Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

As Republicans attempt to gerrymander their way to a 2026 election win, they’re encountering one big obstacle: the courts and voters. Now, the party is waging war on both by attacking voter-approved measures, threatening impeachment and more.

As a Jewish journalist, I know I am casting my lot with people who, deep down, are antisemitic. But that's okay because I'm confident that however much they hate Jews, they hate Muslims 5-10% more.

Every major news organization should be writing about how insane this is and how, if he takes this country to war (tomorrow?), it is the act of a madman.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

The conspiracy by this Court to replace our founding charter with dictatorship isn’t funny, but:
“Every time Trump makes a shadow docket appeal he might as well shout ‘By the power of Greyskull!’, because he’s about to transform from a feeble man who can’t grip a glass with one hand into HE-Man.”
