Biden: Fewer than 100 days into this new administration, they have done so much damage and destruction. It is kind of breathtaking it could happen that soon.

Interesting how Trump is slapping tariffs on countless allies but gives a completely free pass to Russia. Yet another sign of this administration’s endless fealty to Putin… and this time, it’s raising your prices in the process.

Tens of thousands of my constituents devote their careers to public service. They go to work every day to help America, often passing up lucrative opportunities in the private sector. They are patriots and we should thank them, not vilify them and drive them from public service.

What was dumber: including a journalist on a signal chat about your bomb plans or then calling that journalist “bottom scum” while he still had the screenshots available to publish as your colleagues were already committing perjury

Put my final mortgage payment in the mail this afternoon, so my housing costs will drop to nominal. On top of that, everybody wants to give me discounts, even though my total income is higher now than when I was working full-time. It's great to be a Boomer!

asked about texting war plans to a Signal group, Pete Hegseth deflects by attacking Jeffrey Goldberg as a "discredited so-called journalist." (MAGA's only plays are whataboutism and attacking the messenger. Every. Time.)

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA. Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people. This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become. It's targeted harassment.
