Trying to imagine what Thomas and Alito would say if Obama or Biden had demanded states hand over their voter rolls for them to vet, or else the postal service wouldn’t deliver their mail ballots.

If DOD needs $80b to replenish stocks and pay for Trump’s unauthorized, unwise, and unsuccessful war, every cent should come out of the bloated appropriation for ICE and border patrol for Trump’s awful mass deportation project.

Love seeing conservatives argue for separation between church and state but only when religious doctrine conflicts with blowing people up

Bruce and the band opened the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour in Minneapolis with the Motown classic "War" and "Born in the U.S.A." — a one-two punch that was live streamed on Bruce's social media for the first time, appearing here with a new audio mix by Chiller Sound.

Nothing is more America than people standing in an hours-long line caused by pathologically inept governance while four police officers stand around in case someone needs to be brutalized. Third World living at Developed World prices.

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

The DHS defense of Pretti's killing focuses on the existence of the gun. But look at everything that happened before the agents discovered the gun. DHS agents escalated: macing and mercilessly beat Pretti as he tried to protect two people being assaulted. None of that was remotely acceptable.

Yet another example of the idiocy of the Supreme Court’s immunity opinion: If Trump invades Greenland, even for the most insane reason (like not winning the Nobel Peace Prize) and against our obvious national interest, it’s an “official act” that can never be held legally accountable

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

“Trump Derangement Syndrome” has always been a way to smear people for having a logical, rational response to Trump having power. The real TDS is normalizing Trump’s power and the way he abuses it

Remember when Donald Trump said there would be people standing in bread lines trying to get food if Kamala Harris won? People are standing in line for food in Cleveland because of Donald Trump.

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things: 1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good 2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

All legal nonsense aside about the supposed state of armed conflict between the U.S. and Venezuelan gangs, what "I wish to emphasize is that there is a word for killings outside of armed conflict for which there is no domestic legal authority.

In the spirit of this great oped, journalists (inc. Goldberg) must recognize that one of Trump’s patterns is: 1. Do something wildly illegal 2. Identify the name of a law 3. Proceed to ignore every limit in that law The pattern is tricking papers into writing “Trump is invoking a rarely used law.”

Trump’s immigration actions are a classic bait & switch. He campaigned on deporting violent criminals. Instead, he’s deporting moms with their (sometimes American citizen) kids, good neighbors & hard workers; people who pay taxes & provide the labor we need.

Foreign officials are under no illusions that by approving Trump Organization developments they're doing anything other than paying a bribe to the president of the United States. They know it, he knows it, the only people who are fooled are in the American public. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/w...
This $1.5 billion golf complex outside the capital, Hanoi, as well as plans for a Trump skyscraper in Ho Chi Minh City, are the Trump family’s first projects in Vietnam — part of a global moneymaking enterprise that no family of a sitting American president has ever attempted on this scale. And as that blitz makes the Trumps richer, it is distorting how countries interact with the United States.

To fast-track the Trump development, Vietnam has ignored its own laws, legal experts said, granting concessions more generous than what even the most connected locals receive. Vietnamese officials, in a letter obtained by The New York Times, explicitly stated that the project required special support from the top ranks of the Vietnamese government because it was “receiving special attention from the Trump administration and President Donald Trump personally.”

And Vietnamese officials have waved the development along in a moment of high-stakes diplomacy. They face intense pressure to strike a trade deal that would head off President Trump’s threat of steep tariffs, which would hit about 30 percent of Vietnam’s exports.

I mean, they did promise to run the country like a business. Which, these days, means funneling as much money as possible to investors while getting mired in lawsuits, pushing legal costs onto customers, and gaslighting overworked workers into keeping productivity up.

Starting to think that we should sort out a general agreement on trade and tariffs, perhaps housed under some sort of world trade organization. Let's keep the region strong with some kind of of north american free trade agreement. Perhaps a trans pacific partnership could soften China's influence.
