How are we acting like it’s totally normal to get all dressed up, pack into a ballroom, and invite a complete jackass onstage to insult and threaten you? May as well invite your stalker to your wedding and ask him to give a toast. This is insane, folks. Just full-on crazy.
"That's almost word for word what they told us when we were sold the war in Iraq. Remember 2003?" -- another Pete Buttigieg masterclass on Fox News. There is no Democrat better at communicating to that audience.
Stephen Miller went on Hannity last night and accused Democrats of wanting to seize private industry and hand it to the government. The Trump administration currently holds equity stakes or governance rights in at least ten companies, Intel, IBM, US Steel, MP Materials, and others, at a scale researchers at CSIS and the Cato Institute both describe as unprecedented outside of wartime or economic crisis. Not a hypothetical. Not a scary campaign ad. An actual, ongoing federal ownership stake in the chipmaker that makes your phone's processor.
He said Democrats want to abolish the Constitution. This is the same administration that tried to end birthright citizenship, a right written into the 14th Amendment, through executive order, and got struck down by the Supreme Court for it. The same administration whose Department of Homeland Security has instructed agents to enter homes without warrants, a direct Fourth Amendment violation. The same administration that has tried to suspend the constitutional right to habeas corpus for people it wants to deport without a hearing.
He said Democrats want to abolish the jury system. His own Justice Department just had criminal charges thrown out because of grand jury misconduct so severe a judge couldn't let it stand.
And he said all this after bypassing Congress two hundred seventy separate times through executive order since Trump took office, according to Ballotpedia's own count, while accusing the other party of wanting to abolish the Senate.
This is a man who has never held a job outside government payroll accusing the opposition of wanting to nationalize industry, days after his own boss nationalized part of Intel. Hannity laughed and called it priceless. That's the tell. Nobody on that set actually believed a word of it. They just liked how it sounded.
Let's be clear. Trump is not attacking Iran to stop the threat from that repressive dictatorship to its people, the region, or the U.S. Trump is bombing Iran to try to reopen the Straight of Hormuz that was open before he started his war.
Hegseth will be in the hot seat before congress today.
And there’s no more important issue for members to press him on than this.
Why they are playing with casualty numbers out of Iran??
I’ll have real-time analysis on MSNow with Katy Tur from 315-4ET.
And in CNN with Erin Burnett at 7ET.

Trump lost fair and square in 2020. Only women can get pregnant. The Trump assassination attempts were real. Mitch McConnell is alive. Michelle Obama is not a man. Barack Obama is a citizen. America is less racist than most countries. Police stop crime. Tariffs hurt the economy.
Trump, you lost the 2020 election. If the election was rigged, it was rigged by your administration as your administration was in charge leading up to, during and after the election. There was no foreign interference. There was no fraud. The election was not stolen. You lost old man. I would say deal with it, but that would require a level of emotional maturity you obviously lack.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump Thursday dismissed all remaining commissioners on the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), a bipartisan federal agency created to help states administer elections. https://t.co/0J0GFywIdb
@TimSheehyMT You know they’re diverting $$ from the NPS for Trumps preferred projects right? Ballroom, celebrations.. etc. Stop propping Trump up Senator.
Reports that the White House has dismissed the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — all of whom were unanimously confirmed by the Senate, including a commissioner appointed by President Trump himself — should concern every American, regardless of party, because the EAC was established by Congress as an independent, bipartisan body to help states administer secure and credible elections.
If these reports are accurate, removing every remaining commissioner just months before the 2026 midterm elections is an extraordinary step that demands an immediate explanation from the administration and raises profound concerns about political interference in the institutions that support our elections.
Look how uncomfortable the normally-cocky Scott Jennings looks here when asked to defend Trump’s treatment of E Jean Carroll which a civil court found to be liability for sexual abuse.
A reminder that Dems should still be going much bigger on all the allegations against Trump.
DHS just spent $1.5 billion in taxpayer dollars to buy two California ICE detention centers from CoreCivic, a company Trump holds stock in.
Follow the money and it runs straight back toward the president’s own portfolio.
Do you get it yet?

ICE slam man's head against stone wall—send him to hospital with fractured skull.
Man's hands were already behind his back.
Agents then physically assault legal observers—soon as they realize they're caught on video.
Threaten to shoot witnesses with taser—even firing it up.
Agent holds taser sideways "gangster style"—is this proper training?
Man was taken to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital.
Incident occurred outside the Kane County Judicial Center in the St. Charles suburb of Chicago, Illinois.
Nichols: It’s almost like we have a relative in the room, and there’s something deeply wrong with him. And we’ve all agreed not to talk about it. But there is something deeply wrong with him.
His friends know it, his critics know it. His staff, I’m sure, knows it. The world knows it. World leaders know it. And most importantly, our enemies know it, which is why they don’t take him seriously.
Nobody hangs on his words. They kind of do, but mostly out of freakish curiosity to see what kind of wild thing he’s going to say next, not because his words have any inherent meaning or reflect policy.
You know, I spent years teaching students that when the president speaks, it’s policy, and you must pay attention when the president speaks because nobody can contradict him.
Now, you know, are we really cutting off all trade with Spain? Who knows? Maybe. Maybe not. It might have just been a stray electron, you know, careening around inside his brainpan. Who knows?
But this is really dangerous because in the middle of all this stuff—and we can laugh about, you know, the Islamic Republic of Japan and all of that—but he made several statements about an ongoing war that the United States is losing. And no one’s even trying to pretend that they can make any sense of it.
And I’ll just add one last thing that you just brought up.
If this were any other president, this would be a national crisis. I mean, Joe Biden got somebody’s name wrong, and it was headlines. The president gets all kinds of things wrong, completely, you know, is out to lunch at an important NATO summit, and, you know, it’s Wednesday.
Evergreen post: He could be impeached tonight and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives
Our Founding Fathers envisioned that one day we’d have a lawless president.
But they never envisioned that we’d have a lawless Congress and Supreme Court who would be complicit.
“Turning a blind eye to heresy causes others to fall away from the faith, it causes children to be abused, it causes women to assaulted, and in the end people reject the truth because whatever may have been true was surrounded by lies.”
