Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.

He's not all powerful.

A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.

Remember this.

The GOP blocked extension of the ACA subsidies. This is morally repugnant, and also everybody knew this fight was lost the second that Senate Dems surrendered on the shut down last month. In the coming primaries, we're looking for Dems who will actually use their power and fight back.

What’s crucial to understand about President Trump’s poor approval numbers, Kristen Soltis Anderson writes, “is that unlike during his last time in the White House, people now disapprove of him because of the economy, not in spite of it.”

Thinking of that time when my dad, himself a doctor, was thrown by a horse on a trail ride. Punctured his spleen, internal bleeding, got him to an ER just in time. He lived another 20 years. With two hours delay, probably wouldn't have.

We rushed to *nearest* ER. Not comparison-shop for ER prices.

Trump and his family are in business with Russia and the Gulf Arab states to loot and plunder, and destroy the West and our democracies along the way.

It's Bond Villain level stuff, and we should be fighting it with everything we got.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Trump is weakened. MAGA is at its lowest point of popularity. They’ve seen defeat after defeat electorally. And some of the staunchest supporters are fleeing the ship. Not only is the regime beatable, but we’re beating it.

I have been criticized for using gendered language to criticize the man-boys of the Trump coalition.

Fair enough, but the fact remains that white men in particular need white power to avoid taking responsibility for themselves.

I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse.

There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.
