I have a new phrase. Chrino. Christian in name only.

trump raised tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum, thus raising the costs of building a car in the US. How should automakers deal with increased costs other than by raising prices?

A greater con artist than Phineas T. Barnum.

I keep thinking about what they are taking the country back to.

1950s, before Civil Rights.

1930s, before the social safety nets.

1900s, before the FDA.

Next it will be 1850, and we'll have slavery again.

Heather Cox Richardson is being silenced on Facebook. She is a historian who writes daily about what is happening in Washington. I have been following her for years. Her posts are disappearing due to anti-DEI.

Canada has cut off relations and Europe is discussing a boycott on US goods.

I knew it was going to be bad. I never dreamed it was going to be this bad this fast.

Jackie Robinson's military career also vanished.

Ah yes, Law and Order republicans at their best.

Is he sure they weren't following him?

Thank you. I was wondering if anyone was going to point that out.

I've noticed that the usual Sunday night photos haven't been appearing, but with the chaos being perpetrated in Washington, you've been hard pressed to cope. Here's some love to keep you going.

Did he say "National Security" or "Lebensraum"?

After the mess at the White House, trump was apparently heard screaming that he was supposed to win the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing an end to the war. He's not going to get that prize.

He's a vile hypocrite.

This is what the country has descended to; helping sex traffickers. I'm surprised they're still withholding the Epstein files; I'm sure trump would love to see his picture there.

They tried to bury us. They did not know we are seeds.

THE ASK This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity. DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP'S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how: 1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The vast majority of illegal aliens do their very best to remain law-abiding and non-violent, because the last thing they want is to attract the attention of law enforcement.

I suspect that no country in the world will trust us for decades after this.

Kash Patel confirmation hearing: Dick Durbin asks Patel if he’s familiar with Stew Peters—a right-wing fringe conspiracy theorist. Patel: <long pause> Not off the top of my head. Durbin: You’ve made eight appearances on his podcast.

Checking in on Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing:

Statement graphic that reads: “Donald Trump is stealing from taxpayers to fund tax cuts for billionaires, and House Republicans are celebrating. Trump is illegally taking money from child care, veterans, community health centers, police, firefighters, and schools — all bipartisan funding for the American people. “The consequences of the Republicans’ betrayal will be swift: higher costs for parents, cuts for first responders, no school lunches for hungry kids, families and veterans without housing, homes without heat, and businesses unable to meet payroll. “This is all part of Donald Trump’s plot to enrich himself and his billionaire cronies while leaving everyday Americans to foot the bill. First, he fired the inspectors general charged with fighting corruption. Now, he’s tossing aside the Constitution to seize money that belongs to taxpayers. “House Democrats will not allow Republicans to further rig the system against hardworking Americans. We will fight back.”

Donald Trump is stealing from taxpayers to fund tax cuts for billionaires, and House Republicans are celebrating.

My full statement:

I strongly suspect that the Nobel Prize Committee will give the Peace Prize to Biden for resolving the Gaza hostage crisis, and trump will have screaming fits about it.

Considering it was the republicans who introduced the 22nd Amendment, the one that allows only two terms, I find this hilarious.

I can't hit the heart symbol because I am too filled with rage.

The Anti-Defamation League insists it was a goodwill gesture of him offering his heart to his third country and the mean nasty Democrats deliberately misinterpreted it.

None of those people know the meaning of the word "ethics."

That was my first thought when I heard the news: he was afraid of not having the biggest crowd ever.

I thought his best performance was "Conrack," where he convinced me that he was NOT a racist.
