Like Scarborough, Maher visited trump just to take a measure of the man. No, they were bending the knee, or better yet just bending over.

Our infrastructure plan is focused on improving facilities to better serve those who serve us. That’s why I’m proposing $3 million for the first phase of a new hangar for our airmen at the 148th Fighter Wing.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

No revenues but at the same time people here are curtailing their purchases and investments, and other countries are collecting tariffs on U.S. imports. The worst of all worlds! Only a stable genius could have accomplished all this!!

Soo, Supreme Ct says unanimously that the Trump government must facilitate the return of man wrongfully being held FOR the USA in another country. Then this morning the Trump govt refuses to tell the Court where the man currently is. Time to get Rubio, Noem, and Biondi in the courtroom under oath.

Americans thinking they have won over China really shows how little Americans know about China. Fox News might feed the propaganda. But the reality for America is dire to say the least. If this really escalates. China will play hardball. China will do two things

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.

@jonlemire.bsky.social All it takes to end trump's tariff policy is for a journalist to look into the camera and sternly say "HE CAVED!"

There are a lot of bright shiny things to chase every day with Donald Trump. The principle of a free press has to remain among our North Stars. Attacks on the press are an attack on democracy itself. Yesterday a judge stood up to Trump & ordered him to stop. joycevance.substack.com/p/trump-vers...

"The current leadership of the Department of Justice are all people who worked as Trump’s personal attorneys, and it does not appear that they have made the shift in mindset to their new role, which is serving the American people, not serving the president personally. And that is very concerning."

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Office—he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Office—he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror
