New in PN: Are voters finally realizing that GOP presidents are disasters? "The last 3 R presidents have handed their D successors an economic catastrophe, & the last 3 Ds have had to do their best to clean it up. Why don’t Ds ever say that? I think it would make a difference" — @mjtoma.bsky.social

Are voters finally realizing GOP presidents are disasters?
Michael Tomasky makes the case that they are.

I want all Americans to understand that I, a Republican lawmaker, can do nothing to rein in President Donald Trump. I am rendered powerless before the awesome strength of a lame-duck president with a 32% approval rating. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

This administration's deception is shameless. Trump is dragging us into what's so clearly a war – just look at Trump's actions in Iran in the first 48 hours compared to the first 48 hours of the 2003 Iraq War.

New GDP data falls far short, shows 2025 ended with weak economic growth
In the first year of Trump’s second term, economic growth fell to a nine-year low, and domestic job growth fell to a 16-year low. It’s worth asking why.

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

We're really going to bomb Iran because they kill protestors. This is a thing that's going to happen. Irony possesses a particularly potent power to make people reflect upon their beliefs. That's why fascists shrilly howl when irony is used against them and why they imprison/execute the ironists.
