Thanks to Trump's blasphemies, Democrats have a chance to finally narrow the "god gap" Only one problem: They rarely miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

My latest. Trump has created an opening for Dems that's wider than the Strait of Hormuz.

"[Trump's] destroying his own base. He's destroying his own credibility. He's destroying his own power. And even though that means he's more dangerous, because he's going to be more desperate, I think we can see a path—a difficult path—but a path that can be traversed with great determination."

"We have to impeach and remove [Trump], and it's not separate from all the issues that we need to address on an economic level for people here in this district and elsewhere. Because we can't accomplish any of that until he's gone."

Terrible news.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Our schools don't teach civics anymore. That's a big reason why we wound up with Trump. Tyrants thrive when people are "functionally illiterate" about democracy.

My latest. This seems obvious but worth 950 words.

Unless he kills us all first.

Yet another reminder (among many) that someone who hits a teeny white ball can also be a giant asshole.

Trump imagines negotiation with Sharpie maker for $5 signature pens Trump told a lengthy story about negotiating over the price of Sharpie pens. The company says it has no record of any such conversation.

Trump told a lengthy story last week about negotiating over the price of Sharpie pens.

The company says it has no record of any such conversation.

"We don't have any information about the conversation described."

Richard Nixon doesn't look so bad after all! Corrupt and paranoid, yes. But light years more enlightened than the current guy.

My latest. Some historical perspective.

Check out the fascizzzzt.

Robert Mueller was the best of America Duty, public service, selfless sacrifice. Trump has no clue what those are.

I suspect that, deep down in Trump’s damaged depraved psyche, where perhaps Dr. Melfi in "The Sopranos" could effectively probe, perhaps with the help of sodium pentathol, there is a wee spark of realization that he couldn’t hold Mueller’s pen if it were duct-taped to his fingers.

Fill 'er up! Were paying a big price at the pump for the incompetent warlord's bloodlust With '26 elections looming, will motorists connect dot A to dot B?

Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries — including China — to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe.

A galactic humiliation.

Oh, you mean the Trump Admin handed a huge victory to a chief geopolitical rival, one it is now begging to send warships to the Persian gulf to help extricate itself from a self-inflicted political catastrophe?

The MAGA chicken hawk and his bumbling minions are bombing us with BS Rank deceptions and slippery wordplay. His bone spurs are acting up.

An open letter to MAGA cultists: Your "peace" prez just went to war. It's time for you to enlist! You bought his BS, so get out there on the battlefield and own it.

Rep. Garcia: “A survivor that has made serious accusation and allegations against not just Jeffrey Epstein but also against President Trump…We have seen the DOJ files and the archive manifest that clearly shows that the interviews and information around this survivor have been removed."

In Rep. Tony Gonzales, Republicans have a sexual predator in their midst who relentlessly pursued a married staffer which ultimately resulted in her suicide, and they refuse to do anything about it because they need his vote.

That is the 2026 Republican Party.

And why did it take them 9 days to pick up on the New Republic story?

The idea that this is the Supreme Court declaring their independence from Trump and not just the free-market conservative justices drawing a line at a personal ideological and policy preference that is more deeply held than unitary executive theory is…. A take, I guess.

Nostalgia alert! Pedophile protector Pam Bondi makes me pine for stolid Janet Reno. Imagine having an Attorney General who was so independent, she pissed off her president.

Q: "Does this post maybe hurt Republicans with black voters?"

Trump: "No…A staffer posted. I knew it was all about. If you take a look at that and see the whole thing, it was a small section at the very end…I didn't do it by the way, this was done by somebody else."

Can Republicans Find a Winning Message on the Economy? By now, it’s quite obvious that Republicans have a political problem when it comes to the economy. More than 55% of Americans now disapprove of the job President Donald Trump is doing on the economy, ...

Right now, Republicans are far from unified around a single economic message — a dangerous political place to be on the issue most important to voters.
