I’m sure Trump’s lawsuit against the WSJ and Rupert Murdoch will finally stop all the talk about Jeffrey Epstein.

I’m sure Donald Trump’s threatened lawsuit against the WSJ and Rupert Murdoch will make the Epstein scandal go away.

After a decade of Trump’s casual vulgarity infesting American politics, Republicans are suddenly concerned… because now a Democrat is talking back to them in their own vernacular.

I wonder with Tom Homan thinks of this guy.

She used George Stephanopolous’s choice of words.

Donald Trump is trying to use brute force to make a failed immigration system work.

Wall Street: The bigger the TACO, the more we profit. So let’s just not say anything about the new Trump tariffs until the very last possible moment.

MAGA is all about dividing America into an “us” and “them” - and then using government power to ruthlessly attack the “them.”

Only the markets can stop Trump's tariff regime now Stocks seem very, very disinclined to stop the historic rally they've been on the last three months.

The stock market has been rallying despite Trump’s revived trade war threats, on the assumption he will TACO. But Trump may be learning precisely the wrong lesson, by convincing himself that tariffs really won’t hurt the market.

Defund this anti-American bullshit.

I.R.S. Says Churches Can Endorse Candidates From the Pulpit

Smart churches would be well advised not to take the bait and avoid getting into the business of political endorsements. Politicization of religion is driving away the next generation from the church pews.

Trump and Netanyahu are treating Palestinians like illegal immigrants on their own land - encouraging them to self-deport after turning their land into a pile of smoking rubble. Ethnic cleansing with a snappy sales pitch.

Trump and Netanyahu are treating Palestinians like illegal immigrants on their own land - encouraging them to self-deport after turning their land into a pile of smoking rubble. Ethnic cleaning with a happy face!

At a time when Trump’s ICE agents claim the right to go wherever they want without any restriction, I am reminded of the Third Amendment:

“No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”

To all the MAGA enthusiasts who think ICE agents can go wherever they want without question or resistance, I have a question for you:

Do ICE agents have an unlimited right to enter YOUR house and arrest you for resisting them?

The Trump administration wants to convince you that this is what living in a free country looks like.

Indiana church tells an Indianapolis news station: “[LGBT people] are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.”

Gee, thanks for clearing that up.

Annoying People to Death Why the Medicaid work requirement is a terrible idea

“Red tape will cause millions of people to lose health coverage, some of whom will perish because they cannot access care. Republicans are not protecting Medicaid. They are voting to annoy their own constituents to death.”

The next phase of Trump's tariff limbo is just starting The rules of global trade in the Trump era are just as hazy now as they were in early April.

“The rules of global trade in the Trump era are just as hazy now as they were in early April, when the White House suggested ‘90 deals in 90 days’ that would ease the uncertainty.”

In response to the California fires in January, Donald Trump relentlessly bashed state and local Democratic politicians. Yet for some reason, Trump isn’t trashing state and local Republican politicians in response to the Texas floods. I wonder why…

Trump’s Only-Okay Economy He hasn’t crashed it, but he hasn’t made it great either. That’s a problem.

“The problem for Trump is that just ‘okay’ is not good enough for American voters, who were deeply unhappy with the state of the economy last year and are actually unhappier with it today.”

As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas

Dozens of children are dead. But at least Americans have fewer pointy-headed liberal government bureaucrats telling them what to do.

What Trump—And the U.S.—Can’t Understand About Air Strikes American leaders refuse to learn from allies and overestimate the benefits of showy tactical attacks.

“To some extent, Trump’s approach is typical of American leaders, who have routinely underestimated the true complexities of military tasks and assumed that a burst of overwhelming force will secure U.S. objectives and allow Washington to impose its version of peace.”

Opinion | Trump’s Politicized F.B.I. Has Made Americans Less Safe

While Trump’s supercharged ICE is carrying out a mass deportation program most voters reject, “Mr. Trump’s politicization of the F.B.I. has left it less able to combat terrorism, foreign espionage, biosecurity threats, organized crime, online scams, white-collar crime, drug trafficking and more.”

While Republican politicians are dedicated to providing fan service to their voters no matter what they want, Democrats like John Fetterman casually diss or ignore their own voters.

Instead of just lazily attacking your own voters and constituents as unpatriotic, why don’t you ask them WHY they feel that way?

In retrospect, this was only the beginning of a very dark timeline.

If MAGA Republicans could only show the daughters of millions of hard-working but unauthorized immigrants even a fraction of the compassion they show to a handful of female athletes who finished second to a trans athlete.

De jure Speaker Mike Johnson hands over his gavel to de facto Speaker Donald Trump.

MAGA Republicans have just pitched a hanging curve right over the plate to the Democrats. If Democrats can’t make MAGA Republicans and the Trump administration deeply regret passing this bill come November 2026, they really are hopelessly pathetic.
