Stealing half a billion from American taxpayers to buy votes is an obvious crime. This isn’t a presidential administration — it’s a criminal enterprise.

Only doing this in states that are on the federally-run exchange also makes this another straight up theft from (mostly) blue states. Intolerable

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

it's telling that instead of letting the free market decide who's labor is more valuable they are passing laws to mandate lack of freedom of movement for (young, black) players to put the thumb back on the scale for (older, white) coaches

The lesson of the last 20 months isn't and can't be that taking needed action before you can be stopped is a recipe for political failure. It only looks like that if you don't have deeply held, non-negotiable commitments. www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

They’re still trying to recreate the “Loretta Lynch/Bill Clinton Tarmac scandal” because there are different standards for Democrats and — actually none for — Republicans.

If Donald Trump goes to the SCOTUS and demands that any votes for Democratic candidates be thrown out -- he'd get at least 2 justices to support him.

The richest man in the world bankrolled Donald Trump's presidential campaign ($260 million!) and then, after Donald Trump was elected and back in the White House, got unprecedented control over the federal government. This should be viewed as one of the greatest scandals in American history.

I have my qualms with his actions, but think Jack Smith did about as good a job as he could have. Biden and his administration were limited in what they could do (norms apparently only matter for Democratic presidents), though Garland obviously failed spectacularly.

The Trump regime's new AI assistant confirmed Donald is a convicted felon, Biden won the 2020 election, and Trump is in the Epstein files before it stopped answering political questions.

Donald Trump is a traitor to this country — this was patently obvious in the days leading up to and including January 6 2021. The collective amnesia, historical revisionism, and right wing propaganda doesn’t change this fact.

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

In Trump’s first term it was discovered that Stephen Miller had ties to white nationalists. The press immediately decided this was unimportant and should never be mentioned again.

Seeing some beltway horse race journalists itching to give Trump a comeback narrative. Take Playbook PM, which insisted Trump’s economy is “surging” despite Trump having both higher inflation & higher unemployment than when he took office. On manufacturing jobs: Biden: +775,000 Trump: -62,000

So glad Democrats are seeking bipartisanship with a fascist political party to give the NCAA and universities more power over the “student athletes” those institutions have exploited for decades.

One of the biggest stories of 2027 will be the savagery of the GOP's Medicaid cuts. But the most indefensible cruelty has already begun, with disabled kids being ripped from their homes and sent to asylums, @matthewcort.land told me.
