Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

Welcome to Pyongyang on the Potomac.

So, the stable genius climbed down on most of the tariffs. Now, he can turn his full attention to depriving us of our civil rights and otherwise destroying our constitutional order.

These measures are unconstitutional, both under the 1st Amendment and the separation of powers and violate the Anti-Impoundment Act. Why are they not fighting back? www.nytimes.com/article/trum...

Trump’s favorability rating in a new YouGov/Economist poll out today is back to -11 net, undoing all his gains during the Biden admin. and post-202 election. Now firmly in the territory of first-term levels of unpopularity

Georgetown scholar Dr. Khan Suri, who was abducted by ICE, was refused food/water to break Ramadan fast, housed in a room without a bed, and issued *used* underwear. His child cried for days after he was taken and has since stopped speaking. ccrjustice.org/home/press-c...

Welcome to the world of gross human rights violations.

BREAKING: The 4th Circuit has *denied* the Trump administration's effort to resist an order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by midnight tonight. Judge Xinis' order is still in effect. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I'm sure the Trump regime would consider this a totally acceptable outcome: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u...
