At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

So let us get this straight. Democrats forgot to rig 2016, successfully rigged 2020 while Trump was in charge, then forgot to rig 2024.

I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this: Mexican, Central American, and South American people are indigenous to the Americas and White people are the actual immigrants.

Maybe we should remember Lindsey Graham the way Fox News is remembering him this morning. For his rabid defense of Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing. Never forget: Graham’s speech helped push Kavanaugh across the finish line and onto the Supreme Court.

Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man to understand. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-kn...

Lindsey knew better. He chose worse.
Lindsey Graham was a lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention.

Conor McGregor lost his UFC fight in one round. He had his ass thoroughly beat. This is karma. McGregor violently raped a woman. She needed surgery to remove a tampon and repair the damage. His career should have been over. He should be behind bars.

In Gaza right now, thousands of children have lost both parents. They did not choose this. They did not deserve this. They are alone — at 5 years old. At 8. At 11. With no one left in the world whose job it is to keep them alive.

Chief Justice John Roberts' legacy is a far-right Supreme Court that prioritizes expanding corporate power above all else. I warned of his right-wing nature when I testified against his nomination in 2005.

Kalshi gave Donald Trump Jr. $300K in equity after making him a strategic advisor last year. Since then, Kalshi’s valuation has exploded by 1000%. Meanwhile, Trump’s regime has stifled state efforts to regulate prediction markets and crack down on insider trading. Always follow the money.

I wish I could feel celebratory, but I don’t. To me, the darkness that has befallen our country doesn’t call for celebration or self-congratulation — not this week, nor as long as the darkness prevails. robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-t…

Ths is flying under the radar, but Russ Vought is advancing a new scheme to give Trump's cronies total control of nearly $179B in federal grant funds. Billions for lifesaving disaster relief and medical research would be subject to Trumpian loyalty oaths. Make no mistake: this is fascism.

Just when you think this administration cannot sink this nation any lower than it already has, it’s a new day. I used to say, this is not who we are – it is. I’m also going to stop saying, we are better than this, because apparently, we are not.

We are all exhausted by the fire hose of insanity but think about this for a moment. Cabinet members met in the situation room to strategize about how to cover up the evidence in the Epstein files that the president raped and abused children. Raped Children. Honestly, how depraved are these people?

Trump’s attack on the American mind — on education, science, libraries, and museums — is an attack on the capacity of Americans for self-government. Democracy depends on people knowing what’s occurring around them and having the capacity to deliberate critically about it.

Just to clarify. I loathed him, before I even knew what party he might have affiliated with. He was, to me, way back in the 80s, the epitome of what used to be called 'The Ugly American'. I loathe him even more now. I just want him gone. Fuck trump 8647 #TheAlliedForces

“The Reflecting Pools in Washington, D.C. were designed for one purpose: reflection. They are supposed to mirror the beauty, dignity, and symbolism of the monuments around them. They were never intended to look like a chlorinated Olympic swimming pool where you can count pennies on the bottom.”
