Opinion | All the Things Trump Thinks He Owns

"While Trump may want to be a king, it is still up to us, as Americans, whether we treat him like one..."

Social Security and Medicaid arenโ€™t red or blueโ€”theyโ€™re dignity or despair.

HANDS OFF these life-saving programs!

This is all going to come down to who controls the military. Dems better start polling senior military to find out what side they will be on. Do they support suborning their oath and the constitution? Or will they stand with the people and help throw the bum out? Violence is in our future.

You have to lock up everyone around Trump as soon as the regime is brought down. Especially Miller. Life in prison for all.

"Those kids have to come home first because otherwise you send a message that kids can be a bargaining chip..." Senator Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar.com explains that the return of Ukrainian children stolen by Vladimir Putin is more than just a matter of humanity and decency.

Worth a read. ๐Ÿ”ฝ
Given that the Supreme Court has ruled 9-0 that the Trump Administration has denied immigrants their constitutional due process right, one would think that would be good and sufficient reason for local city & state governments not to assist in that endeavor, no?

"It is a clear sign that this administration picked somebody who they think is unqualified and incapable of doing the job." @weissmann.substack.com reads between the lines on why the FBI needed a co-deputy director for Dan Bongino. (Rep. Goldman suggests what else might be going on.)

Psaki: The firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook "is a part of a larger pattern of Trump attempting to grab power ... He wants interest rates to rise and fall at his command, so he can juice the economy whenever he wants to for short term political gain."

"Scapegoat and a diversion" is how Sen. Elizabeth Warren casts Trump's firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook. "When the economy is slipping sideways, when costs are going up, to say it's their fault and not Donald Trump's fault."

"They at one time were against this." Indiana State Sen. Shelli Yoder says her Republican colleagues have begun to fold on their resistance to redistricting. "Slowly they've been falling in line."

"Acosta took what was a prepared, 60-count federal indictment that could have landed Epstein in prison for the rest of this life many times over, and turned it into the sweetest plea bargain in the world." Rep. Raskin previews why congressional Democrats are so eager to hear from Alex Acosta.

ELECTION RESULT from Alabama: Paul Prine, the former police chief of Mobile who was fired last year while facing a damning report about his departmentโ€™s use of force against Black residents, has lost the mayoral race.

He came in third, and will not move forward to the September runoff.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

'Champing at the bit': Newsom's labor allies plan redistricting ground game Powerhouse California unions and advocacy groups are gearing up for a massive campaign.

An expansive network of labor juggernauts and Democratic-aligned groups is pledging to help the campaign to gerrymander Californiaโ€™s congressional map with its ground game and field operation.

The televised multi-hour "Dear Mr. President, are you a great president or the greatest president?" cabinet meetings are just such an embarrassment for everyone involved. All the bad politics aside, these people have no self-respect.

THIS is the guy that Donald Trump has sent to Moscow multiple times to negotiate on behalf of the United States. And he talks about โ€œpeace through strengthโ€. THIS is strength? THIS is our tough negotiator? Zero foreign policy or diplomatic experience. To deal with Putin. Sheesh.

Iโ€™ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books Iโ€™ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after theyโ€™re gone.

I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.

Wouldn't it just be a damn shame if EVERYONE emailed their five accomplishments, or 5 thoughts, or insults for Elon, to OPM as they requested of federal employees, thereby crashing the site?

Sounds like good trouble to me. PASS IT ON.
