Ah, anonymous only to those of us not in on the secret.

Democrats are furious that the Trump Administration held a briefing on Capitol Hill today about U.S. military strikes on suspected drug boats. Only Republicans were invited. This is from Sen. Mark Warner D-VA.

Tell me a scenario in which Trump accepts that his completed ballroom is being used by a Democrat or a Republican he hates. This is, literally, a monument to permanence. It’s not the action of someone planning to leave.

Does seem like there’s a non-zero chance that the shutdown never really ends and that Congress has already abolished itself.

Denver!

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

What a despicable little man who is lying through his teeth to try to incite violence against Americans who will be peacefully assembling to protest the Trump regime’s anti-democratic rule.

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

🧵 Gentleman in DC on the suspension of @jimmykimmel.com: “But you know who the real villains in this whole thing are? The 60-some percent of American voters who didn’t [vote].” LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK. 1/

Same would be true if we did it for every child.

So it’s Tillis, a senator leaving office and the most he could get himself to say was “There are two in particular,” but he lacks the guts to name them.

Never though I'd be saying, "I agree with Rand Paul," on anything, yet here we are.

In any event, if he does try this dumb stunt, an obvious and correct response would be for governors among others to ignore anything purporting to be from a "Department of War" or "Secretary of War" on the objectively true grounds that neither of those things exist.

Still laughing.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.

Great story - thanks for sharing it!

I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally

Clark can (and surely will) appeal the D.C. Bar’s determination to the D.C. Court of Appeals (not to be confused with the D.C. Circuit). But Ryan is 100% correct—this is a big deal.

Wow.

At this point, we’re just a joke. But it’s not a very funny one. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/c...

He slides out of every question. It’s an art form with him.

So the current story from the president is that Those Damn Dirty Democrats created the Epstein Files, put a bunch of incriminating stuff about him in there and then … never released it?

We are paying dearly for the absence of civics education.

Cry me a river. Maybe they’re burned out from terrorizing families & traumatizing kids. From dragging moms out of courtrooms. Or chasing day laborers through parking lots like it’s a game. If that’s what’s breaking them, maybe they should ask themselves who they’re really serving.

Newly relevant. Among other things, SCOTUS' disrespect for the lower courts' backbreaking work is stunning. Detailed rulings & fact-findings met w shadow docket proclamations like, "the administrative stay is granted," or "the govt is likely to prevail [no further detail,] so stay is granted."

Why are the New York Times editors asking this question when they know the answer is no? It’s fear of telling the truth too directly. Even when NYT stories make strong points, the headlines fuzz things up.

Trump spoke of “shylocks,” which is one of the most recognizable antisemitic terms in modern English. Watch who tries to explain this away.

Disgusting

Here’s the list of Republicans who voted to close rural hospitals:

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

NEW VIDEO: One of the most egregious abuses of power and attacks on the federal judiciary is taking place in Maryland and it is not getting the urgent attention it deserves. In a normal time this would be a national scandal. Paige and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqrO...

The tax portion of the BBB got by the parliamentarian fairly cleanly (I mean, taxes are pretty budgetary), but not completely so. Gun silencer deregulation: OUT Private school vouchers: OUT Special exemption from the endowments tax for religious colleges: OUT Pre-certification for EITC: OUT

That’s the question. My guess is they won’t, but I don’t know what the possible downsides are for them.

Could someone put this in 4-5 bullet points? Might help it get out there.

That’s going to be fun.

If true then it’s all just more show, distraction and $ wasted to shore up the ego of a schmuck from Queens.

From the gang opposed to waste in government.

Way worse. If ICE wants to have credibility, they need uniforms and badges, cause right now, why should any of us believe this wasn’t them?
