Andrew Sullivan (a Brit): "Once you grasp Trump as an elected monarch, his full rebuke to the very idea of America comes into clearer view. He is precisely — almost uncannily — what this country was founded to oppose: an arbitrary, corrupt, mendacious, and utterly incompetent king."

Repeat after me - there is no plan. The entire global economy hangs on the whims of one guy. Also, Howard Lutnick promised me all those millions of jobs screwing tiny screws into iPhones were coming back to the United States.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

If I'm a typical observer in a foreign country and I see what's going on in America, how do I NOT impute a good share of the craziness to the voters who elected him? It's not like his agenda was a secret.

We keep hearing about "agreements" btw Trump and law firms or Trump and universities. Where are they? What are they? Are they really committed to paper? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/why-a...

Nothing will ever match the cruelty of the first Trump Administration’s child separation policy, but they’re really trying hard to match it in their second term with these deportations.

This is a fight to watch. The IRA tax credits massively, directly benefit numerous Republican districts. Will their voters' interests outweigh their loyalty to Dear Leader Trump? It's an open question.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

More grim details on the complete destruction of US science. There are 2 reasons for this: Republicans hate any aspect of government that actually works to benefit people, & Climate science threatens the livelihoods of the fossil-fuels industry, the GOP's donors. www.science.org/content/arti...

I don't actually think Trump is smart enough or focused enough to engineer and execute a plan to destroy America. But his backer, Putin, is…and is always there to flatter Trump into carrying out his wishes. Because Donnie is the easiest guy in the world to manipulate.

Did I read this right? Trump issued executive orders directing DoJ to investigate two people who criticized him, accusing them of "treason"? My God. They said he would use his office for revenge, but this is beyond all sanity.

A $1 trillion "defense" budget amounts to $3,000 for every child, woman, and man in the country. More than $8 every single day. What are you doing to contribute your $8 today? How about your kids'? And Trump says the trade deficit is unsustainable. Also have to ask…
