Add your name: Congress must reverse Trump's immunity Trump wants one set of rules for himself and another for the rest of us. We must demand that Congress come together to pass a constitutional amendment that affirms equal justice for all and that no on...

A chart showing ICE with twice the funding (nearly $40 billion) of the combined totals for the FBI, IRS-Criminal and Civil Tax Enforcement, U.S. Secret Service, DEA, SEC, and ATF.

Trump’s Tax Scam makes ICE the largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the republic. To put that in perspective, here are the sizes of other federal law enforcement agencies:

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

With the debunked claims about fraud in social security, Trump is laying the ground work to cut social security benefits. Watch this space as Rachel Maddow says.

Let's Be Honest About The State Of The Union It wasn’t necessary to watch all of Trump’s speech last night to understand where we are as a country.

“Thank you again. Thank you again,” he says to John Roberts. Then he awkwardly slaps him on the shoulder and says, “Won’t forget it.” The moment has an almost classic mob boss feel to it in context.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin delivered a very solid & pointed Democratic response to Trump’s speech focusing on key issues Americans care about — the economy and their families’ well being. Her message is short and worth listening to. She ends with an admonition to Democrats — don’t retreat, don’t give in.

I watched all 100 minutes of Trump’s speech last night. He boldly repeated lies about his “unprecedented” mandate, Musk and Doge’s savings, Social Security fraud, the benefits of tariffs, & funding for Ukraine.

Democrats need to flood the zone with ads and counter messaging now, not later.

Trump News and Live Updates: Zelensky Arrives for Meeting of European Leaders on Ukraine Britain’s prime minister announced the move ahead of a meeting with European leaders as the region reeled from President Trump’s confrontation with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain said Sunday that he would work with the leaders of Ukraine and France on a cease-fire plan to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, as Europe reels from President Trump’s confrontation with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

What? The memo is rescinded, but the policy isn't?

Excellent article showing why the Trump election win is and was not a "landslide" or a "rout". The narrative of "an unprecedented win" has to be countered and rewritten.

Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."

My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:
