Make people fear it. Tell them who to blame for it. The Republican playbook in a nutshell. Also, education is the enemy of the authoritarian. That's why Trump loves stupid people. Their too stupid to realized he's a snake oil peddling POS.

I've been told I need to respect all points of view because (after all) we are all Americans. But honestly, I'd have better luck teaching my cat how to drive.

Watching Justin Thomas at the President’s Cup celebrate is the reason the rest of the world hates us. (Well, that and Trump) You beat the worst putter in professional golf and you celebrate like you just won the Masters? Sit down and shut up Justin.

If I can't have it, no one can. Trump is a malignant tumor who just happens to occupy the highest elected office in America. But his intent to destroy the Kennedy Center is the act of a vengeful petulant child..

Trump says he’s lifting a 10% tariff on Irish whiskey because ‘everybody’s been bugging me’ about it. This is how decisions are made in Trump world.

When @mayor.nyc.gov posted about discounted tickets available for $100 (early rounds, maybe SRO) I thought, they must really be expensive. I know this was put together as a parody, but... is it?

We live in a world where a Supreme Court Justice says something is "likely unlawful". Mr Chief Justice, either it is or it isn't. If you don't know, who does? "Beats me" isn't a dissent or a ruling... it's just a cowards way out.

There it is. Trump and his minions rail against the press, because their #1 job is to hold power accountable. Without an active press free to do its job, they are free to dismantle our democracy in the shadows, and no one will know it's happen until it's over.

If that "interest" is protecting our Democracy and the Constitution, it's certainly "an obvious conflict". But graft, self-dealing, insider trading, influence peddling, etc is exactly the sort of thing that is of interest to Trump and his cronies, and they don't seem at all conflicted.

Infantino; Refuses to address legitimate issues and attacks critics. Moves forward while ignoring negative backlash. Accuses the press of bias. The lead at JP Morgan is Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared Kushner and Trump’s son in law. Yup, it’s “Trump-linked” alright.

#Trump and his minions blame Biden for the dwindling stockpiles. I have plenty of ammunition, so let's shoot a few holes in that argument... If it's really Biden's fault, you knew about it when you took office, and did nothing about it. From January 20th, 2025, any depletion is on your watch.

Unfortunately, at this level they don't hand out participation trophies. For all the flag waving, jingoistic bravado, and ham-fisted maneuvers (by Trump) we are still miles behind the best in the world... and it showed. FYI, we've gotten this far before, but never been beaten so soundly.

Aishvarya KaviReporting from the National Mall

It’s raining lightly in Washington and many stragglers from the National Mall are wandering the streets north of the monuments, trying to find a place to wait out the weather. The restaurants in the area, largely fine dining, are packed. People seem exhausted and irritable, and it’s causing some tension.Two men riding electric scooters veered too close to a couple on the sidewalk, promoting a short but heated exchange of words. Behind the couple, a man in a patriotic t-shirt said, “Deport them! Deport them!”
