Donald Trump's policies are cruel and harmful. They're also insulting, to his opponents and supporters alike. His actions and claims insult the intelligence of the American people - and our shared values.

Really? Congress votes on bills without even reading them? Our coalition read and broke it down. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) admitted he voted for Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill without realizing it weakened federal judges’ power to hold officials in contempt.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Trump has probably been sharing intelligence on Ukraine with Putin the entire time. Remember when aid to Ukraine was stopped and Russia suddenly got very precise with its strikes within the hour?

Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Switching from Trump’s Amazon to the more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Costco is easier than you think. I made the switch. Now everything I need is delivered by Costco right to my door in two hours instead of two days - and without supporting oligarchs!

Paul Weiss has become a symbol for the disgrace of capitulation to Trump. The once proud firm has been ridiculed by Trump, criticized by judges, and has started losing partners. Now the right-wing is looking to cash the check it wrote to pay off Trump. It may complain, but it will cave.

West Point graduates this morning sat through a commencement speech about having courage given by a treasonous convicted felon who also happens to be a 5x draft dodging coward who has never served anyone but himself. Depraved, despicable and embarrassing.

Trump has declared that he will add a 50% tariff on Europe on June 1st. The US heavily relies on an export economy and Europe is its biggest customer. This new move is part of an ongoing pattern of market manipulation and stock pump & dump by the Trump regime and its collaborators.

I miss journalists, Trump staged an assassination attempt that a five year-old could figure out was fake and NYT’s thinks we need Ezra Klein interviewing Jake Tapper. The failure of MSM wasn’t in covering Biden’s age it was in ignoring Trump’s crimes for the last forty years.

I don’t mean to be a caricature, but this just isn’t law. The Supreme Court is always making policy. But this is beyond. “This dicta in an emergency order will reassure the markets but just uh trust us on the law here ok no we’re not overruling Humphrey’s yet and when we do we’ll spare the fed.”

There's a hidden provision in that big ugly bill that makes Trump king www.alternet.org/trump-bill-k... The bill passed by House GOP would disarm all courts including SCOTUS and make Trump immune from following any injunctions or being held in contempt.Trump would be King and Dictator. #ProudBlue

The 3-Justice Kagan dissent is devastating. But the unsigned majority has carried the day, not by force of reason or precedent but by fiat. Congress’s power to create independent agencies hangs by a thread. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The Supreme Court today allowed Trump to temporarily remove the leaders of two independent agencies, setting up a direct challenge to the legal principle that limits a president’s power to fire officials at will.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

One of the last things President Biden said to us in his farewell speech was "big things are coming. Never forget we did this together." He knew this POS would try to take credit for it.
