Ukraine, Europe, and the rest of the free world should tell Trump & Vance and the U.S. to fuck off. Trump, Vance & the U.S. are siding with Putin. It is what it is.

Nazi salutes are having a moment. Our critic weighs in. Steve Bannon’s offered precise form worthy of 1930s Germany, but Elon Musk’s honored the drug-fueled mania of the original Nazis.

I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.

If Joe Biden said this, the entire Republican Party would be yelling about Munich/1938/appeasement, & it would prompt nonstop front page headlines about whether he was mentally unfit to be president.

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

Elon Musk spends every day on his platform lying to the American people. He’s unelected, nobody knows what he’s doing, he has HUGE conflicts of interest, and he doesn’t have the authority to cut ANY spending. In a healthy democracy, Musk would be in front Congress answering questions under oath.

The reason Trump could kill someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it is because the press would cover it like “Trump kills a man. Critics call it a crime.” which creates a permission structure for everyone to keep believing what they already believe

Still can’t stop thinking about the binary nature of American elections, a few hundred thousand votes in three states all the distance between just normal stuff and armed officers keeping House reps out of the department of education and a guy named Big Balls canceling everyone’s Medicare

And I'll tell you another thing my 8th grade students know. According to our Constitution, any agency, such as USAID, which was created by an act of Congress, can only be ended by an act of Congress.

I suspect USAID is first because it's "foreign aid" and fewer Americans will object. But once the precedent is established, expect unilateral dismantling of domestic institutions too

Reminder: The Constitution says Congress regulates trade. The president imposing tariffs is an abuse of emergency powers. There is clearly no US national security emergency regarding Canada. Media might not care, weaklings in Congress might want to forfeit their authority, but still, facts matter.

I'll tell you one thing. My 8th grade students know that a tariff is a tax paid by us.

Hey look, another instance of the total failure of Article I of the Constitution. This is an agency created by a law of Congress in 1961. The President does not have the power to do this. Except, he can if Congress does nothing.

Look, this is bad for democracy and all, no doubt. But I also can’t help but notice that NYT’s many years of pandering to Trump and shaping coverage in his favor failed to prevent them getting kicked out of the Pentagon press room.

Democrats in Congress need to repeat this mantra: There are no “cheap shots” nor such a thing as “politicizing a tragedy” when it could be connected to Trump’s efforts to dismantle the govts.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

New 2024 data: Over 50% of GOP fundraising now comes from just 100 mega-donors. Trump’s embrace of the billionaire class—and their embrace of him—will only supercharge this trend.

There it is. The 14th amendment is pretty clear, as is the Constitution about the process for ammending it. This should be a 9-0 loss for Trump. If he manages to win this case, watch out: that's the sign we are in real deal, fascist trouble. (I'd be shocked, honestly.)
