Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

If every European country in Nato increases its military spend, they might as well ditch the pariah state USA and have a collective security alliance of their own, purchasing armaments from themselves. Canada could be invited. Not as crazy an idea as, for example, USA invading Greenland.

This story has been fact checked.

I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event. I just can’t. None of us can.

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

Business is booming

after hearing from several of you last night, i think i have a general structure for this. it's subject to change based on feedback, but if you're a current, fired, or currently-being-litigated federal worker, i want to hear from you. here are the details.

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Locals conspire to murder some pesky Egyptologists in MADE FOR LOVE

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

The governor of Maine is a 77-year-old in the middle of her second term in office and therefore ineligible to run for a third. But King Trump here tries to intimidate her by saying she'll have no future career in politics if she dares to stand up to him. I think she's all good, man.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

NEW: Trump’s DoJ Chief of Staff has filed a complaint against Judge Reyes because she bench slapped their bigoted asses into the sun three days ago.

This Berenstain Bears lunchbox from 1993 captures a simpler time, before internet misinformation and social media, when the family computer primarily provided us with incomplete jigsaw puzzles, treble clefs, apples, and live fish

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

There’s something happening in this country.

when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic
