We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

The credulity with which people are greeting these "deals" is absurd. These countries just say "We'll invest eleventy trillion dollars in the US!" to give Trump something he can claim as a victory. If 1/100th of it ever happens it'll be a shock. It's all fake.

It can’t be overstated: Stephen Miller is deeply, deeply disturbed.

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

Seems like yesterday, but it was long ago www.politico.com/story/2018/1...

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

tl;dr: White smoke, black pope!

THIS IS NOT NORMAL Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra captured video of a 16-year-old girl's face being held on the ground by Worcester police officers; she and her mother were detained in an apparent ICE operation #immigration

these agents and everyone up the chain of command need to be investigated and prosecuted

I wonder if Bessent understands that this is Trump setting him up as the fall guy?

Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Thursday night urged the legal profession to toughen up. "If you’re not used to fighting, and losing battles, then don’t become a lawyer," she said. Her remarks came against the backdrop of immense stress on lawyers from the Trump administration.

Donald Trump can still become pope if Mike Pence has the courage.

Prediction Trump: We have an American Pope cos I made America Great Again Pope: Nationalism is bad, Jesus didn't like capitalism, and tariffs hurt the poor Trump: The Pope is a bad Pope, what a nasty Pope, I call him Fake Pope, etc Just watch.

The new Pope is the total opposite of Donald Trump. Pope Leo is a decent, moral man, defender of social justice and fluent in English.

American-born Pope Leo XIV tweeted five times in 2025: Two criticized VP Vance, one repost called out President Trump's laughter at Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and the two others concerned Pope Francis' health.

I think it's rather fitting and beautiful that Pope Leo XIV is confirmed as a White Sox fan. A true advocate for the downtrodden.

My son just pointed out to me that His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, as a Villanova graduate, may well be the first supreme pontiff who has been to a Wawa

I know some of you may do this anyway, but I nonetheless urge you NOT to send items like these to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 601 D St. NW, Washington, DC 20530. Please do NOT do that. Thank you.

We should be grateful to the Lord to now be blessed with having an American on the world stage who embodies good and not evil.

Trump pulls Eagle Ed Martin's nomination to be the D.C. U.S. Attorney.

“We would urge all pet owners in the region to make sure all of your beloved animals are under watchful protection while the secretary is in the region,” the @govpritzker.illinois.gov note said.

If you were looking to combat transnational crime, especially drug cartels, this is the exact office you would NOT shut down. This move by Trump's DOJ undermines any argument they want to prosecute international cartels, human traffickers, and gang members such as MS-13.

The number of vehicles sold by Tesla fell 81% year-on-year in April in Sweden and 73.8% in the Netherlands, with steep falls in Denmark, France, and the UK, despite demand for EVs going up.

Thank you to everyone who wrote to me to offer support about my appearance on 60 Minutes.🙏 I will never back down or go silent. I hope that what I write might help others, especially lawyers, speak out as well. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects. It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this. The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

Wow, wow, wow Declassified National Intelligence Council, Sense of the Community Memorandum: "The Maduro regime probably does not have a policy of cooperating with TDA and is not directing TDA movement to and operations in the United States." Now consider: DOJ lawyers saying opposite to courts!

The Trump Administration lies about the law, and it lies about the facts. The administration lies about EVERYTHING.

“Stop the Steal” supporter, Ed Martin, was in the mob outside of the Capitol on 1/6. If he doesn’t like your point of view, he threatens to investigate you. He praises white supremacists who support neo-Nazi ideologies. Tell your Senator to vote NO on Ed Martin’s nomination for US Attorney in DC.

No wonder the Senate is hesitating. Martin has fraternized with neo-Nazis, has no experience as a prosecutor, has failed to make required disclosures to the Senate & on & on. He is not fit. Don't just take my word for it, a leading conservative org has condemned him punchbowl.news/article/sena...

Trump crypto fireworks this morning.... Rep Maxine Waters and other Dems will walk out of a GOP controlled House hearing in protest and start their own hearing "to properly investigate Trump’s crypto ties, including his memecoin, WLF, and more."

This is a stunt, of course. But Dems in House and Senate have made a strategic decision to target Trump crypto conflicts of interest. NYT reporting has played a role in that choice www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/u...

Good. The juxtaposition of Trump’s corruption and his tanking the economy for ordinary Americans needs to start NOW.
