Younger brother David for example.
I was annoyed by Mike Johnson sending the reps home, but now that he is back on the talk circuit, I realized the break from the lying POS non-Christian “Christian” was really nice.
30 year commuter here. Only the bathrooms need attention- more frequent cleaning. Give Trump a toothbrush and put him to work.
Hey media. What about the purchase of Greenland? Can you now write about how it was an early sign of how insane Trump is? Comment on his dementia please.
Better yet tell the incumbent Republicans that they will get voted out unless they start doing their job and stand for the country and not Trump.
Exactly
Hey media, what is the latest on impeachment filings against Trump? Seems newsworthy in spite of lack of success in the filings.
Hey media, how many trade deals are actually signed and sealed?
I’ll subscribe to the major newspaper that calls out his dementia. (I cancelled the Globe for publishing op-Ed’s that said calling in the National Guard was ok and that Trump should win the Nobel.)
Was the spitee hospitalized? Good Christ.
Hey media, what is the update on the new party announced by Musk?
Doctors, weigh in. IV injection site?
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This demands investigation! Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), the top Democrat on the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, released a
Thomas Jones, Brian Darling, Tripp Baird were officers as of 2023. Their filing listed no other names and no donors.
This is the best thing you'll see today, and I say that as a person who wrote something awesome today and does not lack for confidence.
Isn’t Tricia’s statement about DACA a lie? They do have some status?
AI centers should be taxed.
Put another way, if Executive Orders are issued, congress can veto them.
Was she called a liar to her face? (And a heartless person)?
not to be the flyspeck nyt copy as if it's the most important thing guy, but seriously wtf is this?
Anybody get a photo of what flag Alito flew yesterday at his NJ beach home?
ICE is unpopular. Yet no mention of it in this set of points. I have read ICE will add 10,000 agents. A waste of money.
Abolish ICE
When Nixon said “I am not a crook” in a speech it was both shocking he would feel compelled to say it and “low class.” Unbecoming. Now Trump can say “I am a crook” and the media would not even report it.
In the past 24 hours, Trump’s threatened Elon Musk, Thomas Massie, Japan, a judge in Israel, the CEO of AT&T, Jerome Powell, Canada, Thom Tillis, a Forbes reporter, Harvard, & migrants with being eaten by Burmese pythons in the Everglades, while releasing a new line of colognes.
4/ A new tax break for coal companies! So the tax incentives for wind and solar are GONE, and the coal industry is getting NEW tax incentives. It's official policy now to to not just deny global warming exists - but to actively make it WORSE.
👀🚨⚖️ #bbb
Consider the double standard of last week’s scotus ruling where religious objection can be the basis for amending school curriculum. Here, if you sue to stop the 10 Commandments because of your religious objection, your case would get nowhere. Hypocrisy in the works.
Since crypto uses so much electricity isn’t it time to tax crypto holders? Why do they get a free lunch? The tax would go to strengthening the grid which they are overburdening.
Other than his wife, when was the last time Stephen Miller was told NO?
If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.
The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.
Award Trump the No Bell award. That might work.
EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...
Your question is the right question. Enough already.
BREAKING: Iran surrenders after Trump threatens to serve as their president for four months.
Not enough punishment.
"Liberate the city" What does that mean? The Trump Administration should be asked by every reporter.
Re-upping. No reason.
Any data on native Americans vs the remainder of the OK populace? Just guessing the remainder of the OK populace gets more than $8k.
God greif as the editor might right. Good grief as the editor might write.
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) knows this is a disingenuous argument of why there are so many nationwide injunctions against Trump. Professor Kate Shaw stuffs him in a locker with her answer, ‘Trump is engaging in much more lawless activity than other presidents.’ Brava Kate!💥🔥💥
🩷 Kate. Hawley is a douche.
I gotta say, U.S. titans of industry are looking more powerless every day. They’re really letting this guy come out and freestyle our economy at whim?
I keep hearing comments like “I plan to ignore it for the next four years”. This Billionaire Bill shuts down democracy. Look away at your peril.
Interesting 🤔 ⚖️👇🏾
Except that case involved a completely different set of facts that did not involve a deportation process.
Since autocorrect screwed me, let’s try again… ICYMI: time’s drawing short for Senate Dems (or at least 41 of them) to draw a bright red line: no crypto-friendly regulation until Trump fully divests from his bribery vehicles.
Max, how did you opt out?
Exactly this. Thanks for writing
BREAKING! The US just lost our AAA credit rating. Thanks Donald and the Republican Party. Moody's just downgraded the United States. They were the last holdout of the big three rating agencies. www.reuters.com/markets/us/m...
ALERT: Moody's downgrades US credit rating Credit score lowered from Aaa to Aa1 Downgrade "reflects the increase over more than a decade in govt. debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns," per credit rating firm
The problem with the Joe Biden is old discussion is that his administration was professional, effective and stable. Cabinet had only two step down- Marty Walsh and Marcia Fudge. Focus on the performance of the administration and critique that, not Bidens age.
I love this so much
President Biden and Trump could have stopped this, but establishment Republicans and Democrats went along with it. It's a sin. It's a genocide. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/w...
Can his action just be ignored?
Brilliant!
But wait! Appeal being filed with NC Appeals Court!
Note the raccoon and JD Vance wear the same eyeliner.
It is a start.
In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.
No, Trump is not playing five dimmensional chess. He knows less about the Constitution, his job, and the operation of govt than any president in history (including William Henry Harrison who was dead after the first month)
Paul Weiss, feel free to renege as that is a common Trump approach. Tell Trump you learned from the best.
Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...
I dont think Trump feels he owes anyone from 2016 or any other time. Russia has present day leverage over him. I say this based on his other “agreements” that he routinely ignores. What Russia has is the question. Is Trump Hotel Moscow enough to keep Trump compliant?
Researchers came to America for education, collaboration and money. It is no surprise that they would leave for those elements overseas.
Why do people (here, NYT) still describe DOGE as a cost-cutting team when ... it hasn't? Just on lost tax revenues alone it's deeply in the hole. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...
So, DOD, on what basis did you do this? Did it violate your oath to uphold the Constitution? Who gave the order?
I guess they will cure it to kill it. He comes home.
Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me
An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”
I wonder on what basis Alito and Thomas made their dissent on. Anyone care to speculate?
Last night, US Judge Sweeney in Colo granted district-wide (state-wide) class habeas TRO to stop Trump from summarily removing aliens under his Alien Enemies Act proclamation. @ACLU attys had warned that, despite SCOTUS ruling, Admin won't commit to providing even 24 hrs notice. 1/2
So Trump, you want to deport “homegrown” criminals? Only one of you has 34 felony convictions, was found liable for sexual assault, impeached 2x, and is actively tearing this country apart. Look in the mirror,it’s you. Not sure you’d survive a gulag-you dodged military service because of bone spurs!
Since the administration is paying El Salvador, they can simply stop paying them to leverage the return of a prisoner. I am certain El Salvador would comply-they want the money.
If we had a functional Congress, it could simply defund the Executive branch and say, see you in court.
Import taxes that remain WILL push higher prices. Prices don’t go down when greater taxes are placed on products. Do the math and correct the sentence please.
He is a most unChristian Christian.
How about this Trump like action? You get a bailout but you have to vote Democratic for the next 12 years. Seems fair.
There won't be anything to burn down after Trump and Musk are done. We all will have to build Our House back from the rubble of their wreckage, with a vision for a more secure, safe, free, and prosperous democracy for us all.
Well, he is skilled at that, Josh.
💯 Dems should also commit to a specific position: Trump has not honored the promises and agreements of his predecessors and we will not honor his. If you're gullible enough to trust an assurance from Trump, understand that it is gone the moment he is.
How the fuck does anyone admire this needy bitch
Page 11 of the Boston Globe, even though Boston Common was packed.
Peter Navarro is an idiot who should have the microphone taken away from him.
Every retailer in America should display the original price of an item along with the new tariffed price. Let it sink in for the slowest in the herd. Tariffs are a tax. You're paying for them.
Really looking forward to Jeff Bezos' forceful public condemnation of Trump's tariffs since he is so committed to "free markets" that he made a rule that every opinion piece published in the Washington Post must support "free markets" For some reason, Bezos hasn't said anything yet. Must be busy.
Navarro should be banned from discussing economics on TV. He has little training and is nearly always wrong. Call me CNN, I can be right more often that that dope and I am nobody!
I don't want Canada or Greenland… I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian. CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! 🤚
Mike, refer to Medicaid by the name of the funded California program so poorly informed people understand. In Mass, it is MassHealth and that is what people know. Medicaid is Beltway speak.
They're breaking everything so they can say it is broken and eliminate it or privatize it. Any guesses where all the social security taxes collected will go? Inspiring leadership.
With Trump running to the Supreme Court all the time on emergency appeals, it reminds me of the kid who runs home crying to mommy after losing at hopscotch in the driveway. Whiny!
If it is illegal, how about arresting the guy? He is going to be in the state.
To the law firms out there in the USA…. Our republic matters more than your billable hours. Thank you Perkins Coie and Wilmer Hale for standing up and fighting. If you work at Paul Weiss, buff your CV and leave the place.
I have a different perspective. The Paul Weiss lawyers who are being screwed by the managing partner need to leave. Primarily this would be private sector corporate types that have no involvement in government work. I think this is both horrible and an opportunity. Makes sense to me- not craven.
Well, will you look at that. A federal employee is facing severe punishment because they accidentally added a reporter to a group email. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
