Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.
I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

This is not who we should be—but ICE is so desperate for stats they detain a woman who is legally applying for her green card, a scholarship college student who teaches Sunday School. Trump would have us believe he’s taking criminal aliens off the streets. It’s a lie www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...
Mike Turner reaching Porky Pig levels of stumbling here.
Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.
If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.
This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
"Republicans just voted to uphold an abortion ban for 462,000 women veterans—even in cases of rape, incest or if their health is endangered."
Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.
FUN FACT: Cases of mail voting fraud are extremely rare, accounting for only 0.000043% of total mail ballots cast, or about four cases out of every 10 million mail votes.

Organizers behind the nationwide ‘No Kings’ movement expect their biggest turnout yet on March 28. With more than 3,000 rallies planned across the country, the mass-protest movement against President Trump’s policies could grow even bigger. #Velshi
Our military is fighting a war Americans don't want, secret police are kidnapping and killing our neighbors, and the regime is trying to suppress the vote in the midterms.
Silence isn't an option. Join us on Saturday to make No Kings Day big, loud, and inescapable: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
My colleagues and I have tried seven times to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard while we negotiate how to rein in ICE, but Republicans blocked it every single time.
Wisconsin families deserve better.
Robert De Niro: I've played plenty of tough, scary guys in the movies. But you know what really scares the hell out of me? What the government, this government, our government is trying to do to take away our right to vote.

Elizabeth Warren destroys the SAVE Act: "Your driver's license will not allow you to vote in 45 of 50 states."
Senate Republicans are holding TSA, FEMA, and Coast Guard funding hostage to give more money to agencies that have killed Americans on our streets.
We can fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard without funding ICE and CBP.
Republicans just refuse to.
Tweet by Aaron Rupar quoting House Speaker Mike Johnson saying Republicans had a “hiccup” with Latino and Hispanic voters due to immigration enforcement being seen as overzealous, adding they are in “course-correction mode.” The image shows Johnson speaking at an event with a C-SPAN broadcast graphic.
I'm sorry, did he call the last 14 months of ICE abuses and murders a “little hiccup”?
👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

Epstein survivors raise their hands to signal they've been ignored by Trump's DOJ as AG Pam Bondi refuses to look at them
(Roberto Schmidt/AFP via Getty)
I’m not the Attorney General but I know the difference between “Lutnick has addressed this” and “has the DOJ spoken with him.” Pam Bondi has zero respect for Congress, the Constitution, or the American people. I’m praying for Dems to take back at least one house so subpoenas can start flying.
What does the Dow being over 50,000 have to do with the DOJ failing to comply with the law requiring release of the Epstein files, or failing to comply with court orders, or failing to investigate multiple officer-involved shootings? The lack of respect for Congress (and all of us) is astonishing
This group of monks has traveled 2,300 miles from Texas to our nation's capital, all in the name of peace. I had the privilege of being able to see them arrive in DC today, and I'm inspired by their courage and calls for peace at a time when we need it most.

This administration is a criminal administration.
Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."
