The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

For the life of me I've never understood why the press and the political class find it so difficult to talk about Donald Trump's severe and manifest personality disorders. These disorders may be impossible for any professional to treat, but they are easily understandable to any ...

You need to share this post: Trump EMBARRASSES himself, forgets who Karoline Leavitt is — confuses her for former employee Kellyanne Conway. And I bet if you ask him, he couldn’t tell you where he is The cognitive decline is BAD.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

A different, positive take on the disclosure of the hero’s religious identity: it demonstrates to anxious Jews in the world that the hate which they face they do not face alone, and that allies can come from places thought by some to be unlikely.

I’ll assign responsibility: The surge of death that has resulted from slashing global aid lays squarely at the feet of Trump and Musk — and the cowardly Republicans in Congress who were afraid to stand up to them.

So many people have Trump wrong. What he wants is not Yeltsin's Russia, Orban's Hungary or Hitler's Germany. I've studied him for a decade and can tell you that if his dreams come true, America will most resemble the Hermit Kingdom—North Korea—with Trump as Kim Jong-un and the rest of us in poverty.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
