I predicted Harmeet Dhillon would destroy the DOJ's Civil Rights Division and reverse years and years of progress. "The division changed mission statements across its sections to focus less on racial discrimination and more on fighting diversity initiatives and anti-Christian bias."

Trump, once again shows that he’s the greatest at what he does, specifically driving to ruin everything he touches.

Let’s say he eliminates all tariffs. There will still be empty shelves because there are no ships on their way here. In 18 months when most every thing is pretty much back to normal Trump will blame all the problems on the economy Biden left and claim credit for the most greatest economic turnaround

No. Absolutely not‼️ This is exactly what shouldn’t happen. Farmers don’t get a bailout this time. Especially if they helped put Trump in office — they can suffer right along with the rest of us losing our businesses and livelihoods. Trump needs to stop this tariff madness—instead of bailouts.

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

This, in a nutshell, is why the Justice Department remains independent from the White House when it comes to directing criminal prosecution. A country that fails to take to heart the lessons of Watergate ends up with Trump.

People are far too quick to say that Musk's conduct was criminal. Just as an example, the Privacy Act compliance was closely monitored via various lawsuits and the DOGE boys were often given access as a need to access basis (or people w/in agencies lied and said they did).

Trump’s intense pressure on Ukraine and weak deference to Russia’s Putin is extinguishing any lingering notion that the United States is an evenhanded peace broker. As totally expected, Trump has proven himself to be nothing more than a pathetic lapdog of his master, Putin.

Trump loves Putin so much he will drive every thing great about America down to the Russia level. Think about it. Economy destroyed by tariffs; law only applies to his “enemies;” disappearing legal residents; threatening to occupy Greenland; to name just a few of his actions and threats.
