If there is one thing that is clear from Donald Trump’s first 100 days, it is that he is not a regular president. But the courts continue to treat him as one, which is what has us barreling towards a full-blown constitutional crisis. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Ghislaine Maxwell raped children and Donald Trump wishes her well, transferred her to a minimum security prison, and keeps repeating his right to pardon her.

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

#Epstein didn’t get rich by accident. He was built, funded, protected. And now, as survivors are gone and the #MAGA machine melts down, the cover-up is cracking. Trump’s name is in the files. #Congress is demanding answers. The firewall is breaking.

Demanding a “thank you” from starving children who have lost everything during a war in which their tiny country was relentlessly bombed is just depraved

It’s bad enough that America elected this person

It’s even worse that his base reveres EVERYTHING he does-and wants to give him even MORE power
REPORTER: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza?

TRUMP: Say it?

R: Should Israel be doing more to allow food?

T: What is she saying?

SOMEONE: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza?

T: You really at least want to have somebody say thank you. We gave $60m for food for Gaza

As with most things from Buttigieg, it’s worth a Listen-through.
A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

Another thing Trump is actively making more expensive: our health insurance premiums.
Cost of Obamacare expected to soar as subsidies expire and insurers hike premiums
People who get their health insurance through the Affordable Care Act could see increases of more than 75% each month, one expert said.

At this point the mere fact that someone is willing to work for Trump, knowing who he is, tells you that they’re willing to debase themselves.
