Governance is complicated. For example, you could reconvene the national legislature and act to ensure that millions don't see their health care costs double or triple, to allow information on which men fucked children to be aired, and to restore services to all Americans. Or not.
It's a grey area.

The next time anyone from DOJ so references their agency they need to be immediately corrected. It's now DOR, the U.S. Department of Revenge, which pairs nicely with the new Department of War.

The trash who now govern us have outflanked Orwell entirely. They show you the lies and just shrug.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.

Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Reports in the media that U.S. citizens have been deported are false. Deportation is a legal term specifically applying to foreign nationals.

These U.S. citizens have been kidnapped and illegally removed to a foreign country by the U.S. government.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

AP CALLS IT!
Democrats have won a Pennsylvania state Senate seat in a district the Trump carried by 15 points a few months ago. What a referendum on Trump!

This is a mission everyone should be able to get behind. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have been torn from their families. No effort must be spared to bring them home:https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-halts-program-track-abducted-ukrainian-children-lawmakers-2025-03-18/

For a half century, our leaders committed this country to a war on drugs. Drugs won, though the war against them filled prisons, clogged courthouses, destroyed families and militarized police. Now wailing against fentanyl, a new charlatan will collapse the global economy.

We are morons forever.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research

President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
