Being a Minnesotan, I am really tired of being put down by the POTUS. What a big bully and a big baby all at the same time.

A severely mentally ill man has control of the launch codes for America's nuclear arsenal, but it doesn't seem that many people care.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

I try to avoid taking the bait and amplifying a message that is posted with an obvious desire to divide and conquer, but every voter needs to see this one. This man is unfit for office.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Officer Panning is absolutely right: ICE’s presence is making our communities less safe and making local law enforcement’s jobs more difficult.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

This is the 7th person whose sentence was commuted by Trump that has been rearrested on new charges. And don't pretend Trump cares about fraud in MN. This guy bilked over a $1 billion and Trump let him go.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

It's a powerful ad from @interfaithalliance.org and @protectdemocracy.org you can see here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eALK...

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust. He has proven these points virtually every day since. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"Their expertise ranges from ordering war crimes to covering up sex crimes to engaging in all manner of financial criminality. They’re a diverse bunch, from tough guys outfitted in combat gear and masks, to smooth operators in tuxedoes who mingle at state dinners." www.thebulwark.com/p/sex-crimes...

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. There’s no vote required if he wants to release them! The only reason the house was voting was because he refused. This is an obviously cynical ploy and major news outlets are running whole pieces without pointing this out. He could release them tonight.

She's a politician, running for Congress in Illinois. She attended a protest against ICE. ICE brutalized her, tear gassed her, body slammed her to the ground. And now *she's* been arrested for 'hindering' ICE. She faces eight years in prison. This is fascism.

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of psychosis, contact a mental health professional or seek emergency services immediately. Untreated psychosis can lead to worsening mental health outcomes and significant social and functional decline

There’s only one person he cares about.

This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway. Read all of it. He wrecks them: newrepublic.com/article/1999...

Learn to decipher the codespeak.

They’re making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where he’s never lived. They’re simply fucking vile.

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.

Mr. President, you love playing the schoolyard bully but, at age 79, it’s time to cut it out. It’s one thing to steal one kid’s lunch money, but your bill STEALS LUNCH MONEY FROM MILLIONS OF KIDS. Now, that’s real ugly.

When the ICE gulag is built, the personnel hired and trained, and the machinery for deportations and detentions fine tuned, there’s little possibility of it being dismantled after reaching their targets, not if Trump and his ilk are running things. This is a set up for a police state.

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.

"They say with Trump accusation is confession. Having warned during the 2024 campaign that Joe Biden, then Kamala Harris, would trigger “world war three”, Trump is now offering a perilous test of that proposition." My take. www.ft.com/content/c689...

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

I suppose all this tripe about Biden's age might be important to know, but it belongs on the History Channel. It's not news. You know what's news? The president deploying the military against US citizens. The Billionaire Bailout Bill. DOGE getting access to our private data. THAT is news.

Let’s be clear - Donald Trump's mobilization of the military isn't about safety. It's a brute force tactic intended to silence dissent, create chaos, and intimidate anyone who dares to challenge the administration's agenda.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Well done, Miss Feldman.

DOGE's next target should be the White House, not cancer researchers, food safety inspectors and air traffic controllers. Trump is plundering the taxpayers and draining the coffers of the people. That's monarchy, not democracy.

Ladies, do you know about the Equal Opportunity Credit Act? Since 1974, it has let you get a credit card, or a business loan, or a bank account, without the signature of a male relative. The regime wants to kill it and has taken the first boundary-testing step to do so. 🤬

“Of all the tools in the tyrant-toppling toolbox, none are so potentially decisive as those supplied by Trump’s own stupidity.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Here is a list of critical federal health programs for families that they want to cut. Without these programs families will have fewer resources to care for loved ones, young and old. Those on the edge will fall into poverty. Call your reps.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.
