On the Bill Maher visit to the White House… there’s a reason people stay in relationships with narcissists too long. They know how to be charming. They know how to play nice to win you back. That doesn’t mean they’re good people. It means they’re experts at manipulation because they’re psychopaths.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

Too many people are not aware of what’s going on right now. They’re either posting sunshine and puppy dogs because their guy won and everything is fixed now. Or they’re sympathetic but tuned out because they’re “sick of politics.” Democracy is on fire. We need to wake people up and put it out.

"Why are you deleting photographs of black Medal of Honor winners?" seems like an incredibly easy and straightforward question for any reporter covering Trump or Hegseth, or attending a White House or DoD press briefing, to ask publicly and repeatedly.

yeah Demi didn’t get the Oscar. but she has something better: The Substance is already a cult classic and a midnight movie. people will enjoy her and the movie again and again for years. that’s the beauty of horror movies. they’re eternal and so are the great performances in them.

John McCain would have flipped out today at the press conference. I miss those days of politics, where we have disagreements about many things but are living in the same universe. This new brand of politics is infuriating because you spend all of your time convincing people that the sky is blue.

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone. Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.

You know? As cultish and weird as my fundamentalist upbringing was, they got the Jesus part right. They taught it to me good. And that part was always beautiful. I genuinely wanted to be a force for love and truth in this world. And then… they started watching Fox News and abandoned it completely.

Buttigieg for President? Young but experienced, an incredible messenger, and super engaging online. Here’s a guy who would do viral videos every day of what he’s getting done for America in a way that people can actually relate to. He might be the one.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Let’s think about the best case scenario… the whole country collectively wakes up and destroys the GOP in the mid-terms. What happens next? Trump immediately claims massive voter fraud and then…?? Everything that happens next is terrifying. I just don’t see a happy ending to any of this. 😩

“We urge every attorney to join us and insist that our government, a government of the people, follow the law. It is part of the oath we took when we became lawyers. Whatever your political party or your views, change must be made in the right way. Americans expect no less.”
