The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.

Once again, the main goal of Trump's tariffs is soliciting bribery.
That is why all who go looking for a coherent (if misguided) economic strategy that aims to benefit the country come away confused. Make manufacturing boom? Stop fentanyl? Generate revenue to replace income tax?
Nope. Corruption.

NPR receives $2-3M/year in federal funding.
PBS receives $80-85M.
The military-themed birthday parade Trump is throwing himself will cost taxpayers $92M.

America has never been more divided in my lifetime.
I’m for the side that believes in the rule of law, science, reproductive rights, free & fair elections, secure war plans, not tanking the economy or illegally deporting American citizens.
I can’t believe there’s a side that doesn’t.

Instead, millions of Americans flooded the streets to demand an end to Trump’s authoritarian power grab.
Trump and Musk have spent their first 75 days in office trying to overwhelm us and make us feel powerless, but we’re not going anywhere.

U.S. job cuts hit 275,240 in March 2025, the highest since the pandemic peak in 2020, surpassing 2001 & 2008 recessions. Layoffs surge as federal cuts, led by DOGE, echo Covid-era losses.
It's the third highest monthly total on record.
