I am a Democrat so I’m not a conservative quack. I’m 75 years old and disabled. I have a twin sister and I am living with my older daughter who lives in Vermont.

Pretty sure most people in Maryland (and most people in America, actually) would trade that $4billion for a president that does what he said he'd do, without killing citizens or putting the nation and it's people in the firing line of his twisted version of reality.
$4billion for impeachment. yup.

You didn’t have to listen to Trump’s rambling speech last night to know that Republicans are trying to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote—especially married women.

They’ve already made it clear.

Reckless is the only way to describe Donald Trump's war with Iran.

He’s a wrecking ball president.

James Talarico’s victory in the Texas Democratic Senate primary shows the power of a class-focused political message. His campaign emphasized economic populism and working-class unity rather than traditional Democratic Party messaging or identity politics.

Hopefully, the system doesn't crush him.

Marylanders deserve a refund.
YouTube video by Governor Wes Moore Marylanders deserve a refund.

Trump’s illegal tariffs cost Maryland’s businesses and consumers up to an estimated $4 billion.

Judge rules companies are entitled to refunds

Judge Richard Eaton wrote that "all importers of record'' were "entitled to benefit'' from the Supreme Court ruling that struck down double-digit import taxes Donald Trump imposed last year.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Merz offers up an unmistakable warning to the US in his MSC speech: Your power is not what it once was. China is gaining ground. The strategy set out in the NSS will accelerate this trend. If you go it alone, you will run up against your limits. Europe rejects MAGA free speech and tariffs.

☢️🇩🇪🇫🇷 Merz has announced the start of confidential talks on nuclear deterrence with Macron.

He said it would be integrated into NATO nuclear cooperation and there would be no zones with security levels in Europe.

“Europe has entered a new phase of open conflict that is changing our world.”

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

A fact that sounds like bullshit but is actually true:

There is more square footage of parking *per car* in the US than there is square footage of housing *per person.*

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
