You don't get an autocrat like Trump off your back by caving to him - that only invites more demands and more control. In addition to being bad for the country, it's a stupid strategy.

NEW: Last month, the Trump administration placed a $1 spending limit on most government-issued credit cards that federal employees use to cover travel and work expenses. It's paralyzing federal agencies.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.
He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am.
This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Musk’s theme while speaking from the Oval Office : the bureaucracy has replaced our democracy and therefore improperly RULES us at great expense. Thus his illegal hacks are justified to restore democracy and reduce government costs.

Americans want a modernized, functioning immigration system that both secures the border and provides legal pathways for immigrants.
As Republicans continue with their xenophobic language and political stunts, I’ll keep pushing for a fair system that actually works.
