They have no intention to release the files and will use the bogus SDNY "investigation" to claim they cannot. We are all suckers as far as the White House and Pam Bondi are concerned.

Is it too much to expect that Congress engage in rational policy making to address immigration (we need it), inflation (hello, tariffs don't help), income inequality (executive pay, taxation, shareholder rights) and executive overreach (war with Venezuela anyone?)

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

When Trump announced 4 days ago randomly that India agreed to stop buying Russia oil, I was surprised because Russia is their largest supplier, we are still in a trade war with India, and their govt has said nothing about it. Turns out he just lied and made it up. Shocker.

My take on the Bolton indictment - he's in jeopardy, but so are we all
The political context for John Bolton's indictment taints the entire proceedings
While this case appears more substantive than those against other Trump foes, whether Bolton mishandled classified information may be beside the point.

As deeply upset and disappointed I am in Biden's team for hiding his physical and mental decline, we must continue to call on those around Trump to honestly assess his diminished capacity, leaving us with the Stephen Milers of his administration in charge of our country.

Gen. Mark Milley was right, Trump is a fascist to the core. Trump's unhinged speech to generals today about "the enemy within" is just another example. We must rise.
