"It doesn’t seem to have occurred to the administration that spending the last several months going scorched earth on the rest of the world might make other countries the tiniest bit disinclined to deal with us."
We're the baddies now. Our new Security Strategy shows it.

I feel like Indiana abandoning Trump is a tipping point. And it’s not because they didn’t want a new map. It’s because he shook them down.

Democrats, we need to talk.

These 8 senators let themselves get played by Republicans on reopening the government, and every one of us knew exactly how this would go. They handed Republicans the only leverage we had in the healthcare fight.

Talk about the feds trying to boss the states around and commandeer them, which the Supreme Court has made clear violates the 10th Am. This is a down-the-middle state function that the feds have no business monkeying in, let alone trying to control.
and by the way, Cong has the funding authority.
Republicans announce the entire state of Indiana will be defunded if they do not obey Trump by gerrymandering their state.

Instead of focusing on governing, Trump spends his days chasing entertainment, attention and renovation projects that reflect a presidency stuck in adolescence.

Hegseth stonewalled IG, refusing 1) to provide his phone for IG to probe other uses of Signal; 2) to sit for interview w/ IG. We only know about Yemeni Signal chat b/ Waltz added Goldberg to it by mistake. The scale and scope of Hegseth's security breaches still remain unknown even after IG report.
Officials reported the Secretary used additional Signal chats for DoD business. IG couldn’t verify content because he refused to provide phone access.

Workers at Caesars Horseshoe Casino in Indiana this week are voting to form a union in the face of aggressive and illegal union busting.

I applaud their courageous effort and strongly support their fight for a union against outrageous corporate greed.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

SCOOP: Dan Richman, a key figure in the now-dismissed case against James Comey, has filed suit over the gov't's handling of data seized from his devices.

He says his constitutional rights were violated — and seeks to block DOJ from further use of the materials.

is right to ring the alarm…

Congress has to make AI a priority. Legislators let social media go unregulated and we all see the fallout. It’s the Wild West. We cannot let the same thing happen with AI.

If Congress sleeps on this, we’re in trouble.
