“Governor Trudeau” is part of the Trump administration’s ethos of pathological insecurity. A weak person is constantly compelled to insult and belittle others, even allies, to show “strength.” An actually strong person isn’t. Bullies are weak, as are their sycophants.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

it is very telling of these guys’ conception of how power works that they see issuing a flurry of executive orders as evidence of presidential strength and vigor and not a sign that the president is too weak to pursue a serious legislative agenda

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

The US government recently bought powerful spyware that could make hacking your phone easier—and shape the way Trump executes some of his campaign promises, including mass deportations. My latest in @newyorker.com: www.newyorker.com/news/news-de...

Bari Weiss is here to gather material to write a column full of lies about how this site is bad (and implicitly why it must be censored). Not that it makes a difference, but do not give her material by engaging with her

For years now, the right has been accusing Democrats of running a shadowy conspiracy to protect politicians who are sex predators. Democrats need to scream "WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?" until they force the report's release.

At least 63 billionaires have now publicly endorsed Trump, hosted a fundraiser for him, or contributed to Trump aligned PACs. Why are they rallying behind him? Tax cuts, mostly. But there's more. The more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes. Be warned.

I travel every week for work. Today is the first time seeing a MAGA hat in the San Diego Airport. This is a fresh fucking hell for me and I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep it together if this shithead acts up during the flight
