When Trump says he’s “Making America Great Again,” he must be referring to The Great Depression.

8647 In case Tod Blanche reads this, let me be explicitly clear about what I mean: impeach him and remove him from office. 86 = toss/fire/can/show the exit. (Source: I worked in restaurants for years) 47 = the narcissist who currently holds the office of president. (Source: the worst timeline)

When Republicans say the ACA is a failure, remember that they broke it. They effectively killed the individual mandate by repealing the tax penalty for not having insurance. The ACA wasn't perfect, but it was an improvement. Rather than trying to build on progress, the GOP broke it deliberately.

Trump is literally declaring a civil war via social media. I expect 0 congressional Republicans to say anything, Democratic leadership to write a strongly worded letter, and news media to tell us that we shouldn't use the "fascist" word.

I realize it's unlikely because they've probably done the math, but it would be such delicious karma if the Texas GOP's attempt at redistricting spreads their margins so thin that Trump's shitty job performance is enough to tip the balance so that instead of picking up 5 seats, they lose 5 seats.

"Musk's claim ("the left is supposed to be the party of empathy") perfectly distills the asymmetry in our politics. The left is “supposed to be” empathetic, so that’s the standard it must live up to. The right isn't, so when its leader incites a riot, that’s fine since it meets our expectations."

Trump admin lawyers are saying the Alien Enemies Act allows federal agents to enter homes without a warrant. I'd hope that this would never hold up in court, but the fact that they're even suggesting it is disturbing. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

It remains unclear whether the Trump administration will apply the law in this way. But such an interpretation, experts say, would infringe on basic civil liberties.

Boycott Tesla! Teslas are poorly built fascist trash and there are a lot of great options at every price point made by companies that aren't owned by Elon Musk. I had a Bolt EV for 3 years (great car at a great price). When my lease ended, I got a Polestar 2 (nicer car, more $$).

This is some Orwellian shit right here. The US Attorney for the District of Columbia is supposed to uphold the law, which includes the first amendment. Revoking press credentials from the AP over their decision to continue to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as such is fundamentally un-American.
