Wait. That military parade is supposed to make other countries fear and respect us more?

Breaking News! According to a “B7” spokesperson, all seven of America’s richest billionaires have committed to creating a big, beautiful new privately funded charity to replace the SNAP, Medicare and Medicaid programs being cut by the President’s Big, Beautiful Budget, only “much more efficient”!

Moody’s downgraded the U.S.’s credit rating for the first time in history because the Republicans can’t get their fiscal house in order and Trump is playing whack-a-tariff with our biggest trading partners. Are we great yet, America?

Holy sh*t!

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

My Time on 60 Minutes and Why I Refuse To Stay Silent From Marc | From the opening words of Judge Beryl Howell’s opinion to the 60 Minutes closing credits, this has been an emotional weekend for me personally.

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

A president who governs by “Executive Orders” is weak, not strong.

The difference between one of the happiest societies, Norway and America is that in Norway they spend $300 million helping the homeless dude on the sidewalk, while in America they spend $300 million rebuilding Alcatraz.

Do you get it yet?

Breaking: NC Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin just conceded the election - six months, and three rounds of vote tallies, after he lost.

Our office led the legal defense of this election, pushing back against an effort to throw out tens of thousands of lawful votes.

Trump's goal as president is not to govern but rather to produce a tv show--one that is not about the country but rather is about him, a 24/7 hagiographic Truman Show-like extravaganza that is a physical manifestation of his narcissism, a show about a world that is entirely about him.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

Just a theory:

Has anyone considered that Pete Hegseth’s wife, brother, and attorney might be propping him up because of his substance abuse? It would explain why he needs them looped into everything.

If you know anything about addiction, it tracks.

Had my first bike commute this week since congestion pricing went into effect and the improvement is *insane*. Totally transformative.

Wall Street seems to have decided that Trump is mentally unstable I want to suggest today that what we are seeing on Wall Street and in markets around the world is the sudden realization that the president is mentally unstable – that he has dementia, probably – and ...

This is absolutely brutal

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan charged with 2 felonies in ICE case Brady McCarron, spokesman for U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, D.C., confirmed Dugan was arrested at about 8 a.m. at the Milwaukee County Courthouse and is in federal custody.

NEW: Statement from attorney for Judge Dugan.

"Hannah C. Dugan has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge. Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated."

Funny how the paperwork only matters when it’s a woman or minority voter.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

FBI Director Kash Patel v Follow @FBIDirectorKash Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week. We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest. Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he's been in custody since, but the Judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public. We will have more to share soon. Excellent work @FBIMilwaukee.

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.
