JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Marcy makes a very nice point here. If Trump asserted that Special Counsel Jack Smith—who was in charge of just two cases against basically one person—was a principal officer who required Senate confirmation, then how could Co-President Musk—who’s remaking the entire government—be anything less?

The fact that NBC can (accurately) call the Administrative Procedure Act “obscure” just shows how little Americans know about how their government works. It literally is one of the most important laws ever enacted by Congress.

Just in the last 24 hours, Trump has ordered the DOJ to stop enforcing anti-bribery laws for foreign officials. -Pardoned ex-Gov. Blagojevich, convicted of corruption. -Had his DOJ drop corruption charges against NYC Mayor Adams. Donald Trump is the swamp.

Another deep wound inflicted against American medicine, science and health by Musk’s juvenile night crew of data thieves following the Project 2025 playbook, which Trump disavowed in the campaign.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it should be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

LOL. So the “$50 million for condoms to Gaza” that Trump and his people have been ranting about actually went to a province called “Gaza” in Mozambique, Southern Africa—not the Gaza Strip in the Middle East. A bunch of incompetent clowns are running the country🤡🤡

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you." Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid. This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.
