To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

I was too. She’s avoided Kyle for a very long time.

Waiting for MAGAs to call for the outlawing of homosapiens.

The same people who think Transgenic mice means Transgender mice want to get rid of the Department of Education.

It would have been a lot easier to fight fascism at the polls than in the streets.

President Trump says rates of pediatric cancer are way up, but his incompetent fanatics on DOGE fired my guest tonight, Dr. Lauren McGee, a remarkable pediatric cancer researcher who was sacked from NIH as part of Musk’s Valentine’s Day onslaught.

Trump is right now railing against inflation... while his own policies and tariffs send the costs of everyday goods skyrocketing even *without* the global phenomenon of inflation.

Trump hangs his own party out to dry Trump just ensured that the GOP would own all of his unpopular moves.

"The reality is that Republicans are doing Democrats’ work for them by lining up behind the least popular agenda that you could imagine. Far from Trump trying to set his own party up for success moving forward, he’s instead dragging them down by forcing them to back policies that Americans despise."

When park rangers are hanging upside down flags in Yosemite, you know you messed up.

I Do Not Obey in Advance I do not obey in advance.

Decent people will never kiss the ring or the a*s.

I would rather have air traffic controllers, Park Rangers, Cancer Research and Social Security than a $5000 check from DOGE

Fascism Isn't Coming To America, It's Here. Do Americans Have the Strength to Drive it Out? Fascism isn’t coming to America, it’s already here.

The question is, whether or not we have enough good people who are willing to push back and to move together across lines of politics and religion and race and nation of origin and orientation—and to declare our interdependence from fascism.

No, Christians, God is Not in Control Whenever the subject turns to our current national dumpster fire and the resulting unrest here, There's a similar refrain I hear from the lips of many Christians these days:

God works through the hands and words of the people who aspire to this love and goodness, and choose to exercise the individual and collective power they have been entrusted with right where they're standing.

It’s time to stop passing the buck to God.

Homeland Security budgets $200m for new border ad campaign In the ads, Kristi Noem praises President Trump and warns migrants in the US illegally that “we will find you.”

I'd like to bring this multimillion-dollar photo-op to the attention of Elon Musk and DOGE.

Instead of firing food inspectors and air traffic controllers and cancelling critical medical research at NIH, stop this outrageous waste of our people's tax dollars!

Trump Voters, is This What You Wanted? A vote is loud.

Your vote in November, for whatever reason you cast it—was loud.

And if you regret that vote or if you don't consent to what you are seeing from this man and this Administration, your volume now is necessary too.

Is America Great, Yet? I've Been Asking Around. Are we great yet, America?

Are we great yet, America?

It hasn't seemed particularly great to me lately, but hey, I've been wrong before, so I started asking around…

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office.

Don’t forget.

Things I'm Struggling to Believe After the Election Not only do the times change, the times change us.

Over recent weeks, I've realized how many of my once-sacred givens are now up for debate in my heart and how much grieving this reality has yielded.

Maybe you’re in the same place of uncertainty and instability.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says the federal government should 'take over' the District of Columbia, backing GOP push in Congress.

America wasn't born to crown new kings, but to dethrone them

YouTube video by 9NEWS 2 arrested after glass thrown at protesters

"This is going to keep happening. More and more hate is going to keep occurring unprovoked to people who aren't doing anything wrong."

Denver Police arrested two people accused of shouting white supremacist and neo-Nazi slogans at Anti-Trump protesters, then throwing glass toward them.

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head.

They’re not even hiding it.

The time to BEWARE, has passed…👇

Hasn’t it?!

Unfortunately. For. Everyone.
