NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.
They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

With Yoon removed from office today, by my count that makes 34 democratic leaders convicted since 2010. Only one—Trump—faced no real consequences. Trump's actions weren't uncommon. What was exceptional was how our institutions failed to hold him accountable.

Can we Americans still spell C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N? And why did this story break today in the Financial Times, a London newspaper?

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.
All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Remember when every MAGA influencer — and even some politicians — falsely claimed the House GOP budget framework included a ‘no tax on tips’ policy even though it was total bullshit?
Instead, Republicans are trying to cut funding for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits with a Continuing Resolution.

Opinion | Trump Promised Retribution. Turns Out He Had a Very Big Target in Mind. (Gift Article)
It is hard to describe the president’s first month and a half in office as something other than a retribution campaign against the American people.

Using our “global strength” to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. It’s like returning an abuse victim to the abuser’s home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.
