Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

Mark Kelly: "They're tying themselves in knots trying to explain why what they're doing with regard to these drug boats is legal. It's questionable at best. One of our biggest allies, the UK, recently stopped sharing intelligence with us in the Caribbean because they question whether this is legal."

What do my clothes have to do with any of this

I’m not going to let Trump get away with this misleading post.

He left out the keyword “illegal.” To disobey “illegal” orders.

For example, if he gave an order to hang governor Newsom, this command should be disobeyed.

What Putin and Orban did to get rid of good government groups

And now he wants you to believe the guy who calls Putin “smart” and NATO “obsolete” would’ve stopped anything? Give me a break.

If you were looking to find easy scam targets it makes sense that you’d run an Elon supporter bot. Anyone still supporting that murderous fraud is ripe for the plucking.

How billionaires took over American politics The current concentration of wealth is unlike anything in history. So is billionaires’ involvement in politics.

Since 2000, political donations by the richest 100 Americans has shot up nearly 140 times. Together they spent more than $1 billion last year, crossing that threshold for the first time. @bethreinhard.bsky.social Naftali Bendavid Clara Ence Morse Aaron Schaffer www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

When you help preside over economic policy that is both inflationary and nonsensical and tell average Americans struggling with affordability that they should deal with it by finding a new place to live.

Gosh ! So Ukrainians should be ripped off by a gang of bullies that includes our very own president and say ….. thank you ?

I start thinking I live in the matrix !

Ukraine can't and won't accept the deal, and the rest of the world understands that. The only ones liking the deal are Russia and their lackeys.

Unless Russia completely withdraws and pays reparations, there is no peace.

Donald Trump is out with another unhinged attack on Ukraine as he pressures President Zelensky to accept his “Peace plan,” which amounts to Ukrainian capitulation:

“Ukraine leadership has expressed zero gratitude for our efforts.”

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Congrats to everyone who covered the obviously bad faith, unprecedentedly illegal, & wildly unconstitutional data theft & dismantling of the federal government by a billionaire criminal Nazi & his henchmen as a legitimate process of “government efficiency.” Truly, well done.

The reason why so many foreigners pose as MAGA influencers is because the formula is pretty basic. Post:

1. Immigrants cause 90% of our problems.

2. The other 10% are trans people.

3. Trump is the greatest.

4. All Dems are Marxists who hate America.

5. All news is fake.

My hot take is that over the next 10 years, we're going to see more emphasis on and investment in the humanities at Ivy League and other fancy schools just as state schools and small privates continue to decimate and even eliminate the humanities.

If only we knew what country benefits the most from the Russia-Ukraine "peace" proposal. Ah, tis a mystery . . .

A good indication that you are living in an authoritarian dictatorship is when the press secretary informs you that every command the president gives is legal.

Losing on the Epstein files.

Calling for political opponents to be executed.

Lashing out at the press.

Donald Trump totally lost control this week. We break down his most unhinged moments — and what they reveal — on a brand new Coffee Klatch.

”[Trump] is running a crypto scam where he can receive millions of dollars anonymously. Meanwhile the DOJ has shut down the crypto investigations unit. Truly no corruption scheme like this in our history — at least out of the White House.”

Hey, Trump. You don’t need to push Putin’s 28-point plan to end the war in Ukraine. Just go with the one point plan to end it: Russia gets the hell out of Ukraine.

Unfuckingbelievable. Trump’s Ukraine/Russia peace plan was literally a wishlist that Marco Rubio has admit admitted was entirely written by the Russians.

This may be the biggest foreign policy scandal in American history.

Put it right up there with the Republican’s Epstein child sex scandal.

This is correct. But keep in mind that Vance is Peter Thiel's man, and FBI agents revealed that Thiel was the subject of a decade-long RIS influence or recruitment operation run by Putin himself which Putin thought highly successful.

The US now has the Thiel-Vance foreign policy, the Steve Witkoff foreign policy, the Jared Kushner foreign policy, the Marco Rubio foreign policy, and once in a blue moon the Donald Trump foreign policy... and Putin and Netanyahu plus Saudi, UAE & Qatar drive most of it.

One fascinating aspect of the Trump administration is that the Secretary of State has multiple other jobs but multiple people also act like they’re Secretary of State.
