deposing a foreign ruler and spending tens of billions of dollars on oil subsidies so we can put American frackers out of business, just in time for EVs to permanently collapse oil demand. that's the Trump business touch alright

And senior Republican leaders who are not impeaching him now. The unprovoked invasion of our NATO allies is as cut-and-dried "impeach & remove immediately" as anything since WWII, aside from "incite an insurrection at the Capitol to steal an election."
Total failure of Article I of the Constitution

And make no mistake, this is the fault of senior Republican leaders who did not impeach and remove Trump in 2021 and conservative justices that gave Trump a blank check prior to 2024
Great that our senior military leaders have to resort to distraction attacks to keep the toddler in chief from doing something catastrophic

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE goons today, and not being allowed to go near her. The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present

All Democrats need to recognize that we are well past the point of fishing vs. cutting bait. This is not a presidency that needs to be implored to do better, this is a presidency that needs to be shut down & removed at the earliest opportunity. Anything beyond that comes second.
Rather than foolishly threatening to attack a NATO ally by invading Greenland, the president should focus here at home on lowering costs and creating economic opportunities for American families.

There are a hundred more important things to say, and I tried to say some of them in my essay for "Thinking About...", but: invading a country for oil is also just atavistic at this point. Even if it worked, which it won’t, it still wouldn’t work.
Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

Any time you point out how much better it would be for Dems to be in charge than the GOP you get a parade saying "yeah but the Dems..." and it's always something hilariously minor in comparison. I'm sorry, in my rush to prevent Trump from trying to kill me I forgot the Dems have bad taste in movies.

This is John Roberts' America.
The blatant selling of pardons is perhaps the clearest instance of criminal conduct authorized by SCOTUS. Pardons are a quintessential "official act." So, even when Trump takes a bribe to issue one, he is presumably above the criminal law.
The president’s own chief of staff was reportedly stunned by his pardon of a former Honduran president.
