Trump may not technically be a king, but he does have some king-esque qualities...

If you can’t win, why not cheat, that seems to be the MAGA playbook. The Republican-controlled North Carolina Senate has passed a new congressional map in a 26-20 vote, setting up an expected final vote in the state House.

The East Wing was first added in 1942, under Franklin D. Roosevelt, primarily to provide office space for the First Lady’s staff and to conceal a newly built underground bunker known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) during World War II.

'I'm not going anywhere': Chicago mayor responds to Trump's call for him to be jailed YouTube video by CNN

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson standing up to Trump’s attacks on his city - and on Johnson personally - with a level of coolness and dignity that can’t be easy under the circumstances. The leadership & people of Chicago are giving us the model of how to take on authoritarians. youtu.be/MAeWwW7ItCw

Baltimore’s homicide and violent crime rates are approaching all-time lows. So why is Trump threatening to send the National Guard in?

Mayor Brandon Scott's hunch: Because the city is Democratic and Black-led.

It never stopped being birtherism Donald Trump is repackaging a familiar smear against Zohran Mamdani.
