Trump's corrupt bribe-for-pardon scheme makes criminals think they're above law if they can write a check to a lobbyist with enough zeros on it.

The U.S. Department of Justice filed an amicus brief Monday supporting Texas’ gerrymandered congressional map, boldly claiming that the much-maligned letter it sent urging state leaders to redistrict was not, in fact, the reason why Texas redrew its map immediately after receiving the letter.

Rand Paul on Trump admin: "They're pretending as if we're at war ... they want to have it both ways.

When Trump admin officials get asked why a certain sector of the economy is so bad, 90% of the time their answers begin with “we inherited.” Did everyone forget what Biden inherited in Jan 2021? Or what Obama inherited in Jan 2009? When are Republicans ever responsible?

Trump’s rapid escalation—from calling Members of Congress “traitors” to urging supporters to “focus all energy” on unfounded claims of election fraud—fits an authoritarian pattern: when power feels threatened, the response is to inflame fear, erode democratic processes, and frame dissent as criminal

Walter Isaacson: Gov’t is based on ‘We the People…it’s not based on the divine right of kings’
Historian Walter Isaacson says the second sentence of The Declaration of Independence is the greatest sentence ever written and explains why in his new book. “That sentence influences everything,” Isaacson tells Ali Velshi. ”Getting people to participate based on that simple mission statement, I think could bring the pendulum back so that we wouldn't be as fractured as we are now,” he said.
