Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois.
Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money.
Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.
As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…
Eisenhower's globe survived the war and 80 years of history. Couldn't survive Pete Hegseth's Pentagon. That's not a metaphor, that's a performance review.
Bad men gain power when we don't fight back.
Vivek Ramaswamy is everything wrong with politics: arrogance, cruelty, dishonesty, and a willingness to do ANYTHING for power.
Ohio deserves better.
I'm proud that my wife, MK, is supporting Dr. Amy Acton today.
Trump was embarrassed by the coverage of his new Press Sec, but he's not embarrassed by the fact that he's sold out the United States to Putin and Netanyahu.
It tells you everything you need to know about the man.
Never thought I’d thank Trump, but my wife and I each received that $90 Medicare rebate. We donated $180 to thecDSCC via Act Blue and hit a 3X match! I urge all seniors to do the same
I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .

Add Karen Smith to my list of badasses whose mouthy approach I respect. Actions usually speak louder than words.
This is a hero, Y'all. Well done, Ma'am. You're gonna kick ass in your new position. ✊📖
Kavanaugh says that Constitution is an "enduring document" and that new exceptions to birthright citizenship can be added for "modern situations that were unknown or unanticipated by the Constitution’s Framers"
I engage with MAGA every day. So many MAGA folk believe this lie. So many of them. Just makes me so damn sad. And makes me so damn fucking pissed off at Trump & all the others for spreading this lie and this fear.👇
Eric Schmitt got every detail right about Jack Smith‘s basketball game. Except the team, the league, the gender, the city and the state. Magats constantly prove the infinite depth of their stupidity.
The American Bar Association laid out the receipts.
Big donors get appointments. Big money flows in, investigations disappear, pardons follow, regulations loosen and foreign governments get favorable treatment.
The article calls it an “unprecedented pay-to-play culture.”

If you're angry about the men at Cornell University, wait until I tell you about the men in the White House, the Pentagon, health and human services, and on the Supreme Court.
Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett.
All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.
Why did Eric Schmitt fuck up his gotcha moment so badly?
No one involved considered the possibility that Jack Smith attended a women’s basketball game.
A MAGAt undone by misogyny.
Not at all surprising.
This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇
Honestly, the scariest thing about the last ten years has been realizing that over a third of the country just watches democracy get dismantled and acts like it's totally normal.
