President Trump “is pushing our country toward an international crisis without valid reasons,” the editorial board writes after the U.S. attack on Venezuela was announced on Saturday. “If Mr. Trump wants to argue otherwise, the Constitution spells out what he must do: Go to Congress.”

This is real life: as thousands of federal workers are going unpaid, a ballroom is being built in the White House and the president wants the Justice Department to pay him $230 million. Even Marie Antoinette would find that to be a bit much.

“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?”

We want to take a moment to talk about tariffs because honestly, we didn’t realize how bad it was getting until we started comparing notes with friends and family. Stores across the country are already raising prices, and some of the increases are steep.

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next?

This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Republicans in Congress don't want you to know this.

Behind closed doors, top Republican officials are greasing the wheels for tax breaks for billionaires and billionaire corporations by pushing a lie that they cost nothing.

It's magic math — and we gotta call it out.
