Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

"The larger dynamic is that Trump isn’t merely pushing to redefine the boundaries of the law or even the Constitution," Jonathan Chait writes. "He is rejecting the principle that the law constrains him at all."
The Governor Who Stood up to Trump
The president sees himself as national king, and every other American—including Maine Governor Janet Mills—as one of his quavering subjects.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Trump's funding-freeze fiasco should demonstrate to Democrats that speaking loudly in unison is a pretty good way to set the media agenda and to alert voters that something is gravely amiss with his assaults on rule of law and constitutional governance:

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?
