The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

If a pundit was going to defend the Trump ballroom -- and compare it to the Obama library -- of course it would be Ross Douthat. Only Douthat and his newspaper are that silly.

"Yes, yes, it *is* sad that you lost the family farm, but have you heard about the big beautiful ballroom that President Trump is building at the White House? It's going cost a quarter of a billion dollars! Yes, billion, with a b. ... What? ... No, you can't come see it. What a stupid question."

Illegal immigration goes up during Dem administrations for the simple reason that immigrants know Dems are much more likely to treat them humanely if they get caught.

Remember when they said Clinton’s election was illegitimate? For them, only Repubs had right to govern.

The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

I would submit that the Portland Frogs and such are an effective way to stand against Trump. They make fun of him. They make fun of ICE, they disprove Trump lies about the violence in Portland. They are far more effective as recruiters for their cause than violent protestors.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

It's official:

-2025 is now a more threatening year for the survival of the republic than 1968.

-John Roberts will now go down in history as a worse chief justice than Roger "Dred Scott" Taney.
