Sitting next to the Norwegian Prime Minister today, President Donald Trump told reporters that the U.S. has spent $350 billion to help Ukraine. This is inaccurate. That's nearly double the amount that Congress has approved since the war began. buff.ly/MIHrUI5

It is what happens when you have the emotional quotient of a temper tantrum throwing child as the leader of your country… The dumbing down of America has truly peaked.

Donald Trump Goes Full Authoritarian In New Attack On Democratic Party Taking a page from authoritarians around the world, Trump is targeting his political opposition with criminal investigations.

Trump’s executive action targeting ActBlue is a “brazen attack on democracy in America."

Beware the erosion of the traditional separation between the White House and the Department of Justice.

reporting on this has really got to get better about communicating the magnitude of the breach here. if you read the nyt article with minimal context, you would have no sense that this was watergate-level impeachable misconduct

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

Exactly now MSM do the story on all the companies and people who over extended to beat tariffs… and especially the impact that will end up having while Cheeto continues to grift…

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs.
That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result.

Remember: whatever happens from here on out the Dems who vote for this GOP budget are complicit. Because they willingly surrendered the power they had to stop it.

The idea that allowing what’s been happening the last two months to continue is a way to avoid “blame” is madness

McGovern: The stock market is going down. Planes are going down. We've had several major accidents, several close calls, and we just learned that Elon Musk, the guy whose rocket just exploded, wants to fire air traffic controllers. Make that make sense.
