Nothing proves the Trump administration is made of mean whims based on lies better than a president who is murdering people in boats "because I am so strongly against drug trafficking" pardoning someone who trafficked more drugs than a hundred fishing boats could carry.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Tennessee’s 7th can keep feeding GOP cruelty or help real people. This one seemingly small election is going to decide if people starve (SNAP benefits), live (ACA subsidies) and protect pedophiles (Epstein). This is not about (D) vs (R) it's your moment in history to stand up for what is right.

Trump Defends White House Demolition, Says East Wing Was Ugly Anyway
“The East Wing was not much,” Trump argued, so it shouldn’t “hurt a very expensive, beautiful building” like his White House ballroom.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

The Young Republican chat leak isn’t about “kids telling jokes.” It’s about a culture that’s been decades in the making—from the Southern Strategy to Trump’s open embrace of white nationalism. J.D. Vance’s defense of it shows how far the party has fallen.

Organizers of No Kings need a plan to build on momentum from Saturday. One problem is that getting equal/better turnout will be a problem with winter closing in. Maybe a "No Oligarchs January", a month-long boycott of the likes of Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, Murdoch and other major Trump funders.
