Trump’s corruption from his crypto dinners to his $400 million dollar plane is plain as day. The Democrats need to speak out about this every day. It is the largest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

You fought for habeas corpus, put it in your constitution, and now you’re just gonna let a game show host take it away? You’re not losing your rights. You’re handing them over.

HAPPENING NOW: Republicans are putting health care on the chopping block / X HAPPENING NOW: Republicans are putting health care on the chopping block

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid.

While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️

The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the American people, not a posh jet for one billionaire to use for the rest of his life. Pure graft.

Trump Will Regret Messing With Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers The president's bully politics are blowing up on him internationally, and threats to arrest a midwestern governor will produce domestic blowback.

Faced with the threat of arrest for offering Wisconsin state employees guidance on how to respond to potential abuses of power by the Trump administration, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers says: “I’m not afraid. I’ve never once been discouraged from doing the right thing and I will not start today.”

Canada is Great—and Trump Has Nothing to Do With it I owe Canada an apology.

The truth is, Canadian voters are just smarter than American voters.

They took a sober, objective look at the 100-day horror show this mentally-addled, incompetent, sociopathic dollar store dictator has curated and said, “To hell with that.”

Donald Trump knows that he owns these cowardly law firms. Here are a few recommendations:

Paul Weiss can litigate to bring children back in the mines.
Milbank can challenge clean air rules.
Willkie Farr can lead on spoiling the water.
Skadden is perfect to break the unions.

Shameful all.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

In the "personal news" department, this morning I let my colleagues know that I'm leaving The Washington Post. I'm retiring from my longtime journalistic home but not from journalism, and I'll keep you posted as I decide what my next chapter will be.

Democracy Docket is not on Substack. Yes, it's more difficult to get sign-ups and expensive to operate. But it's worth it. It has no corporate overlords. It is not dependent on investors. It only depends on you.

If this is what you value, support it today.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?
