I get that these guys have no shame, but that doesn’t mean we should give them a pass for it. Shame on Johnson and shame on the Republican Party that won’t call this out even though they know it’s wrong.
Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla.
You read that right.

Happy Loving Day! 58 years ago today, Mildred and Richard Loving—a couple from Virginia—won a historic legal battle in the Supreme Court to end state bans on interracial marriage. Today, we celebrate their bravery and love as we continue our work to end discrimination and racism.

Trump understands that tariff threats like the ones he posted this morning move markets downward. He's not ignorant about that dynamic. The question is which person or interest around him is gaining from it.

House Republicans smuggled this👇attack on the federal judiciary into their reconciliation bill. Courts rarely require plaintiffs to post security, so this provision, if passed into law, would render a vast number of existing judgments—including Boasberg's contempt order—effectively unenforceable.

Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."

Wow. Remember Trump trying to publicly humiliate the Governor of Maine and she calmly responded by saying she'd see him in court. She saw him court.
She won.
It pays to stand up to bullies.
She won.

When famously squaring off with President Donald Trump over education funding, Mills said she would see Trump in court. She did just that, and on Friday she won a settlement for her state, for the kids and for people everywhere who needed to see a certain asshole bully get punched right in the eye.

The renaming of Veteran’s Day to “Victory Day for World War I” is not about vets or victories. It’s a projection of strength towards you, the American. Trump wants you to fear him, so he’s reminding you who has all the tanks and bombs.

This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"
