“I won *all* the swing states!” —Lyin’ Ceatin’ Donald

Republicans need to find 60 votes. Go around the clock, and the minority just needs to have one or two people on the floor to deny, unanimous consent and note the absence of a quorum. They can’t force people to talk, and still need 60 to get cloture. Otherwise, they need to blow up the rules.

I try to avoid petty insults. But anyone who equates a new federal statute duly enacted through bicameralism and present pursuant to Article I, Section 7 (Obamacare) with an executive order that unilaterally implements a president’s whims with no congressional input (IEEPA tariffs) is an idiot.

. It was a historically Republican-held district (no Democrat had represented it since the early 1990s, and it went for Trump by 17 points in 2024). He was sworn in on February 19, 2026.

Wow that franchise took a dark turn

Man Who Hasn't Voted In 20 Years Confidently Explains There's No Difference Between The Two Parties

“I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH. AS GOVERNOR OF THE FREE WORLD, I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, AM OFFICIALLY BANNING ‘KID ROCK’ FROM CALIFORNIA.”

From climbing on roofs, to falling out of trees, to flying airplanes off of ships and rockets into space, I’m kind of shocked both of us made it this far. Happy Birthday, Scott.

So Georgia sent a letter of reprimand? That’s it? newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

Americans are told low taxes equals freedom. But freedom that disappears when you get sick, lose your job or age is conditional. The real question is not what you pay. It's what you get in return.

Ok. Who made this? 😅🤣

When we get through this, every single one of these laws needs to go.

New polling says Jasmine Crockett has the best chances to beat Ken Paxton in Texas. The “she can’t win” crowd might want to start updating their talking points because the voters know what’s up.

Burning down CBS is a small price for the Ellison's to pay for global domination. They gave Bari Weiss the matches and said get busy. @sulliview.bsky.social with a good wrap up on the CBS debacle. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Every step of the way for this study was completely out of pocket. Until I read this article, I had no idea that in addition to RFK Jr., Bill Ackman had also provided funding for this unethical research. It did not undergo scientific or ethics review by any credible body.

The most chilling, because plausible, paragraph in today's papers. (From WSJ www.wsj.com/politics/nat... ) Saving face and soothing his always-wounded ego, by launching a war—with zero Congressional approval or public explanation or support.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

Trump's tariffs were once illegal and a terrible idea from an economic perspective. Assuming he pursues new ones legally, they will just remain really bad economics...and the confusion he has wrought will destabilize the world trading system & hurt US credibility for many years to come.

A lot of "this-is-the-moment-when-Donald Trump-became-president" energy here

1,063 days left…

The chaos isn’t a bug of Trumpism, it’s the business model. The more people believe nothing is true, about elections, law, history, the easier it is for Trump to claim only he is trustworthy and rule indefinitely.

Newsom: His imperial presidency is about to come to an end. This is the last gasp of a desperate man. That was advanced today rhetorically — and then substantively — with his effort to impose a global 10% tax, another regressive tax on working people and small businesses across this country

They're quite literally pillaging the government.

“She has a message for other tourists considering a trip to America: “‘Don’t go – not with Trump in charge. It’s totally out of control over there. There’s no accountability. They don’t seem to need a reason for detaining you.’”

just occurred to me what Prince Andrew is staring at

Sounds rough! I avoid this ever happening to me with One Weird Trick

🚨BREAKING: During a rambling rehash of false assertions of voter fraud, President Donald Trump claimed that Republicans will never lose an election “for 50 years” if his allies in Congress pass the SAVE America Act. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"Nobody wants to work anymore!" says the class of people who live off dividends.

“The Board of Peace should be spelled B-O-R-E-D”

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

When we topple the Trump regime we should claw back every dime his family pilfers from the U.S. Treasury. Include all the fines & restitution he allowed fraudsters to get out of paying via corrupt pardons. Costing Americans billions. Stop MAGA now.

Is the rest of the Epstein files in there?

Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

Collins has voted with Trump 96% of the time — the same rate as Mitch McConnell and two points above conservative Rand Paul. This is hardly the profile of someone looking to chart her own path. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

There’s a reason that the Bay Area is the most vibrant, innovative and entrepreneurial region in the world. We need to invest in its infrastructure and regional vitality.

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?
