Oh, he’s in there all right. I just hope his powerful pals in power (like Pam Bondi) don’t doctor the files and present us with a super-redacted phony version to vindicate Trump.

Stacey Abrams elucidates the stages a country goes through on the road to autocracy. This brilliant warning about Donald J. Trump caused Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s press secretary (AKA Bullshit Barbie) to flip out completely and call Abrams “stupid,” which couldn’t be further from the truth.

No Kings Day, Beaverton, Oregon. A large spirited anti-Trump rally after a particularly horrific week in America. There were rallies in all 50 states, in small towns and big cities, and it went beyond red and blue politics. This was more about right vs wrong.

Trump’s self-glorifying military birthday Saturday will cost us roughly $45 million and look like something in Russia or North Korea with rolling tanks and missiles and dictator-sized photos of our scowlng leader, but there will also be protests in all 50 states. See you there! Let freedom ring!

Trump's "big beautiful bill" passed after spineless Speaker Johnson satisfied GOP hardliners. Apparently, the bill's Medicaid cuts weren’t devastating enough, so they made it worse. Someone’s got to pay for Trump’s tax breaks for billionaires, so why not the poor, the retired, and the needy?

It's been a great couple days with Trump's big failure in the Supreme Court and his "big, beautiful bill" going down in flames--his deranged Tweets whining about Springsteen, Taylor Swift, and Robert De Niro after they publicly denounced him--and this plantation from slavery days burning down.
