Trump's appearance at this press conference is just so painful, he's living entirely in a destructive fantasy world. I still can't believe this is how far we've fallen.

That’s the thing. It’s just dumb.
In addition to being bad, this is all pretty stupid.

His name is Jonathan Ross. His name must be known. And all U.S. law officers who use lethal force against fellow citizens -- whether seemingly justified or unjustified i early analysis -- must have their names immediately known. How else for us to know whether they've killed one person or ten?
you heard her — put his name on marquees. put it on t-shirts. do drone shows with his name in the middle while the other drones do the macarena around it. light it up.
BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross
KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement
BRENNAN: His name is public
NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said

Congress has the power to levy taxes. Tariffs are a tax. The Executive Branch cannot just magically invent them by fiat. Trump has been claiming this is an emergency to get around this fact, in no world is Greenland an emergency. So, the tariffs are illegal. Shouldn't all conversations start there?

Four GOP Senators.
At most four Repubs in the House.
Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

I can't repeat this enough.
I've said this before and I'll say it again.
It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

Rooting for the ACLU and for all those on the right side of history in defending transgender rights. These high school athletics cases are just a thin pretext for permission to discriminate. It's just one more kind of prejudice everyone will disavow in 25 years. Can we just skip to that part?

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

Stephen Miller is a low-grade Bond Villain who’d be laughed out of any screenwriting class for the lines he’s written for himself. Dear Reporters: it’s ok to laugh at this dork. It’ll just remind him of high school.
