While he is a delusional, lying narcissist with readily apparent signs of dementia, the economy does continue to work well for the wealthy while individuals of lesser means are left to carry the brunt of his abhorrent economic policies. Socialism for the rich is the goal, not just a symptom.

They lied to get us into the war. They lied over and over about winning. And they lied about the terrible damage their war has caused American soldiers and bases. A real Congress would begin impeachment hearings.

On one hand, DT is an ignorant racist that’s showing constant signs of mental deterioration but, on the other hand, he’s an abjectly stupid person that’s mentioned in the Epstein Files more than anyone not named Jeffrey Epstein. Under which heading are the 30% of remaining supporters operating?

The U.S. Senate is about to advance the nomination of a man who has helped Trump unconstitutionally evade releasing the Epstein files, and tried to use federal funds to pay insurrectionists. If the purpose of the U.S. Senate is to defend against tyranny, it has failed in its purpose.

I'm just going to keep screaming this until I'm hoarse, but until Trump the norm -- for 50 years -- was that sitting presidents had their taxes audited by the IRS and released to the public to show they were clean. But Trump refused repeatedly, and sued when his return was leaked, and now ... this

This is still entirely too high but it’s a nice reminder that most Americans disapprove of a narcissist that’s mentioned thousands of times in the Epstein Files while having been convicted of numerous felonies and additionally found civilly liable for defaming his sexual assault victim.

Donald Trump came one vote away from getting the Supreme Court to say that the 14th Amendment does not guarantee birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented and temporary immigrants, a view held only by fringe far-right nativists until VERY recently. This is shocking. I am stunned.

Trans people just want the right to exist safely as their true selves, like everyone else. But they’ve become easy scapegoats for the conservative moment, which vilifies them and threatens to criminalize their very existence. It's straight from the authoritarian playbook. Shameful.

Correct. They're going to trot out a 7-2 decision that acknowledges the sky is blue and they expect that's going to make everyone forget all of this insane fuckery. The Supreme Court must be reformed, and soon.

Yes, the text is a little dated but what part of “no person holding any Office of Trust shall, without the Consent of Congress, accept any present of any kind whatever from any King, Prince, or foreign State,” is unclear? The Emoluments Clause is not a suggestion.

I wonder if the Republicans that have demonized illegal immigrants and welfare recipients recognize the irony of their Musk worship. Is it more or less than the number of impoverished religious zealots that praise a thrice divorced narcissist who owns a solid gold toilet?

People who get Social Security and Medicare from the government are not getting "entitlements"—they are getting the money they gave the government back. Unlike when Elon Musk got at least $38 billion from the government in contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits over the past two decades.

Once again, they insisted Obama was a narcissist because he used the pronoun "I" in speeches too much. But this? This is fine.

I'm begging journalists to stop treating a gamblers' choices to place bets as confirmation of *anything* except the fact that gamblers place big bets. If I put $1,000,000 on 14 at the roulette table, that doesn't change the odds of 14 coming up next. It just means I'm careless with money.

This is partisanship at its rawest. SCOTUS has clamped down on lower courts for rulings that could alter maps many *months* before an election—even when those maps have been judged illegal. Here, it's rushing to let the Louisiana GOP change a map *while an election is underway.*
