He nails it.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

I keep thinking about Trump saying that he needed the kind of generals that Hitler had.

U.S., Ukraine near deal to grant mineral rights to Washington - The Washington Post search.app/XnWv3UQC5uVD...

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

At 4 a.m. our Republican colleagues voted against Warren/Kelly/King amendments that would have stopped further tax cuts for people making over $10 million; then $100 million; and then $500 million. No it isn’t a dream. 😴 They just did it.

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Today we remember Alexei Navalnay, leader of the Russian opposition, who was found dead in his prison cell in Siberia one year ago today. I stand in solidarity with his widow Yulia Navalnay, the first lady of Russian opposition.

Today, Elon Musk called Social Security “the largest fraud in history.” The world's richest man is coming to steal your Social Security. I PAID INTO SOCIAL SECURITY FOR 65 YEARS! THE MONEY IS MINE. KEEP YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF OUR SOCIAL SECURITY!!!!

Five people kidnapped and tortured Sam for weeks. He endured prolonged physical and psychological abuse at the hands of these psychopaths. Stop the hate! May Sam's memory be a blessing to those who loved him. #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Do all women have a passport???? You will need one to vote if you have changed your name. Please look into getting a passport asap, although I heard there is a hold on passports now. Just file anyway. There can’t be a hold forever. This is so fucked.

JFC indeed.

It’s crazy to think this county was more tolerant of the differences among us 50 years ago than it is today.

BREAKING: “Musk’s DOGE is seeking access to a heavily-guarded IRS system that includes detailed financial info about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in 🇺🇸 — sparking alarm within the tax agency.” Alarmed yet?

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

Elon Musk relied on undocumented workers to help build Tesla's gigafactory in Texas then he propagated anti-immigrant sentiment to vault himself into political power alongside Trump. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

We are nearing a precipice.

The imagination falters when attempting to predict all the many ways in which this could go spectacularly wrong ... militarily, economically, environmentally, diplomatically, autocratically. Some, probably most, will never materialize. But something will. Something major will.

Ffs, America, wake up! When leaders from European countries call for a summit to deal with the comments of a president and his administrative officers, it has gone far beyond, trump is an idiot rhetoric. Macron calls for a summit of European leaders on Monday. www.politico.eu/article/macr...

6 questions, 3 scotches.

Hogwash is SO in over his head!

This was predictable. Nonetheless, I suspect it will be temporary as the next few months of chaos take an even larger toll. Trump-aligned farm groups need to start planning to hold their annual conventions at one of Trump’s golf courses. That seems to be the only path to influence.

The passive authoritarian tense

72 million Americans rely on Medicaid. 22 million households per month rely on SNAP. These are the programs Republicans are proposing to cut. This is not about "cutting waste, fraud, and abuse." It's about slashing benefits for working-class Americans to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-rich.

As the top Democrat on the Senate's Primary Health Subcommittee I'm joined by @warren.senate.gov , @schumer.senate.gov, and our colleagues as we demand the Trump admin, Elon Musk, and the DOGE keep their hands off Medicare and Medicaid. thehill.com/newsletters/...
