If you take Trump's word at face value, I immediately question your intellect. That's 100% on you, not me.

Trump doesn't pay taxes. So why should you? Trump pulled in $1.4bn from crypto grifts in 2025, plus more than $200mn from real estate, and faced a projected tax bill north of $500mn. So his company donated the "development rights" to his Jupiter, Florida golf course to a land trust, argued the

I asked my Republican colleagues to explain why they want to ban the IRS from providing an online tool that ALREADY EXISTS to allow people to file their taxes for free. *Silence* Every Republican voted against @gluesenkampperez.house.gov's amendment to allow the IRS to offer Direct File.

So many of these Trumpers are dismissed as just currying favor by sucking up to him via insane praise when in reality many are his prideful foot soldiers. Let's remember them ALL on the backend of this nightmare.

Trump on Iranian leaders: "They're gonna make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing actually. They gave us a present, and it arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I'm not gonna tell you what that present is but it was very significant prize"

if you read nothing else from rodger sherman in your entire life please read these paragraphs from the end of his newsletter, possibly the most important paragraphs anyone has ever written about Team USA

THE FINAL SPORTS! NEWSLETTER OF THE OLYMPICS Team USA had its best Winter Olympics ever. I wrote about why we can never let the worst things about America keep us from celebrating the best things about America. Also, bobsled and cross-country skiing results!

Clown car? Total clickbait nonsense. '96: Clinton running for reelection '00: Gore as VP was obvious front-runner '04: Gore's early FR status sure didn't last '08: HRC's FR status sure didn't matter

CNN Harry Enten Re: Gavin Newsom... It's a downright clown car/mess for the Dems ahead of 2028... No one is close to clearing 25% in early national polling for the first since the 1992 cycle. Newsom is flailing a bit after a hot summer, as interest in him on Google is down over 60% from August.

Hey Welker, stop allowing blatant liars to spew their BS -- leave that to Fox etc. It doesn't matter what their title is, it is not your job as a journalist to provide him the stage to spread his horseshit "talking points."

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”. Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists. Name them, record them, and make it public.

They lived, worked, served—and hundreds of them gave their lives—side by side with American troops. Anyone who served in Afghanistan knows how much this mattered, and we will never forget.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

We all know this has ZERO to do with security and everything to do with resource extraction. Why does Welker -- or any other journalist -- allow them to paint this as some kind of need to keep Americans safe?

Bessent on Greenland: "Peace through strength. Make it part of the US and there will not be a conflict because the US right now, we're the hottest country in the world, we're the strongest country in the world. Europeans project weakness. The US projects strength."

W/in 4 days of his assassination she's hellbent on fundraising off it by accusing the vast left of conspiracy by proxy. Will the media allow my empathy towards her horrible situation to wane a bit? Just want to know how we're allowed to act while the Ku Klux Kristians label us as vermin.

Trump: "When you go to a voting booth, and you do it the right way, and you go to a state that runs it properly, you go in -- they even asked me, they asked me for my license plate. I said, 'I don't know if I have it.' They said, 'Sir, you have to have it.' I was very impressed actually."

Watch every second of this. Our worst fears are here. With Trump’s new bill, the police state is no longer looming—it’s official. Expect more raids on a massive scale, shattered families, and a brutal crackdown on humanitarian protections.

there was not "intense social pressure" to stop saying 'master bedroom' and 'brown bag lunch,' bffr. If you were a national pundit with millions of readers you would get some annoying twitter replies and emails. Ordinary people with normal jobs were not experiencing this.

All these linguistic changes are stupid and should be resisted; forced in this case means some institutions adopted policies on use of this kind of language, occasionally defined it as harassment when people didn't go along with it, and at lightest in some places there was intense social pressure.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.
