"I inherited a groceries situation," Trump said this week, marveling at this exotic term. Well, now you can see how his new tariffs are affecting food prices, with a set of trackers evaluating the cost of fast food, breakfast — and, of course, BLTs. Gift link: wapo.st/3E052cZ

Ossoff: This is why things don’t work for ordinary people. It’s not because of trans kids or woke college students. It’s not because of our new arch-enemy… Canada.

It’s not illegal to criticize the president. This isn’t your signal to criticize him less, it’s to criticize him more for statements like this. He can’t single all of us out.

I still don’t understand why Democrats would negotiate a budget when the Trump administration claims unilateral authority to cancel any spending it dislikes. As long as congressional Republicans endorse that position, they are not legitimate negotiation partners! An agreement with them has no value!

For my friends, everything. For my enemies, the law. That’s an old diktat, usually attributed to an old Latin American dictator. But it could easily apply today, as cowardly Republicans beg President Donald Trump to spare them — and only them — from the DOGE chainsaw. wapo.st/4kfZ8o9

Oh fuck off. Zelensky defends democracy for us all and Trump surrenders to the enemy and tries to extort him, but it's Zelensky's "style" that is "hurting" Ukraine. The #BrokenTimes sides with fascism, "fair or not."

We need a Digital Bill of Privacy Rights to protect our personal identification from misuse. I want a guarantee my personal info, and yours, isn’t being used for private profit. I want a guarantee our information won’t be used to train Elon’s AI services. Need I go on?

You cannot be pro-Trump and pro-democracy at the same time.

It’s been 3 years since Russia’s unprovoked aggression against Ukraine. Yet Ukraine still stands. Fuck Putin and fuck Trump. Slava Ukraini!

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra. I have a Mabel.

Having passed up the opportunity years ago to run DOJ’s Civil Division, I’ve never run a large organization, let alone at DOJ. So I’m no expert. But I’m gonna spitball that if hundreds of your subordinates want to tell you to “go fuck yourself,” you might, perhaps, have a management problem.

The Mayor of New York is holding his own city as a hostage, openly trading public favors and abandoning his oath to save his own skin. Governor Hochul should act tonight.

This headline presents the situation much more nicely than it should. The arguments the Trump Admin lawyers are making are half-baked, flimsy, and thin. They know it. The judges know it and are getting angry. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-pus...

Now of all times Susan Collins picks to support Tulsi Gabbard, an unfit and dangerous nominee. Collins is the worst judge of character and ability I have ever witnessed. Everyone from Kavanaugh to Gabbard gets her ok. Maine- kick her out in 2026

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

If this happened under Biden's watch, it would be 24-7 outrage for 6 months. Democrats need to unify on message and blast Trump AND his baseless attacks on women, POC, and DEI. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-g...
