The seeds of Trump’s destruction have already been sown. Between the crashing economy, his brazen corruption, and the Epstein scandal, it's a question of when — not if — he's done for. Let's break it all down on an all-new Coffee Klatch. https://youtu.be/qOhcfr9_n9M?feature=shared

The US has been the de facto world leader for 80 years since WWII. In just a few months, Republicans have made the US far weaker and less relevant than at any time in living memory.
My latest: On how despite all Trump's efforts to the contrary, his is an incredible shrinking presidency. Unfortunately, he is also making the entire US weaker and less relevant along the way. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

Middle and low-income earners’ consumer confidence is plummeting, while high earners’ is going up. Be warned: this spells doom for our consumer spending-driven economy.

Remember during the Yalta conference when FDR went on and on about how busy DC's bars were, and Stalin was like, have you seen the lines outside the Moscow bars, and poor Churchill couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Trump on DC: "The restaurants the last two days were busier than they've been in a long time." (Data in fact shows restaurant business dropping sharply over last week.)

"The president is creating a diversion of a make believe, fake situation." The former vice chief of the National Guard Bureau, Retired Major General Randy Manner, is right: President Trump is abusing emergency powers for political gain.

Front page of Drudge right now… why don’t Republicans want to hear from Maxwell? @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett care to comment? (Hint: The ‘closest friends’ probably weren’t just bowling buddies, y’all) www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Trump is skipping over all potential checks on use of force. Intl law - no claim of self defense. US law - no AUMF, does not meet WPR criteria, Article 2 so stretched it’s tearing. Partisan congressional notification only. Intel and defense principals objected. Vast majority of Americans opposed. 1/

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?
When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Larry Summers on the tariffs. "This is the equivalent of an increase of perhaps $50 in the price of oil. [So] we are poorer. We spend less. And that means fewer jobs and more unemployment. We have administered a self-imposed supply shock to ourselves." youtube.com/shorts/rohNm...

The Trump admin's proposed rule in the Federal Register could turn up to 50,000 civil servants into political appointees. There's a mechanism to fight the proposal, but first you have to notice. Then comment. Our latest, @www.AllRiseNews.com www.allrisenews.com/p/trump-purg...

Pete Hegseth installed Signal on a secure Pentagon computer—then used it to leak strike plans straight from a classified system. This isn’t a “glitch.” This is deliberate, dangerous, and disqualifying. He’s a severe national security threat. Fire him. MORE: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
