Retired botanist and IT administrator. Trumpet player. Grampy of twin boys. UCC church member. New Mexican. I stand for democracy, which is why I could no longer be a Republican. With fear for our democracy, I dissent as well. Dump 47. No DMs.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

Holding a public execution would put the United States in the category of Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea and Somalia. There were 17 public executions around the world last year confirmed by Amnesty International, 6 in Afghanistan and 11 in Iran.

This is incitement. Racist incitement.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

This is absolutely outrageous. This ought to be getting as much attention as Cornell. This is a sexual and political assault.

@normornstein.bsky.social I am crying out for help, Norm. I am President of Arizona Democratic Women. Bernadette spoke at our Women in Blue event during Women's History month a year ago. She is good and decent courageous Democratic woman doing what she can to end this nightmare. A dark day.😭😭

Cruel, sadistic, and predictable from the partisan hacks on the Roberts Court.

Breaking - The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration to restart its program of removing migrants to countries other than their homeland without giving them an opportunity to raise human rights concerns… will hear arguments later this year www.cnn.com/2026/09/29/p...

Netanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.

Donald Trump hates democracy. He hates free speech & a free press. He hates free & fair elections. He hates an independent judiciary & its duty to justice & the law. Yet he adores murderous dictators, particularly Putin. Who exactly is the enemy of the people? American voters have one more chance.

This has been Trump's plan all along: - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of cities and states that did not vote for him - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections That's how he can rig the 2026 midterms. Recognize it and resist it. #ResistTrump

🗞️As a former Managing Editor of Stars and Stripes I can tell you it is the most important newspaper in the world because it exists to inform and protect our troops from people like the despicable Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump who do not believe they — or anybody for that matter — are owed the truth.

This is the most Republican story you will read all day. A Republican who represents Trump’s home district was arrested for molesting his OWN GRANDSON and could face the death penalty under a state law he sponsored. There has to be a German word for this.

Prisciliano Trejo Ricano begged for a doctor for a week while he coughed up blood. Nobody came. He slipped into a coma… so ICE “released” him and said he’s not their problem. He died July 24. That’s not policy. That’s a body dump with paperwork. F*ck ICE. F*ck Trump.

I think she should be disbarred for suborning perjury to the grand jury. These charges never should have been brought in the first place.

APPLEBAUM: Trump is using tools of American power to enrich himself and his family. That's real, profound abuse of American power. For example, when Witkoff and Kushner were negotiating with Russians over war in Ukraine, they weren't negotiating on behalf of America.

I’ve watched most of the FIFA WC matches and been thrilled by it all. Until Sunday I took pleasure in the USMNT success. When 47 did the unthinkable, I could not even cheer for them. He tainted any win. 47 would demand that he be recognized as a member of the team and be given the trophy. Despicable
