I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed. Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million. In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million. A massive percentage came from foreigners. It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics. But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

A picture is worth 1,000 words.

The story of the first 9 months of Trump's second term is a basic inhumanity. Treating immigrants as animals. Robbing people of basic health care to help billionaires. Taking away people's freedom to speak.

I don’t want to hear a single word about Democrats and socialism ever again. EVER.

Blacking out an Atlanta Falcons preseason game in Alabama is not the best way to generate fan interest. #NFL

In a way, the Rose Garden is the perfect metaphor for Trump’s presidency: take something living, intricate, and beloved, strip it down to bare stone, and call it an upgrade. The message is clear: history can be paved over.

By my count that is now his 30th consecutive club championship.

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated? We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.

Can Axios and CNN say that Trump is in steep cognitive decline now, or so we have to wait for the book in 2029?

Holy shit this is real Soviet/N. Korean style stuff. After the dismal jobs report Trump is going to fire people who compile the data and replace them with hacks. The markets and American people will never be able to trust these numbers again.

Only an asshole would be a friend of Jeffrey Epstein and an enemy of Canada.

Hammer on nail... this man is going viral.

Let’s get it filed and get it going! 🍿

How does this clown Hegseth continue to keep his job? Does he have a copy of the Epstein files? www.cnn.com/2025/07/08/p...

Would be a good thing to start sending photographs of every murdered Ukrainian to the offices and homes of Republicans in DC. They are helping Russia murder innocents and you’d think they would like to have some keepsakes of their work. Their own baseball card collections to remember their work.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you. The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit. They just lie.

Trump is slowly, quietly, lifting sanctions on Russia. And halting previously allocated munitions too. Without an announcement, US policy is beginning to favor not a ceasefire, but Russian success www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/u...

Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine for his puppet-master in Moscow is fully underway. Thousands more innocent civilians including children will die because of Trump. Netanyahu gets a blank check in Gaza, Putin gets to bomb with impunity in Ukraine.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

“The soft power suicide of the U.S. will be incomprehensible to future historians who will be dumbfounded in their attempts to explain why the global leader voluntarily wrecked one of its greatest national assets...” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/b...

I feel like I saw Season 1 of this show and it sucked.

Ben Shapiro getting all upset at the parade coverage as though he isn't used to taking part in activities where no one comes

Sen. Schiff: "Alex Padilla, on the ground, face to the ground, and in handcuffs — if you were looking for an image of our democracy in handcuffs, look no further."

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

It’s too early to declare a constitutional crisis, and debating the label we attach to any new event can distract us from focusing on the event itself. But each day brings us fresh evidence of a deeply troubling trend: America is no longer a stable country, and it is growing less stable by the day.

Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and Trump didn't call in the National Guard.

Does spectacular wealth excuse depravity? Some thoughts on Elon Musk and moral character.

The story is not about Taylor Swift or Bruce Springsteen. The story is about Trump’s mental health.

Man, I am struggling daily to understand why so many people in our country voted/non-voted to turn our once-great country into a dumb corrupt shitshow.

The most pathetic thing is that MAGA would also be cool if Putin gave him the plane. That’s how broken we are as a country. #resist

Okay. I’ve decided I’m cool if Trump wants to fly around in Grift Force 1 as long as we do not have to pay to convert HIS plane to AF1 security and defense specs. We good?

Trump has now elected liberals in Canada, Australia, and the Vatican

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

The first hundred days of this second term have shown that there is a strategy worth pursuing, one familiar to underdogs the world over: Push the aggressor beyond their limits. New from @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social:

Elite NFL players are never more likable than the night they are drafted. Love the joy.

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

The Dow Jones is on pace for its worst April since 1932. Are we feeling great yet?

Chris Krebs is America’s next profile in courage. The entire nation should support this honorable and courageous fellow citizen.

The failure isn’t the insane President. The failure is all the supposedly sane people pretending he’s not.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

The Lithuanian president showed up to honor dead American soldiers as their remains departed his country. The American president did not show up to receive their remains as they arrived in the US. He had a golf tournament to get to.

Can’t wait for the gaslighting from these MAGA assholes tomorrow when we all lose a shit load of money. They will get theirs.

The kind of person that kills dogs.

As Martin Luther King said, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

Paul Weiss is the Marco Rubio of law firms.
