Our Detroit staff has received reports from Ford workers that the President's body odor was "like bad breath mixed with feces -- I can't describe it, but I'll never forget it"

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

This SHOULD clear it up for anyone thinking he doesn't want to be a dictator.

Trump is jamming the news cycle full of awful things to distract usβ€”but we can’t stop talking about the Epstein Files.

I’m fighting to enforce the law and make the sure the full files are released.

Renee Nicole Good was murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.

The next could be you.

What’s at stake isn’t just American democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.

This is personal β€” to every one of us.

Goldman: Until DHS reins in this rogue and authoritarian ICE secret police force, there should be no more funding provided to DHS.

Congressman Ted Lieu, a former Air Force veteran, issued a stark warning to U.S. military members, that military action against Greenland without explicit congressional authorization would constitute following illegal orders.

House Speaker Mike Johnson apparently doesn’t understand how our justice system works. He said if Fed Chair Jerome Powell is innocent, β€œthen he can prove that.” No, Mikey, he doesn’t need to prove he’s innocent. His accusers need to prove he’s guilty.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.

Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

I'd like to request an ad in the next print Onion promoting Hilton Hotels' new slogan "The Official Innkeeper for ICE!"

I imagine "generously interpreting" rules is more common in ttrpgs (players at my own table come to mind...), but you for sure find it when playing Monopoly and Uno, too!

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

When will it become a stretch to far?

Killing Americans
Killing immigrants
Invading Countries
Playing Pretend President
Grifting:Meme Coins/Crypto
Threats against its own government
Giving taxpayers dollars to other countries
The Presidency is for sale

When will enough be enough?

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants.

But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

Whether in 2026 or 2028, there will be a reckoning. Even if Trump gave a mass pardon (he would have to use an autopen to pardon 21K agents) there would still be civil action open to the folks who were harmed. πŸ—½
