Democrats need to forget about and move on from the pro-Hamas “leftists” who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris. If they didn’t vote for Harris to prevent a 2nd Trump presidency, they’ll never vote for any viable Democratic candidate, ever. There’s no need to waste resources trying to bring them back.

It's not a rogue patrol, this is the operation as conducted under the direct supervision of senior DHS officials.

If McConnell had allowed the GOP-controlled Senate to impeach Trump after January 6, 2021, none of this would be happening.

I don’t know who Kevin Warsh is, but it’s hard to imagine a WORSE pick for Fed chair than Kevin Hassett. So, like, OF COURSE it’s gonna be Hassett. And we’ll be stuck with him beyond Trump’s term.

Donald Trump issued a rambling Truth Social screed at “Caitlin Collin’s” where he ranted about his ballroom dimensions and CNN’s ratings. Here’s why Democrats need to disavow polarizing figures like Zohran Mamdani.

One thing no one wants to talk about: who was the drone operator, and who “pressed the button” - the mechanism that caused bombs to fall? Because that person followed illegal orders, he or she is a murderer. It’s very likely it was some young person at a fairly low rank. Unfortunate.

For instance, when people wonder why most Democratic leaders don’t have the spine to stand up to Trump, they forget where and with whom they spend most of their time—with funders and business people who for the most part are just fine with what's going on.

Be fully prepared for the Supreme Court to get rid of district judges’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions. They just have to chalk up another one in the win column for Daddy Trump before they go on their billionaire-funded vacations for the summer.

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place.
