Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

Good morning.

Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.

Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.

People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

My stance is very simple: dems should negotiate as soon as, and not before, every impounded dollar is restored, every illegally fired employee is restored, every unconstitutional act is reversed

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

First, they came for Stephen Colbert. Then they came for Jimmy Kimmel.

Pretty sure you and I are next for our social media posts. These are scary times.

ABC: What a disgrace. Taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air for this:

“We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”

BREAKING: I call on Fox News to fire Brian Kilmeade.
After Fox News host Brian Kilmeade called for executing mentally ill homeless people, two homeless encampments in Minneapolis were attacked — 13 people injured.
This seems even worse than people who the right are calling to be fired.
