Trump betrayed Ukraine, secretly colluded with Russians against Europe, and has a secret line with the Kremlin outside of official overview, hidden from everyone including US spy / national security agencies. These are the reddest of flags. A spy sits at the White House.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Why does it seem like the people who brag about, and base their identity on, being Christian are the least Christlike people in the country?

Trump calls yet another woman bump "piggy," this time a Bloomberg Journalist, and embraces the Saudi dictator who ordered the murder of a Washington Post journalist.
Have we no moral standards any longer in America?
At long last, have we no shame?

Jim Ryan wrote a letter to UVA detailing his "resignation" and I'm gonna get some fresh tea before I read it because I feel pretty certain I'm gonna be filled with righteous anger by the end

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

Everyone is clamoring for the Epstein files. They have had so much time to alter and/or destroy them that I fear justice will never prevail. What to do what to do? 🤔

We are the difference between Democrats caving to Trump and building a unified opposition party that wins big by standing up to the regime.
We’ve got a lot of work to do over the next year to take back Congress. Join the organizing that’s happening near you to win everywhere: indivisible.org/groups

M: Common sense be damned
S: Is he in the files?
M: Obviously

💯 The goal is threefold:
1) Tie the GOP to corruption + crime, thus reclaiming "law + order."
2) Perhaps deter some violations now.
3) Build popular support for an anti-corruption crusade when Dems regain office, a master frame that Dems can use to legitimize transformative institutional change.

Instead of "This is inappropriate!" Democrats - especially those who might run for president - should say right now "Anyone who participates in this should know: You are committing a crime, and in the next administration you will be prosecuted."
That will change the frame of the story.

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.
And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.
