Thanks to John Roberts, Trump gets to pay himself hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars because, according to Roberts, the president controls all executive branch personnel and all of their decisions—and there’s probably nothing anyone can do about it.

If you’re driving around in unmarked cars, wearing masks, and kidnapping people, you’re not one of the good guys.

And hung out with those fine Young Republicans.

Factcheck: True.

He lost the 2020 election. He knew it. He lied about it. And now he’s demanding your money because knowingly lying didn’t make him President.

How conveniently they forget.

Republican senators have lost all autonomy and are no more than Trump’s puppets. Don’t mistake them for democratic leaders. Listen to Stuart Stevens on MSNBC

This is extrajudicial murder. It is illegal and unethical. And it is a pathetic use of American military force, demonstrating not strength but weakness.

The orange faux monarch wants to give $40 billion to his weird hair buddy in Argentina. He’s desecrating The People’s House to build a gaudy monument to himself. He wants the taxpayers to pay him $230 million for his crimes. Marie Antoinette would blush at his arrogance and hubris.

The Klamath River runs through the heart of Yurok life. For decades, the community fought to free it — and in 2024, they won. I spoke with Yurok Tribal attorney Amy Bowers Cordalis about what it means to restore a river, a people, and a way of life in my latest conversation for @thenation.com.

The GOP-led Congress has been out of session for too long. The House is not shut down. They’re getting paid and should be working.

Social Security is NOT a handout. It is a benefit earned with every paycheck, and it must be protected and expanded, not cut, privatized, or means-tested.

But of course.

Meanwhile, government workers aren't getting paid.

Nothing says “America First” like selling out U.S. beef and soybean farmers to buy Argentine beef instead. #ArgentinaFirst

trump began the demolition of democracy on January 21, 2025. He has now begun demolition of The People’s House to feed his ego and that bottomless hole in his existence.

Fifteen presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act. Trump claims one president used it 28 times in the course of a single presidency. The Insurrection Act has been used a total of 30 times over the course of its 217-year history.

Frontier AI models poses two major challenges. They need giant data centers that suck up massive amounts of electricity and water, and there's a risk that the technology will fail, with unforeseeable but potentially calamitous consequences.

In the middle of all Trump’s distractions, pay attention to the fundamental issue: While the richest people are getting richer, tens of millions of people are struggling to pay for rent & groceries. Now 15 million Americans are going to be thrown off health care. Unacceptable.

Republicans in Congress have capitulated to trump. The Supreme Court republicans have capitulated to trump. We the People have NOT capitulated. We the People will stand up tomorrow to declare “No Kings”. We the People stood up in 1776 and we will again.

Never forget the approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans interred in concentration camps during WWII. Never forget the tens of thousands of Mexican Americans deported by the Eisenhower administration in the 1950’s. The trump regime’s current brutal ICE and CBP thuggery is not new. Resist this.

The rubber stamp republicans will not return to work next week, October 20-24, 2025. The government shutdown cannot end until republicans come back to work. While republican elected representatives will receive paychecks for not working, federal employees will not receive paychecks.

California leads the way!

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

On top of detaining U.S. citizens, ICE is now fining legal residents for not carrying their papers. It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

“If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States,” Kavanaugh wrote, “they promptly let the individual go.” Meanwhile, the reality of #KavanaughStop

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid," JD Vance. We checked. By scanning public records and media reports, Mother Jones determined the ages of eight of the 11 participants in the abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday: They appear to range from 24 to 35.

Nancy Pelosi is sick of their bullshit.

Everyone who pooh-poohed the clear messages contained in Project 2025, we are now experiencing the worst intentions of that malicious project.

Spot on… 🎯🎯🎯

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now. In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

The leak of the racist and misogynistic texts by young republicans illustrates the bankruptcy of future republican leadership. The responses and lack of responses by current republican leadership illustrates the bankruptcy of the republican party.

The six partisan supreme court justices claim to be originalists and strict constitutionalists yet they twist themselves into pretzels attempting to justify their clearly politically biased decisions.

The infamy of the Roberts Court will go down in history along side the infamy of the Supreme Courts that issued the Dred Scott and Plessy v Ferguson decisions.

As a Supreme Court gets ready to strip the rest of the protections in the Voting Rights Act… California needs to set the tone for the resistance. YES on prop 50. youtube.com/shorts/PwCAq...

The whole linear progress of time thing remains a challenge for MAGA.

The six sycophants masquerading as Supreme Court justices, clearly believe in the unitary executive theory. Their decision on presidential immunity illustrates their willingness to fabricate new executive powers not written into the Constitution.

Goodnight 🌙 Fuck Columbus

Here is a the enemies of US Democracy game plan, laid out by Senator Murphy clear and concisely. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-MTt...

The Wall Street Journal reported today that interest on the national debt hit $1 trillion. Why aren’t republicans screaming about the debt like they were for the four years of Joe Biden’s Presidency?

J Edgar Hoover and Richard Nixon destroyed the reputation of the FBI and the DOJ. It took 50 years for those critical government organizations to regain some semblance of trust and respectability. Bondi, Patel and trump have erased the reputation and trust of the FBI and DOJ in 8 short months.

Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, should either call the House into session or forego his salary. Does any other worker in America receive a pay check when they refuse to come to work?

Miller is lying in order to get you (and “low-info voters”) to give up. Without surrender, Miller and the rest of the regime got nothing. They believe you will believe their lies and conquer yourself. But they can’t conquer you if you don’t believe them.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, is an angry, bitter aggrieved man who now has his hands on the levers of power. He is the prototype of the angry bitter aggrieved young men who take assault rifles into elementary schools, synagogues and churches to commit mass murder.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.
