Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
For the love of all that is decent and holy: abolish ICE

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Congress getting off its collective ass and using some its constitutional authority would not go amiss right about now.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

There is no doubt Cuba will be next. It's what Rubio has wanted all along.
This Monroe Doctrine bullshit has got to go.
Q: "Is there a lesson here for Cuba?"

Trump: "I think Cuba is going to be something we'll end up talking about because Cuba is a failing nation right now…It's very similar in the sense that we want to help Cuba"

No doubt it will be called The Donald J Trump Presidential Golf Course after he "renovates" it. This narcissistic piece of shit prioritizes anything but governing.

Trump wants to overhaul the 'president's golf course.' He hasn't played there yet
Presidents often find solace in golfing, and Joint Base Andrews in Maryland is a favorite spot because it's close to the White House and has built-in security.

Incredible how stupid and gullible Trump is and how easy it is for Putin to manipulate him!

Trump: I don’t like it. You know who told me about it? President Putin. That’s no good. I stopped the tomahawks. I didn’t want that.

1 - the exec branch can't decline to spend $ Congress appropriated

2- the fed govt can't use federal $ to extort states over policy/political disagreements

3-the fed govt can't use federal $ to impose conditions unrelated to the funding program

4-the fed govt can't use federal $ to coerce states
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

And they do all this while publicly maintaining that they are the most transparent administration ever. smh
Jack Smith wants to testify in public - Republicans refuse.

He wants his depo tape made public - no again.

The second strike boat video? - nope.

Epstein files law complied with? - not today.

Vote on ACA? - maybe next year.

Republicans: Hide, obstruct, lie, delay, deny.

According to these guys there is no such thing as an independent agency. I'm sure they will change their mind on that as soon as a Democrat is in office. All of a sudden the Executive will not be quite as powerful.

President Trump said Wednesday that the U.S. seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela amid mounting tensions with the government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

What a coincidence it just happened to be the same amount as the bailout he had to give farmers in his first term. Both times caused by his own stupidity.
Trump: "We did a very, you know, study ahhumm ahhh progression of charts. And we figured out a very exact number and it was about $12 billion."

There's no precedent for anything they do. Just one brazen power grab after another.
Trump’s DOJ claims it has the power to decide who is covered by his vague sweeping 2020 pardon.

There's no modern precedent for such a move.

Huh, apparently when Trump said America First he meant Central/South America First.
Salazar: "In Congress we've understood that China, we need to bring those jobs back. Maybe to the United States, but maybe near-shoring or rear-shoring. Maybe it's time to bring those jobs to Venezuela and to Chile and to Bolivia and to Central and South America. They happen to be in our back yard."
