The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:
•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court
Seriously: Why the hell not?

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

If every one of the 340 million people in America paid a new $35 copay to visit the doctor, that still wouldn’t be enough to cover how much Meta would get from just one tax break in Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

I'm not enjoying the reboot of the "Unprovoked War in the Middle East" reality TV show.
It's just as pointless, but the actors are even stupider. And, frankly, I didn't think that would be possible.

The legislation's official name is "One Big Beautiful Bill". It will add trillions to the national debt, give a tax break to the wealthy, and kick millions off Medicaid. The GOP is so proud of it that the House Rules Committee is holding its hearings at 1 a.m. tonight so nobody will observe them.

Like Caesar’s wife, US presidents were previously supposed to be above reproach. Donald Trump has twisted that into being beyond reproach.

A luxury jet from Qatar qualifies as a gift or emolument, so Donald Trump shouldn’t be allowed to keep it.

Robert Francis Prevost was a surprise choice to Americans used to thinking that no native of a superpower would ever be elected pope. Maybe our status as a fading superpower made it more possible? And he's no MAGAt.
