Republicans went nuts and accused Biden of tyranny when he tried to cancel student debt.

Right now, their guy just imposed the biggest tax rise on Americans in modern history by fiat, unilaterally, with no congressional or judicial approval.

This is a real tweet posted by the official White House government account. Yes, really.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

A top White House aide calls a Senator who disagrees with Trump a traitor.

The Trump administration seizes and tries to deport a green card holder here legally who's been charged with no crime.

The Trump administration ignores laws governing hiring, firing, and spending.

The path to despotism.

No, Trumpism Can’t Be Fused with Reaganism Unless you’re willing misrepresent one or the other.

"Reagan was a zealous patriot, a gifted orator, and a statesman. Trump is a grifter, a humorless clown, and a dangerous demagogue. The very idea of a Trump-Reagan fusion is a grotesque calumny of the Gipper." Gabriel Schoenfeld from the archives: www.thebulwark.com/p/no-trumpis...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It’s remarkable how quickly the Trump team has sabotaged all the things that actually made the U.S. influential on the global stage.

Free trade economics, strong diplomatic networks and alliances, the soft power of democratic culture and values, the hard power of a competent military …

I think we should slap a big Trump sticker on that asteroid as this is happening now, for real, as we speak....only question of how much damage will it do to our country and the rest of the world.

He who rambles on about Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer’s dick size, windmill cancer, and turning Gaza into a real-estate play, and thinks he’s saving the county, should have his head examined.

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center?

Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him.

So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.
