It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Faculty at a Big 10 school with a prominent athletic program here: my retirement (that I signed a contract for) was cut 10% this year. I also have to clean my office with a broken, donated vacuum. But this is nice too, I guess.
"Given that the Big Ten is about to create 'a for-profit company using what are essentially public dollars,' [a Penn State trustee] argued, boards need to know more in order to be able to advise their institutions accordingly."

Trump fawning over Mamdani just proves once again that Trump has absolutely no core values except his own power. He has no politics except his own popularity. He believes in nothing except feeling validated.

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.
