Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars.

I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.

The elections in Hungary have shown us one thing...If people show up—together, in massive numbers—change becomes inevitable. Autocrats don’t usually fall overnight. They are weakened slowly—by pressure from citizens, institutions, and one decisive force: overwhelming voter rejection at the ballot.

Fighting the Establishment, Supreme Court Corruption and Out of Touch Democrats

California Democrats are sick and tired of an establishment class that protects perverts, supports broligarchs, and refuses to listen to the majority that demands change.

Oh I'd love that for him!

“The Everglades detention center is a key site for Trump’s mass deportation regime. So it makes good sense that Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), after an unannounced visit to the facility last week, described it as a ‘monument to cruelty.’ The part reflects the whole.”

MS NOW: Are you prepared to go head to head with the federal government?

HENNEPIN COUNTY ATTORNEY MARY MORIARTY: We absolutely are

This is sick. The BWCA is an absolute treasure.

You thinking new SecDef Desantis?

Well, he does have personal experience in committing war crimes from his time at Gitmo.

It’s hard to believe, but JD Vance has somehow found a way to be even more incompetent than Trump.

A face plant. A very revealing one.

Prominent Republican member of Armed Services Committee.

He betrays absence of Congressional oversight.

Brennan also asked Turner about absence of any public hearings. His answer was aaaawful (that they've held hearings in past decades).

Agreed. Mostly just racism

Not once in this story does @politico.com mention that US factories employ ~89,000 fewer employees than a year ago.

That’s an abomination.

A win! A federal judge just ordered the government to hand over evidence from ICE agent Jonathan Ross’s killing of Renee Good.

Never in the history of our species has such enormous physical power been so recklessly, casually and clumsily wielded & threatened in the world.

It is blindingly contrary to humanity’s welfare that this orange menace is still permitted to occupy the presidency.

Shame on the GOP for enabling this.

Donald J. Trump + @realDonaldTrump • 23m Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP 961 1.12k 4.16k

I had to check but yes this is real

The casual crucifixions of Donald J. Trump America's current president welcomes comparisons to a persecuted Jesus Christ. But he shares similarities with a different person: the persecutor.

“What he really wanted, Trump said, was soaring black spikes baking in the hot sun — electrified, if possible — and tall enough that bloodied corpses of attempted climbers might dangle above the desert floor and send a message to others: do not defy me.”

The President of the United States commemorates Easter by threatening war crimes and dropping an F-bomb

We need a new president, immediately, insomuch as this one has lost all control over his faculties

Ugh I know....and Kegseth too 😡

WaPo Editorial: US cut aid to Africa. The continent proved resilient.

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

Textbook corporate greed.

OK, off early to this circus.

I’ll be in the Supreme Court courtroom today for the oral arguments over Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship.

There are no cameras and Trump is expected to attend, so subscribe to Law Dork to get my full report after I’m out of court: www.lawdork.com

If Trump signs an unconstitutional Executive Order to take over voting, we will sue. I don't bluff and I usually win.
