For the record I am SO SHOCKED that the tech oligarchs who bought Trump and MAGA for their little coup got tariff exemptions. I mean, who could have ever seen something like that coming?

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

I am proud to join my colleagues in filing an amicus brief standing up to Trump’s unconstitutional and un-American attack on birthright citizenship. Let me be clear: If you’re born on U.S. soil, you are a U.S. citizen. That’s not just common sense—it’s the Constitution.

When you elect a bunch of people who hate and fear government to run your government, you get a government of hate and fear. This is true no matter how many times you're dumb enough to run the experiment.

The VA is having mental health clinicians work in cubicle farms and tell veterans they can’t guarantee their privacy because of SecVA’s asinine return to work order. There isn’t room! Veterans will suffer. That’s the real goal. Force VA to fail. The price? Veterans. Enough is enough.

If you want to know what Republicans value, look at their budget. It paves the way for massive cuts to Social Security, Medicaid and SNAP— And mammoth tax cuts for billionaires. Their top priority is pleasing Trump's golf pals and corporations shipping jobs overseas. Not you.

In a reasonable world, these statements wouldn't be considered anti-Christian but Rubio definitely thinks of them that way: -- The meek shall inherit the earth. -- God and Christ are always superior to Trump. -- Judge not, lest ye be judged. -- It's very difficult for the rich to enter Heaven.

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

Consumer sentiment is now lower than it was during the Great Recession and the second lowest reading since 1952. The guy who inherited hundreds of millions from his father and squandered it now inherited an economy that was the envy of the world and squandered it.

Black women in America are still 3x more likely to die from preventable pregnancy complications than white women. And Trump's plans to slash Medicaid will only make this crisis worse. We must protect Medicaid at all costs.
