsight.

I think Asha's analysis is correct. In the Watergate case, Judge Sirica, presented with evidence of misconduct involving DOJ personnel, directed a special investigation conducted by a former prosecutor he appointed for that purpose.

Sigh. This is my mother-in-law, other in-laws, some in my family, and some of my friends. We all have them.

I don’t know who Chay Bowes is, but I know he is a Trumper.

Look at his energy!

OK, this is huge. This is telling. Thanks, Mitch, for giving the worst, most corrupt president in U.S. history an extra Supreme Court pick to make a grand total of three. This is grotesque.

As someone else said, it's hard for an ordinary person to tell since he has been saying batshit crazy things since 2016.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Wow. Is Massie, uh, turning into a good guy? That seems impossible, but to acknowledge that Cheatoman was responsible for something bad? To criticize James Donald Bowman, though, is huge! Get a team of Dems to his office right now and see if he'll switch parties.
