Blatant corruption on full display.

When political pundits use baseball and football analogies, my ears close. Little could be more trivializing than comparing the affairs of state to a sports game – and it's precisely their belief that politicians are simply playing games that alienates and angers much of the public.

Lawrence O'Donnell is a master of political apologetics. I don't mean this as a compliment. I care more about political ethics than political strategy. And for what it's worth, I'm tired of hearing dubious comparisons to the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson.

You can bear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution or MAGA, but you can’t do both. The name should really be MUGA: Make Un-Americans Gripe Again.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This agent’s behavior is disgustingly unprofessional and inexcusable. He should be fired and the charges with assault. What’s became of America?

The British Labour Party needs to send someone out to find its lost conscience.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer should be ashamed for sending King Charles and the Royal Family on a forced playdate.

"Morning Joe" shouldn't be confused with a news broadcast.

Imagine what social media could be if people only posted verified stories and commented on things they knew something about.

If I live to be as old as Methuselah, I'll never understand what anyone saw in him.

"Spittle doesn't lick itself. " – Charlie Sykes on today's meeting of the Trump Sycophancy.

No President has ever sought to interfere more in the affairs of private companies than Donald Trump. How do so-called free market conservatives not see this? Or the transparent racism of his views?

An attention-seeking opportunist even in retirement.

Trump is bullying Canada over ‘digital taxes’ and Canada caved | Joseph Stiglitz The question now: will countries cave in to these threats or stick together and collect the billions they are rightly owed?

Disgusting! It’s becoming impossible to tell the difference between ICE and violent street gangs.

Take note.

From Fort Bragg to L.A., Trump enlists the military in a slow-motion coup | Will Bunch Trump’s abuse of the military to control civilians, as tanks roll into D.C., is where this was always heading.

Trump's military moves - the political Fort Bragg speech, L.A. troop call-up, tanks in D.C. for a Kremlin-style parade - aren't 'a distraction'

It's the essence of his regime, and he's pulling a slow-motion coup to crush all dissent and take control

America’s descent into fascism continues.

“One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn’t the same …”

Petty and vindictive – that’s the nicest thing that can be said about this fascist administration.

Arlene, I read your words and couldn’t get to sleep. So I got up to reply that while I understand how you may be feeling about humanity right now, and share those feelings, I needed to let you know that, time and again, you have restored my faith in humanity. You have always been the Decent Dragon.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

For years, I thought Donald Trump should be in prison; now, I think he should be in an insane asylum.

One man … and his sycophantic enablers and gullible followers. Let’s not absolve those responsible for letting this happen.
