The man should be in prison. But sure, let's pay him a quarter of a billion for being a criminal.

Mike surely has twisted his spine 27 ways to Sunday trying to avoid swearing in Grijalva.

The WH steals people’s property constantly and never asks permission. Another example of Trump acting like a king.

I reject Mike’s premise.

I assume that JD Vance and Pete Hegseth were seen running out of the boys bathroom and giggling right before the explosion in the toilets.

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

"It is the eternal struggle between these two principles — right and wrong. The one is the common right of humanity, and the other the divine right of kings...[When] a king seeks to bestride the people of his own nation, it is the same tyrannical principle."

Nearly all the staff in the Office of Special Education have been fired as part of Trump’s sweeping layoffs.

These are the people responsible for protecting the civil rights of students with disabilities and ensuring they receive an equal education.

More needless cruelty on display.

"Most Americans probably don’t have a detailed grasp of what’s happening with ACA subsidies right now, but once people start getting letters notifying them of how much their premiums are going up, it will become a much bigger issue."

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare

And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

Trump's tariff chaos is destroying Kentucky's bourbon industry. Exports have collapsed, and Canadian and European competitors are taking our market share.

Bourbon built Kentucky. Trump is tearing it down.
