Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Buttigieg: I’ll give the Turning Point folks a lot of strategic credit for going to a lot of different places. Going to these college campuses is kind of the equivalent, in their minds, of the way I feel when I go on Fox News.

The difference is, when I go on Fox News, I’m telling the truth

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Apparently like every day.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.

DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.

My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.

DOJ is now 0-5.

My firm is 5-0.

Lesson: When we fight we win.

ICE And The Absence Of Accountability Earlier this month, at the notorious state-run immigration detention facility in Florida dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by state officials, there was another incident.

In Maine, ICE brazenly called their operation “catch of the day.” The banal inhumanity of it all is overwhelming. The deaths, the injuries, the conditions in detention, the brazen disregard for people’s rights, including American citizens. And it’s still happening.

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:

Life comes at you fast

Roger Sollenberger: Péter Magyar, the new Hungarian prime minister, says CPAC was paid by the Hungarian government and will not be any longer

Oh my what a Schlapp in the face this is

Donald Trump posted this on Truth Social tonight after putting up a post that lambasted the Pope. This is delusional.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Trump attacks Pope Leo, calling him 'terrible' for foreign policy and 'weak' on crime U.S. President Donald Trumpattacked Pope Leo ​XIV late on Sunday following the pontiff's criticism of his foreign and immigration policies.

"Pope Leo is WEAK ​on Crime and terrible for Foreign Policy," ​Trump wrote in a lengthy screed on Truth Social. Says “I’m not a fan of Pope Leo.”

His thought process is completely convoluted. Trump now has yet another formidable person living rent free in his warped, disturbed head.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán concedes defeat after 'painful' election result Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has conceded defeat after what he called a ″painful″ election result, ending 16 years in power for a powerful figure in the far-right movement allied with U.S.

BREAKING: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán concedes defeat

This is a major victory for democratic values. Trump and MAGA are next.

One of the ways news media often fail us is by giving us the microscopic rather than the telescopic view. Everything I mention in this essay is well-documented, but the dots are mostly not connected to make visible this death by a thousand cuts our country is undergoing.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Here’s Trump pretending to be the defender against fertilizer prices going up when it was his dumb, unnecessary Iran war that caused those prices to spike. This will result in higher food prices.

BREAKING: @democracydefendersfund.org is demanding a CFTC investigation into anonymous traders who netted millions on suspiciously timed bets on US military actions—Iran ceasefire, Venezuela invasion & more

Alleged insider trading on war plans IS a national security threat

CFTC must act now - TN

So much ‘winning.’

The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

Reporting is now coming to light that she may be trying to get ahead of some damaging information in either upcoming articles or books.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

This, my friends, is an attempt, and a pretty lame one, to distract from the awful strategic handling of the Iran war and Pam Bondi’s Congressional subpoena re: the Epstein files. #EpsteinFiles

La grift. La grift. Toujours la grift. He’s lost his damn mind. This is clinically delusional. If you think this is somehow deal making you are as much of the problem as he is. The country should not have to be subjected to this any longer. Impeach him and remove him from office.

A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.

Reminder this guy is still doing the worst possible stuff to our most vulnerable
