How many times do you have to threaten military intervention before they take away your FIFA Peace Prize?

Where's the 24-7 coverage on Trump's declining health, inability to stay awake DURING TELEVISED events, cankles, two MRIs, and lack of stamina?

Where's Jake Tapper?

NYT?

Fox?

Corporate Media?

What Mamdani Gets About Trump When New York’s mayor-elect met with the authoritarian president, he didn’t waste time with denunciations. But he didn’t exactly hold back.

While it might seem like Mamdani backtracked on calling Trump a fascist, the remarkable thing is that he didn't recant a word, and Trump did not object. Trump allowed Mamdani's allegation to stand while acting meek. lnk.thebulwark.com/4iALUlB

'Astonishing': Critics aghast as Trump DOJ essentially tells judge to 'pound sand' The White House issued a cheeky response to a federal judge who ordered the Trump administration to return a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador last month.U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ruled Friday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation was illegal and unconstitutional. Garcia was de...

The Trump DOJ just told a federal judge to get bent after illegally deporting a man protected from removal. Their excuse? β€œNot our problem, he’s in El Salvador now.” This isn’t policyβ€”it’s lawless contempt for the Constitution. Fascists don’t follow ordersβ€”they shred them.

Senate Approves G.O.P. Budget Plan After Overnight Vote-a-Thon Republicans pushed through their blueprint for tax and spending cuts after Democrats forced them to cast politically painful votes into the early morning on every element of President Trump’s agenda.

GOP Sens. Collins (ME) and Murkowski (AK) and Hawley (MO) broke with their party to support a bipartisan amendment from Hawley and Wyden (D-OR) to eliminate the Medicaid cuts envisioned in Republicans' tax cuts and spending plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...

JD Vance claims that 40% of the people calling the Social Security system are β€œactually committing fraud.”

This is a preposterous and baseless lie.

Finally, a Democrat who doesn’t shy away from the obvious Republican end game: the end of democracy. This is no over-reaction, it’s terrifying reality.

All we need is proof of intent…and then let’s impeach.

As Trump, Musk and DOGE have done massive spending cuts and layoffs, as his tariffs have decimated our retirement/savings accounts, we taxpayers have paid $25 million so far this year for Trump to play golf. Think about that… οΏΌ

Even MAGAs Can’t Explain Trump’s Foreign Policy But strongmen the world over appreciate his weakening of American soft power.

"The purpose of Trump’s assault on the defenders of democracy in America and abroad is as vivid as it is terrifying: He sees no reason why democracy should restrain any leader, because he sees no reason why it should restrain him." www.thebulwark.com/p/even-maga-...
