β€œI’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. β€œI would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

Trump and Republicans just passed a tax cut that will gift $100B annually to the richest 1%.

$100B could fund SNAP for a year.

It's not a matter of what this country can or can't afford. It's about priorities.

People are starting to understand this.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here β€œFAKE” and β€œfraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint.

They are all terrified of King Donald.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

Several people wrote in about insurers leaving the healthcare.gov marketplace, which gives people fewer options. A man from Berkley sent me this letter he received from his provider that is leaving the marketplace.

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

Stephen Miller's radically bogus idea of "plenary authority" This is not how the Constitution works.

"Miller slipped up because even he knows it is an outrageous thing for Trump to claim absolute, unreviewable power to send active-duty military troops into American cities based only on his delusions."
