So if you're a government leader who believes that antifascists are your enemy, that would make you a... what, now?

Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.

How is it that the richest man on earth can share this kind of openly white supremacist and misogynistic trash and it be met with a shrug by the entire US elite?

every time I hear the phrase "the next admin" - I think, man - you do not get that they have no intention of allowing free and fair elections again.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

A reminder that there is no human being in the United States whom it would be legal to disappear to a Salvadoran prison without due process of law.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?"

Senior Citizen: β€œIf I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say β€˜no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said β€˜screw it’”

β€œI’M PISSED!”

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference.

The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Any word from @schumer.senate.gov ? Can't Dems make all congressional action stop until R's do something about this constitutional crisis?

And here we have it - @schumer.senate.gov said that if Trump defies the Supreme Court, then it's serious.

Can't wait to see what serious looks like.

If you're in congress and you aren't publicly in favor of banning the trading of individual stocks by people in congress, get your head out of your fucking ass.

We’re not even through year one of the Trump presidency and he’s boosted the Chinese economy at the expense of our own by making it clear to the rest of the world that China is a more reliable trading partner than we are.

Who in the administration knew about Trump's latest tariff flip flop ahead of time? Did anyone buy or sell stocks, and profit at the public’s expense?

I'm writing to the White House β€” the public has a right to know.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Opinion | β€˜Liberation Day’ Was Messy, but Trump’s Tariffs Can Still Work It’s a matter of timing and communication.

this is a great example of trying to rationalize a fundamentally irrational decision. you’ll notice that at no point does cass ever articulate what the american public is supposed to get out of the deal here. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/o...
