It's bizarre how pundits and politicians cover Trump's second term with little mention of the first term, even though it's a direct extension. Just as they covered his first term as if it weren't a continuation of a lifetime in organized crime. They treat everything as disparate when it's one story.

We should be helping ordinary Americans on Main Street, not super wealthy Americans who don’t need another tax cut.

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.

It’s really rich that the Supreme Court ruled that Trump could literally do anything he wanted and never face consequences and now they’re running around crying about how the rule of law is in danger. Feckless, pathetic motherfuckers.

I'm confused why anyone would think Elon Musk is "off the hook" for his campaign of criminal conduct just because he's "stepped back" from 5 days a week to 2 days. Weird.

Stephen Miller says Trump regime is “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained. Trump would 100% arrest people for standing up to him. We must be ready for this!

This administration has deported a four-year old U.S. citizen with cancer. They're illegally disappearing people to a foreign torture prison. The first thing history will say about Secretary Noem's leadership is that she was responsible for many of these travesties.

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.

Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto. Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

The trans panic has now reached Satanic panic levels of idiocy. I'd say the difference is "Satanists" weren't real, but "trans" people that live in the bigot imagination have nothing in common with actual trans people. In both cases, real people are being witch-hunted to uphold the fantasy.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The President of the United States really does seem hellbent on intentionally destroying the U.S. economy. And even after everything we have seen, there are still some folks—in fact some very powerful, wealthy people—who have not really come to terms with this."

Broken Record: You cannot sustain a functioning constitutional order if the general population is blasé about open violation of the Constitution. If voters don't care, your job is to make them care. This is not optional. If you don't, you lose even if you pick up seats in the next election.

Our simpleminded Attorney General thought it a good idea to go on TV and expressly state that she is promoting "cruel and unusual punishment" (in violation of the 8th Amendment) and denial of due process (in violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments). Can't wait until transcripts appear in courts.

We have a pro-crime Republican President terminating grants that improve public safety and help crime victims. I joined @booker.senate.gov and Democrats to demand DOJ reverse course and follow our laws. We need to be making our communities safer—not tearing away critical resources.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.
