Trump has set up a new club where CEOs, tech bros, and foreign oligarchs can pay $500,000 to join in order to get access to the Trump Cabinet who will all be there regularly. Just because the grift is all public doesn’t mean this isn’t the most corrupt White House in history.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

This hasn't gotten enough attention. Very effective questioning by Rep. @crow.house.gov in span of 3 mins 1. exposes how Hegseth endangered servicemembers' lives 2. shows that a scandal upon the scandal is the failure to take responsibility Crow is a U.S. Army veteran (Bronze Star Medal)

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

like the Voice of America, so much of what this administration is recklessly destroying was put in place in an era of global conflicts to help prevent another. It’s not charity. It’s a loss leader for peace.

Democrats, Trump is increasingly unpopular and he will keep sinking as he destroys the economy. For the love of God, stand up and fight. Don't cave. Be an opposition party and reflect the anger of the majority. Win over people. It won't be as hard as you think. Stop being scared.

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

I've yet to see any allegation that Khalil committed a crime. Or that he ever publicly expressed support for Hamas (which would still not be a crime). This piece suggests he didn't even participate in the encampment -- only that he mediated between the protesters and Columbia.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Wild to think how strong a position the US would be in geopolitically if it weren’t just shooting itself in both feet. Russia’s military and economy devastated. China stagnating, in massive debt, and falling off a demographic cliff. Europe…adrift at best. An own goal of unbelievable proportions.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Elon Musk is the single biggest beneficiary of U.S. government contracts. Taxpayers are subsidizing the “fire hose of hate and falsehoods” that now appear on X that Musk bought for $44 billion two years ago. Do you see a pattern here? Does this make you angry?

A serious proposal: If the Trump administration is going to neglect and eliminate entire US Government functions, Democrats should select a full shadow cabinet to fill the void. Send an alt SecState to the G20, have an alt CDC Director let us know what’s really going on with Bird Flu and TB, etc.

I think we are all searching in vain for evidence that Donald Trump or Elon Musk are serving America rather than other interests. Their anger at USAID sounds like ventriloquism from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. It makes no sense whatsoever to anyone who actually loves this country and its values.

There isn't a plan. There's no nine-dimensional chess. He's not a mastermind. He's an angry man drunk on his own power, picking stupid fights for no reason, all to demonstrate "strength." There's no defense for this.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening? In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control. Call it what it is.
