Justice Department broadens Jan. 6 pardons to cover gun, drug-related charges He's making it clear he wants them to be above the law. Probably so he can turn them into a goon squad, brownshirts, or something similar

Donald Trump's hunger for power was clearly displayed Friday in a brief exchange with Gov. Janet Mills (D-Maine). But of course, his "we are the federal law" is a big change from his many, many years of campaigning on "states' rights."

Trump looks weak and erratic—selling out to Russia, attacking Zelenskyy, and throwing workers under the bus. Markets are rattled, his approval is crashing, and his MAGA cronies are overstepping. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast live at 8p ET/5p PT!

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

In addition to parroting Putin, Trump’s storm of angry lies about Ukraine is no doubt part of his pressure campaign to extort half a trillion in Ukrainian mineral rights he can dole out to his cronies. Corruption is usually behind the curtain.

Excellent description of today’s MAGA-Republican Party. They’re not capable of empathy or compassion. It’s all about the cruelty with them. They give themselves tax breaks while simultaneously cutting key benefits for the American people. It’s shameful and it needs to end.

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

Why does China get lighter tariffs than Mexico or Canada? Why is USAID - the agency countering China's global influence - being shut down illegally? Follow the money. Musk and his SV bros will do anything - even pledging allegiance to socialism - to make $$ in China.

Everyone should be pointing out what is happening at CFPB. There is zero argument to be made here that this is being done to provide taxpayer value. The agency's budget is minuscule, averaging like $600 million/year, yet it has obtained $20 billion in payments from corporations to Americans
