"So while MAGA’s attempt to strangle clean energy will increase the risks of global climate catastrophe, it will also increase the risks of U.S. economic stagnation, forcing our nation to remain wedded to obsolete energy technologies while other countries march into the future."

Currently, all national park visitors are subject to the same entry fee structure, but the Trump administration wants to charge foreign tourists more.

Trump begging for a Nobel Peace Prize has the same energy of a little leaguer who struck out every game, but demands MVP because he once held the bat correctly

I dunno...there's always been something ghoulish and morbid about the trump boys - makes me grit my teeth and clinch my fists - I have a primal and elemental abhorrence for these walking excretions.

The most critical elements of democratic governance go beyond just free and fair elections to the protection of political rights for those in political opposition, the open function of a civil society and free press, and an independent judiciary.

Hello NBC Universal or whoever you are… it’s really time to put “The More You Know” commercials on the shelf for awhile. The cute little jingle is right up there with a toothache. I can’t get to the remote fast enough. #MSNBC

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov?
Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)

If you tried to convince me the Antichrist was real all you would have to do is point to the weird hypnotic power he has to control people with limited intellect.
It’s bafflingly all encompassing. They’re watching him lie and they deny it. If it’s not Devilry then I have no idea.
