The 22nd Amendment says it plain: “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.” Bannon on Bill Maher, straight-up said Trump’s going for a 3rd term — and they’ve got a “team” working to circumvent the Constitution. They’re not joking. They’re plotting. Believe them.

Grateful that @governor.pa.gov and his family are safe after an apparent act of arson at his residence. Acts of violence have no place in our politics. Those responsible should be held accountable.

THE UNITED STATES OF EXTORTION. Can someone please explain to me why no one calls it extortion? It's ALL extortion. The "perfect phone call" to Zelinsky that led to the first impeachment. Threats to universities, law firms, and yes, tariffs. Tariffs are yet another form of extortion. God help us.

Mass protests. GOP infighting. Court pushback. Democratic energy. Trump’s approval sinking. Robert Reich offers 12 small but real reasons for hope in the face of rising authoritarianism.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

What a fucking moron.

"The Truth is, These are Not Very Bright Guys, and Things Got Out of Hand"

Trump’s tariffs are hitting farmers hard — in ways you might not expect. This honey farmer voted for Trump 3X — now costs are through the roof, hiring’s frozen, and he’s lost $150K in government contracts. Asked if he regrets his 2024 vote? “Perhaps I should’ve considered other options.” NO SHIT!

A gaffe occurs when a politician tells the truth — some obvious truth he isn’t supposed to say. Rep. Kevin McCarthy [R-CA] explains: “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today?

Tariffs Set Off Wall Street's Steepest Plunge Since Last Time Trump Was President

“China has paid almost $700 billion in tariffs under me.” — at a National Republican Congressional Committee event on Tuesday [4/9/2025] Trump says foreign countries pay tariffs but that’s not true. Just another lie he has told hundreds of times.*

Maybe we are being occupied by people not-so-secretly working for Russia?

Warren: "Congress has a job right now, and that is to step up and take this authority away from Donald Trump."

“With the fake news, everything is Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid,” Mr. Trump complained. “That’s all I hear. Turn on television—’Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid.” Trump told his supporters at a campaign rally in Lumberton, North Carolina, on October 2, 2020.

#ProudBlue #MomSky So incredible!! Bernie at Coachella If this isn’t 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I don’t know what is. This is the way you message! Meet the people where they are

What a sadistic moron. open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

The Trump administration this week came up with a new reason to stop climate change research: It scares children.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Brooke Rollins blames Joe Biden for the fact that egg prices are spiking again in April 2025

Trump on law firms capitulating to his demands: "They're all bending and saying 'Sir, thank you very much,'" Trump said in March 2025. He added: "Law firms are just saying, 'Where do I sign? Where do I sign?'"

After several months of cutting government contracts, grants, leases and workers, Elon Musk seems to be realizing what budget nerds have long known: His oft-repeated goal of cutting $1 trillion from the federal budget through executive action alone is extremely difficult.

WELKER: Consumer confidence has plummeted. Inflation fears are at the highest level since 1981 NAVARRO: But we did have the greatest rally in stock market history for many decades last week WELKER: But it's down from when the president announced his policies overall

As the world warms, the US and other countries have seen an increase in the frequency of extreme rainstorms. The frequency is likely to rise as warming continues. One basic reason is that warmer air holds more moisture.

Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

World's Richest Man Buys USA Presidency for Less Than One Percent of What He Paid for Twitter! [$275M / $44B = 0.00625]

Imports from China have been hit with tariffs of 145%. That means for every $100 worth of goods a business buys, it has to pay $145 to the federal government. A federal sales tax.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

HASSETT: If you look at the latest jobs report, it was way, way above even what I expected TAPPER: You know the jobs data was from before the "liberation day"

Seems pretty clear that doge is a total scam

The North American Building Trade Unions are calling for the return of their member, Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who is the victim of human trafficking by our government.

So, the Trump admin was able to bring astronauts stuck in space back down to earth, but it won’t lift a finger to bring a Maryland dad they “oopsie” imprisoned in a gulag back from El Salvador? Do I have that just about right?

Bernie Sanders made an appearance at Coachella to introduce Clairo. "The future of what happens to America is dependent on your generation. Now, you can turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do that at your own peril.” Love this dude!

This sweet pup stole the hose... and just wants to give it back 😂🖤 🔊 📽️dogzig
