America, spend some time watching Mark Carney dealing with Trump’s offensive and illegal trade war. It will remind you what a leader should be and make you deeply embarrassed at the face we currently show the world.

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

January 6 was only 5 and a half years ago, and we’ve already cycled through investigation, indictment, conviction, pardon, and now gleeful promises to do it again only with actual hanging rather than just chants about it. Nice job GOP.

Republicans don’t give a damn about the national debt. Even in times when they say the economy is percolating, they pile on deficit spending to help their favorite donors get even richer. Republicans pretend to worry about the budget as an excuse for screwing over the poor.

Taking Trump's name off the Kennedy Center was a mortal wound to the world's largest and most fragile ego. The legal battle to keep up and then the effort to conceal the final de-Trumpification of the Kennedy Center felt like the old guy bargaining with the grim reaper for a few more hours of life.

According to a new analysis, Trump has talked about his ballroom vanity project on a third of the days in 2026 — about as much as he has discussed health insurance and “affordability.” Since he's so determined to bring it up all the time, let's take a look at how corrupt this project really is.
