Oh, he’s in there all right. I just hope his powerful pals in power (like Pam Bondi) don’t doctor the files and present us with a super-redacted phony version to vindicate Trump.
In a show of solidarity, several of Stephen Colbert's peers appeared on Monday night's Late Show to show support following CBS's decision to cancel the iconic show. Thanks, Jon Stewart, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and Andy Cohen, along with Anderson Cooper, & Adam Sandler.
Stacey Abrams lays it all out. You can see why Trump and his toady press secretary had meltdowns.
Stacey Abrams elucidates the stages a country goes through on the road to autocracy. This brilliant warning about Donald J. Trump caused Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s press secretary (AKA Bullshit Barbie) to flip out completely and call Abrams “stupid,” which couldn’t be further from the truth.
No Kings Day, Beaverton, Oregon. A large spirited anti-Trump rally after a particularly horrific week in America. There were rallies in all 50 states, in small towns and big cities, and it went beyond red and blue politics. This was more about right vs wrong.
Trump’s self-glorifying military birthday Saturday will cost us roughly $45 million and look like something in Russia or North Korea with rolling tanks and missiles and dictator-sized photos of our scowlng leader, but there will also be protests in all 50 states. See you there! Let freedom ring!
See you Saturday!
Yes
No contest) or no wonder Trump hates Harvard)
"I'm sorry I don't have a plane to give you," South African President Cyril Ramaphosa told Trump during a tense Oval Office meeting.
Trump's "big beautiful bill" passed after spineless Speaker Johnson satisfied GOP hardliners. Apparently, the bill's Medicaid cuts weren’t devastating enough, so they made it worse. Someone’s got to pay for Trump’s tax breaks for billionaires, so why not the poor, the retired, and the needy?
It's been a great couple days with Trump's big failure in the Supreme Court and his "big, beautiful bill" going down in flames--his deranged Tweets whining about Springsteen, Taylor Swift, and Robert De Niro after they publicly denounced him--and this plantation from slavery days burning down.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants last month in its rushed effort to expel them to El Salvador in the middle of the night (which SCOTUS blocked). Alito and Thomas dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
I’m surprised Trump didn’t pardon this guy.
BREAKING: Disclosure forms show that Trump’s US Attorney General, Pam Bondi, sold between $1 million and $5 million worth of shares on April 2. That day, after the market closed, Trump’s “Liberation Day” press conference sent the market tumbling. (Sure looks like insider trading to me.)
Meanwhile, this jackass is cutting our Medicaid.
“In my country, we are fighting like hell for the democracy we once took for granted,” he said. “That affects all of us here, because art is the crucible that brings people together, like tonight. Art looks for truth. Art embraces diversity. That’s why art is a threat.”
Call it corruption, call it a bribe, but America is definitely up for sale under President Donald J. Trump. Also available: crypto-coins, signed bibles, golden sneakers, Trump 2028 hats, and U.S. citizenship (as long as you’re not black or brown).
Trump wants a massive military parade for his birthday, but let’s not spend tax dollars on Old Bonespurs’ ego trip—he was never in the military, and cut VA benefits, and insulted Gold Star families. No Trump military parade! This isn’t a dictatorship like Russia or China and hopefully never will be.
Just to be absolutely clear about what we truly value, minus the spin. Thanks, Betty!
