It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

Whether it's young Democrats expressing their support for DEI or young Republicans saying "I love Hitler,' both sides have expressed controversial opinions.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

In the continuing sinner-to-saint transformation of Charlie Kirk -- a man who embodied bigotry, hatred, and misogyny -- Kirk is being awarded the Medal of Freedom.

It's everything that is wrong about Trump and his cult.

Trump on LA: "They already lost 25k houses to fire because they wouldn't let the water come in from the Pacific Northwest. They didn't do it and we had 25k homes where they had no water in the sprinklers, they had no water in the fire hydrants. We broke in and had the water come down."

Donald Trump on Friday "So we have at this moment, I think we just cracked $18 trillion in commitments and investments in our country."

Donald Trump today: "So, so in uh eight months, we have over 17 trillion. We're actually very close to $18 trillion."

It's almost like the number is made up.

This is precisely the reason why Democrats should NOT cave on the shutdown. If the Republicans in Congress are going to continue ceding the power of the purse to POTUS, it is tyranny.

Republicans broke this

Democrats should only talk when the GOP comes forward with a plan to fix it.

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

Sickening. Revolting. Vile. This makes you want to throw up.

This is the kind of garbage that the worst kind of people say when they think nobody is watching.

And where are Republican leaders from Trump on down condemning these comments swiftly and unequivocally!?

I’m waiting to hear it.

A headline from POLITICO reads: "‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat"

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

I’m speaking metaphorically when I say nobody cried. There was no real collective grief like there was on 9/11. I have a soft spot for all of the doctors and nurses and all of the horrible treatment and trauma they endured while dealing with one of the biggest tragedies in our history. 😢💔

Trump WH says its prepared to “ride out” the shut down. That translates to: This was planned. It was never meant to be short…and…oh yeah…we are going to f**k things up even worse during this period of time.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.
