Imagine reaching the absolute pinnacle of political achievement, the US presidency, and still being a pathetic thin-skinned man-baby without a shred of decency or concern for anyone other than your pathetic man-baby self.

With SNAP being lost at the end of the week I keep thinking about how we almost ended food insecurity in children when we had the COVID checks. The US government could ensure every child was safe by investing in Americans, but the president is investing in other countries and ballrooms instead.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

"Voting rights advocates are raising fears that the Trump administration may attempt to “hijack” the 2026 election after a new report revealed that a top election integrity official suggested invoking a “national emergency” to justify a federal takeover of state-run elections"

Not a rumor anymore.

Good: Jamie Raskin tells me he's formally demanding any/all internal communications between WH and DOJ on Trump's $230 million payoff.

More Dems should talk this way about Trump's criming. He's turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System.

New piece:

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse

It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

The government will not reopen. Trump has his kingdom. The Pedophiles have everything. Now it is up to the remaining decent people in the country to take it back, establish a new country and punish all of the Project 25 villains. The Hague can help with that.

The most openly sociopathic Republicans are the self-proclaimed righteous Christians.

That was something I found consistently when working in Republican politics. The nastiest and dumbest ones were always the Bible thumpers.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...
