"The UFC event captures something about this moment in our history.
After all, it’s vulgar, it’s violent, it’s commercial, it’s grandiose, it’s tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

Trump used the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon — soldiers who escort fallen heroes and heads of state — to usher UFC fighters past Abraham Lincoln’s statue like they’re celebrities on a red carpet. I am LIVID. And everyone else should be too.
This is a bottomless pit of corruption, large and small.
Every aspect of the presidency is being treated by @POTUS and his family as an opportunity to cash in.
No one has ever seen anything like it! https://t.co/1iA9rfFcXW
Idaho adopted no-excuse mail-in voting in 1972. Washington did it in 1974. California in 1978. Iowa in 1990. Arizona, Wyoming and Vermont in 1991. Nebraska in 1997. Oregon in 1998. Wisconsin and Florida did it in 2001. NC in 2002. Ohio in 2005. Georgia, Illinois, and NJ in 2006.
Trump wants Congress to "expunge" his impeachments from the historical record.
There's just one problem: history doesn't work that way.
A vote can't erase what happened. It can't erase January 6th. And it can't erase the record future generations will read. (link in reply)
RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research.
Alzheimers.
One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today.
He's not interested.
He's a nasty piece of work.
28 years and Hegseth cancels it. This isn’t anti-DEI. It’s hate designed to push them out of service. — Air Force cites DEI ban in cancellation of wreath-laying honoring women vets https://t.co/Lu6vBCVJ8R
Elias: Why does California have signature matching? They have it to satisfy the same right-wing zealots who claim there’s fraud, right?
So they do this whole kabuki theater that takes all of this time in order to contend with the fact that people say that if you don’t do signature matching, there’s going to be fraud. And then they get attacked for taking the time to do that very thing.
The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.
I'm sure all the people who spent years attacking Obama for giving "pallets of cash" to Iran will be just as outraged by Trump telling the UAE to give Iran $10 billion, right?
Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants.
According to him, it wasn’t workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet:
“These people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didn’t build the country…. Whether it’s fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything.”
"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history.
It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."
