Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully.   That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy. If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

By appeasing Trump, law firms are allowing him to rewrite history by creating false impressions of election misconduct and illegal hiring practices. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in D.C. today: "And let’s usher in, as President Trump says, a ‘Golden Age’ of American manufacturing.'” This is nuts. Democrats really, really have to learn, as Robert Frost put it, to take their own side in a fight. www.thebulwark.com/p/clown-in-a...

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

2019 is calling and saying, hey, why didn’t you listen

Worst president ever

I would like to post as a gift article, but I don't see the option now. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The White House’s decision to punish the Associated Press by eliminating its access to President Donald Trump’s events, the Oval Office and Air Force One is unconstitutional, a federal judge said.

BREAKING: Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, restores the Associated Press to the White House press pool, saying the WH must "immediately rescind the denial of AP's access." This comes after Trump banned the AP for refusing to call the Gulf of Mexico "the Gulf of America."

Can we permanently put to rest the myth that a businessman knows more how to manage the economy? Or do we have to wait for our economy’s collapse for some among us to grasp it?

Dear media, It’s not: “President Trump Discusses Possible Third Term.” It’s: “Kleptocratic Wannabe Dictator Says He Can Serve ‘Third Term’ In Blatant Disregard Of The Constitution He ‘Swore’ An Oath To Defend.” You’re welcome.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Today a reporter asked the orange felon if he knew that 4 US troops recently died in Lithuania and he said he didn’t know. But he surely knew that a building in Colorado displayed a picture of him that he hated and spent an entire day posting about it on social media. Asshole.

Leavitt explains that Pete Hegseth's texts detailing war plans are not classified because Pete Hegseth says they're not classified 🙃

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security." Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

The next time Florida tries to ban a book to "protect the children," remember that they want to change laws to make 14 year-old work overnight shifts. They don't care about children, they just care about erasing women and all people who are LGBTQ or of color. wsvn.com/news/local/f...

Crow: You were also traveling during this discussion, correct? Gabbard: Yes. Crow: And where were you? Gabbard: I don't recall which country I was in at that time. Crow: You don't remember the country?

Sorry that it didn't give me the option of gift article (maybe I used them up?). www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

“The Trump administration is refusing to provide information to Judge Boasberg — a former presiding judge of the nation’s national security surveillance court — even privately and in a secure facility for handling classified information.” DOJ’s position is absurd. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/u...
