Today is Endangered Species Day. Instead of upholding the Endangered Species Act, Trump's @USFWS wants to delete the word "harm” from the regulation, meaning no penalties for destroying critical habitat needed for survival & recovery-the largest rollback of ESA protections ever.

Morbidly curious if Iran could come up with a gift to Trump big enough to get him to “it’s fine if they have nukes. Big deal.”

Let me let you in on a little secret: The GOP is trying to sneak Trump’s policy wish list, aka his “One Big Beautiful Bill,” into law through a budget gimmick.

I really, really wish the media had payed more attention to Trump's dementia, his word salads and his utter stupidity prior to this election. Sigh.

Donald Trump’s mother was an immigrant — and his father was the son of an immigrant.

Of course, these were white immigrants — like the white South Africans and Scandinavians Trump gleefully welcomes to America. (Trump’s contempt for brown-skinned immigrants is evident.)

We lost our Republic on November 5th.

If you can’t or won’t see that, and you won’t fight this fascism, we’re not getting back.

That isn’t hyperbole, it’s acknowledging reality.

FOTUS received due process throughout his numerous court cases & yet he doesn't mind depriving others of their due process.

When you work for the government nothing of theirs belongs to you. While others have received jail time for taking confidential government documents, he didn't

At least my Republican Senator is honest about his intentions to gut BadgerCare.

The GOP is just haggling over how much to strip from healthcare to fund tax giveaways to the rich.

We are living in a time when monsters roam the globe.

They are destroying countless lives, fueling hate, spreading fear.

What is our moral obligation as human beings in the face of this?

Trump’s DOJ is gutting its voting section by reassigning experts, dropping cases, and rewriting its mission to focus on “voter fraud.” Lawyers say it’s a direct attack on your right to vote.

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

There’s an insane level of corruption in the Trump administration.

This is a bribe from a foreign country, because they know the President of the United States is willing to accept it.

Pay to play. Plain and simple.
