Trump says anyone running for president should take a cognitive exam because you could end being stuck with a moron for years.
“I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in and all of a sudden you're stuck with a man who's a moron”
The systematic demolition of the Voting Rights Act is complete: 6 people in robes just spit on the graves of every civil rights hero who bled for the right to vote. This isn’t a ruling. It’s a betrayal of our history and a direct assault on our future.
Wake the hell up, America!
“The next president must say on day one: We’re tearing down this arch; we’re razing Trump’s ballroom…Washington ceremonial architecture must be returned to the purpose for which it exists—to promote democracy, not the demented ego of one sick man.”

They have called us back at midnight to cast a secret vote to reauthorize FISA while America sleeps. A yes vote gives Trump more power to surveil Americans.
Every Democrat must vote no. Everyone who loves the constitution must vote no.
BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran.
These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East.
And they put Trump's ego before America.
Every damn time.
The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-authoritarian, pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/

It was called the JCPOA.
And Trump TORE IT UP IN 2018 out of spite for @BarackObama
8 years later, here we are.
Total. Disaster.
If we survive Trump, Dems will run up huge numbers in 2026 & 2028, like 2006 & '08.
But if the next President doesn't govern like FDR, broad reforms, corruption prosecutions, landmark legislation, we end up right back here.
Winning isn't enough. Dems have to change things.
Mary Trump on Democrats who want to return to normal after Trump: “If you think the solution to these horrors is to go back to where we were and resurrect the situations that made these horrors possible, you’re not a serious person. If you aren’t willing to reform the Supreme Court in significant ways. If you are not willing to undo every single thing Donald’s done and do away completely with traditions and norms and start codifying everything. If you’re not willing to get rid of the filibuster. If you’re not willing to draw a bright line in terms of Netanyahu’s government and in terms of Russia. If you’re not willing to abolish ICE and I would argue DHS also needs to be abolished”
The lead article in #LePoint from #France (“The Great Heist”)is an extensive investigation into the intersection of Trump’s second term and his and family’s private business interests. The report argues that the White House under Trump has shockingly been transformed into a "cash machine" for the #Trump family and their associates.
Key themes of the article include:
1. The "Crypto-President": The report examines how the administration’s shift toward pro-crypto policies coincided with the launch of Trump-branded digital assets and "World Liberty Financial," alleging that regulatory decisions are being influenced by the President's personal holdings.
2. Insider Trading Allegations: Le Point investigates "troubling" market fluctuations that occur immediately following the President's social media posts or policy announcements. It suggests that a small circle of "insiders" may be profiting from prior knowledge of these shifts.
3. Real Estate & Private Clubs: The article details how foreign delegations and lobbyists continue to frequent Trump-owned properties (like Mar-a-Lago), creating a system where access to the Commander-in-Chief is effectively a commercial transaction.
4. The "Trumpification" of Washington: Beyond the money, the article describes an "aesthetic of power," where the President’s personal brand—symbolized by the gold coin shown on the cover—is being merged with the official symbols of the American state as the country approaches its 250th anniversary.
The tone of the piece is highly critical, framing these actions not just as ethical lapses, but as a systematic "heist" of democratic norms for private gain.
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
