Since Trump’s second term began, at least 72 government officials have resigned in protest after being asked to do something they believed to be illegal or in violation of their oath of office.

Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."

I tried all day to join antifa. I was thwarted! •No website. •No email. •No Substack. •No Instagram. •No LinkedIn •No TikTok •Not even a lousy Facebook page. I wonder if Pam Bondi can help me find them.

Remember when Donald Trump promised to release the Epstein files? Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?

Eisenhower quote from 1953: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed."

Households could save up to up to $1,600 per year on tariff fees if the Supreme Court upholds a ruling deeming Trump's sweeping global tariffs unlawful, according to the Yale Budget Lab. If the country-specific tariffs hold, consumers could pay an additional $2,300 a year in tariff-related fees.

America is adrift. It has no coherent foreign policy, no team of senior professionals managing its national defense and diplomacy, and a president who has little interest in the world beyond what it can offer him.

Another member of the MAGA social media influencer network is being rewarded with a position of power: Robby Starbuck, a music video director-turned-conservative activist. He’s taken personal credit for pressuring co.s like Harley-Davidson, Lowe’s, and Walmart, to dismantle their diversity programs.

The Supreme Court passed Ghislaine Maxwell back to Fat Satan so he can give her the blackmail pardon. “Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.”

After a federal judge — one of Trump’s own appointees — issued an order halting his deployment plans in Portland, Trump didn’t back down. He found a way around it. Trump has now federalized the California National Guard specifically to deploy them into Portland, Oregon.

That's just the way it is

Public Citizen just filed a lawsuit in federal court to stop the Trump regime from violating the free speech rights of federal workers. This is our 19th lawsuit against the administration since Trump returned to power.

That was last week. Their mourning period over St. Kirk has ended and it's now Transformers and Build-a-Bear that must be defeated at all costs.

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

Hitler never did his own dirty work either.

Nearly half of big businesses raised prices in the last six months due to tariffs, and a large majority expect to do so in coming months, a new KPMG survey out today finds.

Some of us were talking about both subjects before it was cool.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

The Trump administration declared war on the “terrorist organization” of “antifa” and the supposed “networks” associated with it last week. Antifa is not so much a vast national conspiracy as it is simply an abbreviation for anti-fascism.

Decades after he bucked investors in a precedent-setting civil suit, Trump’s financial regulators just made it harder for shareholders to levy lawsuits against public companies. www.levernews.com/the-trump-ta...

Elon left party favors. Corporations accused of tax evasion have received a lucrative gift from the DOGE-ing of the Internal Revenue Service: less muscle to prosecute tax crimes. The department is now “bleeding lawyers”: 170 IRS attorneys have withdrawn from tax cases since January.
