Here's the problem with Donald Trump. We have no idea whether his 'America First' review of AUKUS will result in the collapse of the alliance, or if we'll simply end up having to pretend it's now called USAUK.

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

RFK is going to be responsible for a lot of death and suffering

New 2026 Democrat campaign ad just dropped.

Abolishing DHS might be the median position at this point, I’ll make an exception for the Coast Guard

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

I solved American healthcare: Everybody just gets what they need and any time anybody asks "Who's going to pay for it?", it's legal to slap them upside the head as hard as you can. Trust me, those kinds of people will just figure it out to not get WAILED ON BY ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HATE THEIR GUTS.

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

“Donald Trump only wants people who support him to hear his address to the armed forces! Also, no fatties.” What an inspiring leader

Cuomo PAC darkens skin of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in new mailer to NYC voters.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

Like, here's what's weird: there's so little actual violence or pseudoviolence in LA that even the right-wing shitheads like the New York post have nothing to say, just making fun of this guy for wearing yellow or something.

Merry Tuesday! I'm looking forward to Saturday.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

"Wide load" indeed.

So the MAGAs are out counterprotesting in Santa Ana, and they're beginning to draw their own counter-counterprotest...anti-counterprotest... which appears to be mostly just regular people? 2025, baby!

When my dad was my age, he was watching Nascar and Ken Burns documentaries and teaching me how to fix stuff. Why can't I just be a woke middle-aged white man in peace? We were supposed to just do vanilla-as-hell liberal democracy until capitalism petered out, dammit!

People, we are nearing the end of civilization.

Hell, I *wish* there were day laborers I could hire for a fair wage to do shit at my Home Depot. The only things going on in the Home Depot parking lot in my town are drug deals and entitled assholes not putting away their carts.
