Proving yet again one of my basic rules on navigating Trumpism: He will always replace an incompetent person with someone more incompetent.

Well would you look at that

Here we go again, America. We have to give a President another blank check and give him as much as he wants to shoot unlimited $20 million interceptors at $20,000 drones and if we don’t we are unpatriotic so pay up.

Shameful indeed. But par for the course for Republicans.

😡😡😡😡

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop? Full breakdown: youtube.com/watch?v=lTSCC_9-FpY

James Talarico tonight: "It doesn't matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we're running against: The billionaire mega-donors and their corrupt political system. Not any one politician ... We are running against the broken system and the powerful people who broke it."

During Trump’s first year, families paid more than $2,000 extra just to keep up with rising costs. As housing, transportation and healthcare costs rise, don't forget that Trump said he would end inflation. And he didn’t.

See a pattern here?

"Aside from the internment camps used to incarcerate Japanese Americans in the 1940s, such facilities have no precedent in American history..." US Conference of Catholic Bishops statement on Trump's new mass prison camps. Full statement at the link: www.usccb.org/news/2026/th...

This is beyond wrong!

For the 2026 primary elections, NPR has collected deadlines and information on how to register to vote — online, in person or by mail — in every U.S. state and territory.

“We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.” — Lincoln “These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent.” — Reagan “That’s the way it is.” — Trump

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next. What a disgrace.

Not an expert on Iranian society, but I remember what happened in Iraq after the U.S. ejected Saddam's army from Kuwait in 1991. The Bush administration encouraged minority Kurds and Shia to rise up, then refused to offer support as they were all massacred and the Ba'ath Party retained control.

WELKER: Is the United States at war with Iran? LINDSEY GRAHAM: I think the Ayatollah would say yeah

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge. They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership. We do not have serious people running our country.

"Not his job"?

Three US service members killed in action, five seriously wounded so far per CENTCOM.

Murphy: “ppl now see Trump for who he is — a would be dictator who doesn’t care what Americans think, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, & sees himself as a kind of 18th century king, with unlimited power to drag all of us into disastrous wars overseas without the consent of the ppl”

Infuriating! The American story does not include censorship. Journalist Tim Karr added: “The notion that Trump censorship czar Brendan Carr will determine what is and what isn’t “pro-America” broadcasting content is itself anti-American.” open.substack.com/pub/lincolns...

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Mister ‘peace president,’ founder of the ‘board of peace,’ has bombed 7 countries in one year. Trump is nothing more than a snake oil salesman enriching himself and his family and friends.

Prob $4 a gallon the week after next… Forbes Analyst Warns Gas Could Cross $3 After Iran Strikes Read More:

Americans live in a country where the leader can order the murder of anyone he wants, and doesn’t even need to explain why. The rule of law is gone. Republicans killed it.

WTF? 😳

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

More timeless posts...

These posts did not age well.

Iran did not pose an immediate threat to the United States. Trump has admitted this is a regime change war. He did this without congressional authorization. This is an unconstitutional action. Worse, he clearly has no plan for what comes next. It’s a Mad King war.

BREAKING: Adolescent teenage boys have taken over the Pentagon.

What kind of a leader takes credit for someone else's accomplishment? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Economic news you didn't hear from Trump in his SOTU address.

Nothing says fascism and Nazism quite like the MAGA regime placing a giant banner of the orange felon’s face outside of the DOJ building. The United States no longer has a functioning independent Justice Department, it is being used to protect a convicted criminal.

No president should be making billions off the presidency. No member of Congress should be trading stocks on inside information. Period.

In 2025 CBO estimated Medicare A trust fund would be solvent until 2052; on Mon. they revised it to 2040. Social Security trust fund to run dry a year earlier by the end of 2031. Trump's big ugly big did that. This "war on fraud" is cover, by a corrupt admin. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

This was Trump's State of the Union speech after it was fact checked. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Last night’s speech was marketed as a chance for Trump to reset. But there’s nothing to reset. If the Republicans hope to avoid slaughter, they'll have to scam even harder.

Truth!

This is the Trump White House.

Why are we only now learning that a United States citizen was shot and killed by a federal immigration agent last year in Texas? There is no possible justification for failing to publicly disclose this killing. Can Secretary Noem define “transparency?” Because this isn’t it.

Trump's self-dealing is truly off the scales — eclipsing even the biggest corruption scandal of the First Gilded Age. It's a new Golden Age for grifting. [@brennancenter.org]

Who could have predicted this?

"According to the ceasefire, Hamas is supposed to disarm, Israeli troops are supposed to pull put of Gaza, and reconstruction is supposed to begin. None of that is happening."

Watching Republican members of Congress stand and cheer at Trump's lies about election fraud and Democrats cheating in elections is one of the most abhorrent displays I have ever witnessed. Every one of them has sold their soul for access to power and their political careers. They have no shame.

The first duty of the American President is to protect the American people. Trump has failed like no other President in history. #SOTU

This is the way to do it
