I noted yesterday that we would do well to describe what role the actions Trump is performing, rather than assuming he is functioning as President.
Mostly, Trump is an old man retreating into his lifelong hobbies: construction, cons, and corruption. With lots of golf.
The entire reason the Republican party even exists is inefficiencies in the U.S. electoral and parliamentary systems. It is a party based upon doing nothing by creating failure--and then running against said failures.
A reminder that Don Jr.’s brother, Eric Trump, invoked the Fifth Amendment over 500 times in 2020 during his testimony in the New York Attorney General’s civil fraud investigation into Trump Org’s finances.
His dad, Donald Trump, invoked the 5th more than 400 times during his deposition.
Trump shuts down the investigation into his own 'assassination' attempt. #MAGA why would he do that? Think hard on that, I'll wait.🤔
They don’t kill one bull in a bullfight; it’s nine. Each of three matadors fight three bulls. And if the matador fails, they stab the bull between the eyes. So yes, so much animal abuse.
Remember when Trump literally had fake electors try to overturn the election?
Nothing happened to them. This is a federal crime. Why haven’t they been prosecuted?
Maryland will soon be the first U.S. state to ban "surveillance pricing," the practice of using ad tracking technologies to raise prices for individuals: www.scrippsnews.com/life/money/m...
For anyone questioning why we're in a war with Iran.
Benjamin Netanyahu is allowed in the situation room, and Donald Trump isn’t. That should answer the question.
A big Democratic tent must include socialists and centrists. You cannot defeat fascism otherwise.
Barack Obama sent a very clear message on Saturday.
It's a $400 million pay-to-play scheme built into a legal structure specifically designed to hide who's paying.
BlackRock, Nvidia and Jeff Yass were hidden donors. The White House is responsible for identifying donors and specifying if they want to remain anonymous. There are no conflict of interest requirements.
Amazon donated and has billions in federal contracts. ArcelorMittal donated $37M in European steel Trump cut their tariffs two days later. No conflict of interest requirements. $400 million. Anonymous. Legal.
🧵 The secret White House ballroom contract was revealed today. It explicitly preserves donor anonymity. Nothing prevents donations from companies with federal contracts.
You got it. Straight up admitted he will lie for Trump. Republicans will confirm him.
Well, if i gave Donald anything other than an A, he would summon me because I would've hurt his self-image.
Did I get that right?
"I'm willing to lie to make the President feel better" should invoke a unanimous consent on the spot and he should be removed from consideration.
He does
"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."
The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!
Culpeper Virginia. Population 20,000. Town council voted unanimously to urge federal Epstein investigation "regardless of prominence or privilege." Norway's parliament. Georgia's legislature. Now Culpeper. The pressure builds everywhere except Washington.
Trump told you he’d run America like a business.
He is.
It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.
Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

If a 'former' intelligence officer is telling you 'secrets' on a top-rated talk show, it’s not a leak. Ask yourself why they’re suddenly allowed to speak.
At the WHCD in 2013(I think it was 2013), Conan O’Brien roasted Jake Tapper for “leaving journalism to join CNN”, and I didn’t realize at the time how well that was going to age.
He’s not winning and he’s failing to convince most people that he is. He’s seen the polls out today 😂
The Rs motto: As long as you blame anyone except the one's at fault, the people who no longer can think for themselves will always believe it.
So China & Tesla don’t steal all the headlines, Volvo Trucks (Volvo Group) quietly put 5,000+ electric trucks into real-world deployment, logging 100+ million zero-emission miles over the past five years.
Not under Geely. Not hype. This is happening. EV trucks are scaling everywhere, all at once.
This is the third high profile alleged case of this:
Karolyin Leavitt's brother's baby mama
Amanda Ungaro (baby mama to Paolo Zampolli
And this
Leavitt's brother's effort to deport his son's mother thus far has failed AFAIK.
I’m a broken record on this but Trump’s firewall from 2016-2025 was voter trust in his handling of the economy. Not MAGA culture wars. That firewall has now been breached, and his overall approval is sinking to unusual levels. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
This is something I've been hoping Dems do for some time. Hold the Senate GOP accountable for every incompetent the confirmed, and the destruction of American lives that resulted, but also for the oversight not exercised, especially over Iran.
Jerusalem Post: Despite a “ceasefire” the IDF is giving orders to open fire on everyone in Southern Lebanon trying to go home — “Even if the person is unarmed… based on the idea that there are no civilians left in Southern Lebanon.”
