This President put a TV news host in charge of our national defense. Unsurprisingly, it is not going well.

Pete Hegseth is the most unfit, unqualified Defense Secretary in history.

He should resign.

Donald Trump ran on lowering costs.

Now he refuses to negotiate on the simplest and easiest way to ensure millions of Americans don’t face skyrocketing insurance costs.

All he has to do is extend existing credits to prevent massive upheaval. He refuses to do the bare minimum.

House Republicans just tanked a bipartisan piece of federal legislation to lower housing costs.

I want to highlight just some of what was in this critical bill and why this is such a loss for Americans.

Whoa … this is really strange.

Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

Here is what I wrote👇

If there is one thing that is clear from Donald Trump’s first 100 days, it is that he is not a regular president. But the courts continue to treat him as one, which is what has us barreling towards a full-blown constitutional crisis. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

#Epstein didn’t get rich by accident. He was built, funded, protected. And now, as survivors are gone and the #MAGA machine melts down, the cover-up is cracking. Trump’s name is in the files. #Congress is demanding answers. The firewall is breaking.

Demanding a “thank you” from starving children who have lost everything during a war in which their tiny country was relentlessly bombed is just depraved

It’s bad enough that America elected this person

It’s even worse that his base reveres EVERYTHING he does-and wants to give him even MORE power
REPORTER: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza?

TRUMP: Say it?

R: Should Israel be doing more to allow food?

T: What is she saying?

SOMEONE: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza?

T: You really at least want to have somebody say thank you. We gave $60m for food for Gaza

As with most things from Buttigieg, it’s worth a Listen-through.
A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.
