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?

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

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

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.

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

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

@booker.senate.gov made history yesterday.

He made genuinely β€œgood trouble.”

During his brilliant record-breaking filibuster, he asked β€œWhere does the Constitution live, on paper or in our hearts?”

All of us are called in our own way to answer that question by our actions, not just our words.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Tufts PhD student on visa arrested by immigration authorities, school says Rumeysa Ozturk is a Turkish national, according to her lawyer, Mahsa Khanbabai.

This arrest is the latest in an alarming pattern to stifle civil liberties.

The Trump admin is targeting students with legal status and ripping people out of their communities without due process.

This is an attack on our Constitution and basic freedoms β€” and we will push back.

If you’re on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter), your posts are a waste of time because all the air smells of Musk and his allies. It’s a propaganda machine, not a social media platform.
