Opinion | Trump’s new reality: Ex-president, private citizen and, perhaps, criminal defendant The stark lesson of the last four years is that the failure to hold a president to account only leads to more conduct for which the president should be held to account.

I don't know about them, but if it's anything like me
: we don't hate the USA. We hate boot lickers. We hate the CIA and its past. We hate Nazis. We hate that colleges and cities grant white supremacists permits to hold rallies with police protection. We hate billionaires, and corruption.

We don’t hate our country and neither do these people. We do however hate what’s being done to it by billionaires, racists and bigots.

The dude literally demolishing part of the White House sure does seem to hate the USA

It felt good to wake up in America today.

Raskin: "South Korea gave him some kind of golden crown or something, and then he lowered their tariffs. That is a monarchist mercantilism, that is not the American system."

Way more.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has named an all-female transition team – including Elana Leopold, Maria Torres-Springer, Grace Bonilla, Melanie Hartzog, and Linda Khan.

They are so good at this.

A highlight of last night I'm not seeing much today:

Spanberger, Shirrell, and Mamdani all won clear majorities of young male voters last night.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

So Nice To See Democratic Women Getting The Votes and
Respect They Have Earned......

House cancels votes next week, including vote on Epstein files.

Other huge victories from last night's elections:

-PA Dems defended their 5-2 Supreme Court majority
-GA Dems flipped two GOP-held seats on the state utility commission
-CO approved a ballot measure to fund universal school meals

America's Sleeping Giant has awakened.

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas.

But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community.

It was standing room only.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

Beautiful 💙

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand.

For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power.

Let’s change that. One election at a time.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

We are 36 days into the Trump government shutdown, the longest in American history.

FYI, I’m still laughing at the Kentuckians who were upset they couldn’t vote in the NYC mayoral election.

Costs are up for everything, but you should imagine costs are down.

The economy is booming for billionaires. Simply imagine you’re one of them.

His bullshit requires you live in an alternate reality.

Unfortunately, your bills are due in this one.

Waddling down memory lane after the drubbing last night…
