Maybe I’m naive but can’t judge Boasberg find the ice Barbie in contempt for violating his order? In that case he could use court deputies to arrest and throw her ass in Alligator Alcatraz or some similar DHS accommodation.

Tell Congress to Pass War Powers Resolution to Prevent War on Venezuela Congress may soon be voting on a war powers resolution on Venezuela, and has a responsibility to vote Yes. Tell them so!

Let's be honest about Charlie Kirk's life — and death — Vox In the days since the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, the overwhelming response on the left has been shock and horror. No one of prominence has justified the killing; hundreds, from Democ...

I’m more than fed up with hearing the term radical left in every hateful right wing comment about the Kirk assassination.

He was not a saint and we are not monsters…

Trump Exempts Smartphones, Other Electronics From Chinese Tariffs The step back was announced in a late Friday filing with Customs and Border Protection.

Just one more example of Trump’s favoring the oligarchs in his tariff policy. While the reprieve is good for Apple or Samsung, what happens to all the small businesses that must pay the obscene 125% tariffs? Bankruptcies!

A Step-by-Step Look at How Trump’s New Tariffs Will Be Implemented Companies are scrambling to prepare for President Trump’s new reciprocal tariffs to take effect at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.

I worked as an international freight forwarder in Paris in the early eighties before the EU. The trading regime was much simpler than Trump’s monstrosity, but the bottlenecks always occurred calculating duties. Simply put there are not enough forwarders. Trade will stop.

Could someone please explain to me why we even want manufacturing jobs? That would be a return to the nineteenth century good jobs, not the type of job most people are clamoring for. This is the twenty first century and tarifs won’t create twenty first century jobs.

What Ketamine Does to the Human Brain Excessive use of the drug can make anyone feel like they rule the world.

As if we didn’t have enough to worry about with Elon Musk and his adolescent behavior, now we learn that the man uses ketamine, quantity TBD. This is a powerful drug that causes disassociate mental behavior, which would go a long way to explain DOGE.

Trump says Canada, Mexico tariffs to take effect on Tuesday; stocks tumble U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada will take effect on Tuesday, stoking fears of a trade war in North America and sending financial markets reeling.

How does Trump think this insanity advances his agenda? Slapping 25% tariffs on our closest trading partners will not end well, assuming it doesn’t start a world wide trade war.

Opinion | Trump said Zelenskyy ‘does not have the cards’. But how well is he playing his own hand? — Guardian US The US president has no interest in countering aggressors. His short-termist game plan will cost America dear, says political researcher Olga Chyzh

Trump is bluffing, and to use his analogy is playing a bad hand. Ronald Reagan must be violently thrashing in his grave to think an American president would grovel to the leader of the country he did so much to resist.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

The Zelenskyy meeting is smoke and mirrors for the Friday night news dump. The real story is the attack on the Social Security Administration with personnel cuts that will cripple the program they can’t otherwise touch.

A tiny trump figure in a chair next to a towering Zelensky captures the puny spirit of Trump's cowardice and Russian capitulation.

Clay Bennett nails it.

In a case of not billionaires are made the same. Musk’s Tesla paid no federal income taxes in the last five years. Meanwhile Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway paid $26.8 billion in 2024 alone - the most ever paid by a US corporation. Buffet asked that it be spent on the needy.
