To all those thinking one person can’t make a difference, I once got an entire playground of kids in elementary school singing Shake Your Booty, simply by singing it out loud during a dodgeball game. You can do more than you realize.

Why doesn’t MAGA just hold its own day of nationwide protests? Are they worried it might not go well? Strange, right?

Let me just say a simple thing.
Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy.
If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

A reminder: Ru and Ukraine have exchanged prisoners steadily throughout the war. The latest exchange isn't a sign of progress towards a diplomatic solution. Ru remains as committed as ever to its maximalist goals; it's planning a summer offensive on Kharkiv.

I wrote a speech for Trump to deliver about his $175 billion Golden Dome defense shield. Get ready to feel something.

After watching President Trump announce plans for a $175 billion “Golden Dome” missile-defense system, I took the liberty of preparing him a speech.

Ru’s primary goal has always been to take Ukraine’s sovereignty, not territory. The land grab is only for leverage towards achieving that end goal. This was true in 2014, in 2022 and now. That’s why territorial concessions by Ukr would solve nothing, that’s why Ru insists on things like…

And when they've broken everything and made people's lives worse in dozens of different ways, the GOP response is going to be complaining that the government is broken and we need to try New Things instead.
No, it was working. They broke it.
Don't let them weasel out of responsibility.

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.
Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.

I would like to propose we change the name of “Sunday” to “Lieday” for the next 4 years. These Sunday interviews are unbearable
Kash Patel: "You know who has to get to stepping? Canada. Because they're making it up there and shipping it down here. And I don't care about getting into this debate about making someone the 51st state or not ... say what you want about Mexico, but they helped up seal the southern border."

Perfect concise summary of how we have completely lost the plot in our National Conversation™️
Today Trump's main legislative initiative died *in committee*, his main domestic policy initiative was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, & his economic shenanigans got the whole country's credit downgraded.
