And instead of projecting seriousness in the role, he leans into the spotlight.
One day it’s warnings about national security. The next it’s viral clips of him drinking beer with the U.S. Olympic hockey team. Less discipline, more performance.

In the 1990s, the working class of this country was told that unfettered free trade would create millions of new jobs and raise wages.
As many of us understood then, that claim was a lie.
Now they’re being sold the same false promises about AI.
The rich are getting richer, while everyone else is left in the dirt.
While the ultra-rich get even richer, families are getting squeezed by a rigged economy.
It's time for the government to stop listening to the richest of the rich and start working for working people.
Don’t believe the lies you hear about immigrant and undocumented workers.
The real villains are the greedy corporations that want workers fighting one another while they rake in record profits at all workers’ expense. https://youtu.be/4u_HwUn4bYQ?si=QW7tUu6SRTAremKY
Kevin Warsh wants to lead America’s central bank.
Why does he have more than $100 million in undisclosed assets?
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands...may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison
Draft-dodging Donald loves sending other people's children to war.
It’s National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, when we honor the extraordinary role 9-1-1 operators play in emergency response.
I introduced bipartisan legislation to modernize 9-1-1 systems and help call centers handle texts, photos, and videos during an emergency.
Over 30 years ago we lost 168 men, women, and children in one of the worst acts of domestic terrorism we’ve ever seen. Thinking of Oklahoma City today and the resilience they’ve shown in the decades since.
They have been doing this since the Great Recession. It’s so ingrained now and has contributed to skyrocketing costs
It’s becoming far too common for corporate landlords to buy up single-family homes by the thousands, pricing out hardworking people from owning a home. We’ve got to crack down on these predatory practices and build more housing.
Here’s a thought. Spend a day each month in your district with $50 cash and that’s all you for the day get to eat. Get to work. And pay your bills. Education done.
None of those dept heads were there to run a functioning govt. they are there to destroy it from the top down so unaccountable people can be a dictator and destroy our country
The Strait of Hormuz seems close to reopening, But high gas prices are likely to hang around. At the same time electricity prices are rising fast as AI continues to grow. High energy prices can hammer economic growth. #gasprices #straitofhormuz #iran
Warren: $3 billion for Meta paid for by people being pushed off their health care. And you're the one who said [that's a] “really good outcome.” Bisignano: It is a really good outcome for the American public here. Warren: I think we’ve just seen the values of the Trump administration, loud and clear.
The Trump IRS CEO thinks it's a “really good outcome” for families to lose their health care to pay for Meta's tax cuts.
Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.
Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%.
Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.
But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...
As William Gibson predicted
Yesterday, a group of lawmakers launched the Anti-Corruption and Democracy Task Force in an effort to root out corruption in D.C. and empower voters.
We look forward to working with this group of leaders as they try to reform our broken system.
While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.
Yes, $30 million per HOUR.
All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

Peter Thiel and Balaji Srinivasan are funding an app to attack journalists.
Getting smeared by "Objection AI" will become a badge of honor for reporters.
I'm glad to see them deepening their relationship just in time for my book, which exposes that very subject.
"The Nerd Reich" drops 8/18/26.
I’m holding the Senate floor tonight in protest of legislation that would allow a copper-nickel sulfide mine on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters.
Not this mine. Not this place.
Good !! It’s worth more than international copper acid crap
Your Tax Day reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor.
Don't let billionaires fool you into thinking we shouldn't tax the rich.
If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:
Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M
That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.
It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
We’re over a month into this war and the costs have been immeasurable. This week, I’m updating you on the four key issues I am thinking about as this war rages.
Arizona families are being outbid for starter homes by hedge funds. We can’t let Wall Street turn our neighborhoods into their personal investment portfolios. We need to ban these practices and put families first again.
Internal Space Force emails obtained by 404 Media show the work it takes to have a government agency make a new theme song. A general even wanted to start the whole thing over again.
Elon Musk’s $78 million private jet? He can write that off. Jeff Bezos’ $500 million mega-yacht? He can write that off, too.
It’s a scam.
This is why billionaires buy politicians — to rewrite the rules and rig the system for themselves.
Today is Tax Day.
This year, nearly every American will pay more in taxes — except for billionaires.
For 50 years, billionaires have bought politicians to rewrite the tax code in their favor. Here’s how:
Nothing says "America is Back Baby!" like "Allbirds became an AI hardware middleman because they wanted to pump their stock instead of going into bankruptcy, so they said they will find some computer chips somewhere, but can no longer sell shoes."
