The most shocking thing to me regarding Trump / MAGA is how shocked everyone else seems to be that it has happened.

In an unhinged dissent in our Texas redistricting victory, a GOP appointed judge seems to believe that George Soros and I did...well, I'm not sure what...but he is very mad. Bigly.

Software utilities, I think, must be treated the same way: regulated (including price) and operated under oversight. Otherwise, they're just a robber-baron monopoly with a stranglehold on the economy.

Willfully ignoring science - especially in vital areas like health, safety, defense, education, climate, and the economy - is a recipe for disaster. We are crippling our nation by dumbing down our children, just to coddle those who are fearfully insecure in their religious faith.

The highest profile of all Trump's revenge prosecutions is that against former FBI Director James Comey. But the sheer incompetence and stupidity of the prosecution is now attracting a world audience. It seems to say: Trump and his team are indeed evil. But they're also exceptionally stupid.
USA News: Anklage gegen Ex-FBI-Chef Comey wackelt
In seiner ersten Amtszeit feuerte Donald Trump den damaligen FBI-Chef. James Comey wurde dann nach Trumps Druck auf die Justiz angeklagt. Doch jetzt gerät die US-Regierung selbst in den Fokus.

Amazing how racist goon squads can wake people up to danger, but it's unfortunate that everyone had to touch the hot stove to find out it was hot
In the recent New Jersey governor’s race, the Democratic Party clawed back much of the ground it had lost with Hispanic voters in the 2024 presidential race, according to a township-level analysis of results by The New York Times. See the maps.
Maps Show How Latinos Who Shifted Right in 2024 Snapped Back Left in 2025
The New Jersey governor’s race was the first significant sign that President Trump’s success with Hispanic voters in 2024 may have been only a temporary shift.
