More strongman moves from a weak President. Good to see these legislators reject the threats of violence and retribution. They stood up to the bully and did what they believed was right. That's how leaders should act in a Democracy.

Apparently we’ve established that if the US can seize the largest tanker off Venezuela, it can just as easily seize a small, alleged drug boat without murdering the occupants.

Trump is frustrated by Russia and Ukraine's failure to agree to end the war. Maybe if he spent some time understanding the conflict, he would not be so frustrated.

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption.

This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

I am glad Trump insists his health is perfect & it is sedition to say otherwise!!

Why, am I glad?

Means he cannot claim insanity as a defense when he is being sentenced, hopefully for sedition with a death penalty.

If, as Trump claims, they've taken in $18 TRILLION in tariff money, then why would soybean farmers only be getting $12B of this........which doesn't even cover a fraction of their losses due to these same tariffs?

Make it make sense.

SCOTUS found Biden didn't have authority to cut student loans without Congress.

Yet, they find Trump has the authority to eliminate entire agencies on a whim.

Most compromised Supreme Court in history.

Biased. Rum. Amok. 😎✨

ACA was set up to keep expanding to higher and higher incomes and lower and lower age brackets (over 55, over 45 etc) until it became Medicare for all. Gradually and painlessly while not ending employer provided. But GOP immediately ended the healthcare requirement which derailed it from the start

Health care subsidies do not cause rising healthcare costs. Rising health care costs cause the need for increased subsidies. Obamacare didn’t resolve high healthcare costs. It made the healthcare system accessible for many. It was a start.

The GOP is lazy and deceptive.

It's been over three weeks and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

We often use Benedict Arnold to represent great treason. But Trump has far outpaced his treason. From stolen secret documents that keep our nation secure to using our tax dollars to aid our greatest enemy during a time of war… no one has harmed our nation more. It’s not even close.
So, now Trump is going to bail out Moscow.

This actually aged well. It’s time to wake up and call Trump out now for his one-sided transactional plan that isn’t a peace plan, it’s a Ukraine surrender plan and Russian bailout.

After his financial disasters two decades ago, no U.S. bank would touch him. Then foreign money began flowing in.

How about we have an age limit for the President of the United States prior to taking office?

I propose 65 years old.

There should ALSO be a cognitive test and a MINIMUM background of 10 years of successful government service.

Coming up through
the ranks, as it were.

(ATC's minimum is 32 years.)

Energy efficiency and demand flexibility can avoid costly power grid buildout, but utilities rarely invest in them because utities profit by putting steel in the ground. This is a main barrier to lowering your power bills. Utility regulators have had decades to fix this but few have done anything.

If Universal Healthcare is socialism / communism.

What is the justification for our Universally funded Department of War/Defence???

Guess it is OK for Republicans to have a socialist / communist death tool, that sort of says it all about Republicans !!

Life is just not important to Republicans !!

The United States & Israel need to be cut from shared military & intelligence programs immediately. Removing these pariah states from our security infrastructure is not a political or diplomatic disagreement but a matter of national security. Our people are in danger the longer we turn a blind eye.

So the US just hijacked an oil tanker and the president casually says “I guess we keep the oil”

Is this not just theft
