They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

I trust Naomi Biden a helluva lot more than I trust Jake Tapper. Maybe Jake’s next book will be a defense of birtherism.

Dear Republicans, Cutting science budgets has not historically been a Republican thing. For example, Lincoln created the National Academy of Sciences. Eisenhower's term increased the science budget 366%. Gerald Ford, +15%; George H. W. Bush, +30%; George W. Bush, +54%. Just sayin’.

In my hometown of Omaha, the incumbent Republican mayor won re-election in 2021 by 65%-35%. Yesterday the Democratic candidate beat her 56%-44%. The new mayor’s black, like 12 or 13% of people in Omaha, and in the U.S.

Trump is literally trying to fly around on a plane from a foreign government while serving as President. That’s a violation of the Constitution. The Emoluments Clause wasn’t a suggestion. It’s the LAW.

And this is why due process, and requiring the government to justify to a judge why they grabbed you off the street and stuck you in jail, matters

While Americans pay the price for Donald Trump's senseless trade war, it looks like Trump officials are using tariffs as a bargaining chip to get sweetheart deals for Elon Musk’s companies. Looks like corruption to me.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Trump's threat to arrest Governor Evers is a chilling attempt to normalize fascism & silence dissent. They want to bully & intimidate anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology. We will NOT be intimidated. We will NOT be silenced. We will DEFEND our freedom.

You can sum up Trump’s first 100 days with four words: Trump lied. Musk stole.

Trump’s working to turn America’s professional civil service into an army of MAGA-cap brandishing sycophants, completely gutting the Hatch Act and hustling America down the path of Orbán and Putin. We have to stop this.

Let's say Harris won last year and Vance was holding 10k-20k person rallies where he railed against left-wing "oligarchy." Would the CW be that this was crazy and a waste of time? Or would we be seeing NYT op-eds and A1s about what "oligarchy" is and why the GOP base was on fire about it?

New evidence for the possibility of alien life thriving in a nearby exoplanet's biosphere. Seems like a bad time to eviscerate science funding to NASA. Or we just cede leadership to countries that value science more than we do. www.fox26houston.com/news/k2-18b-exoplanet-alien-cambridge-study-2025
