They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency.

An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)
“We're living in a country where the president just randomly raises taxes on a whim because he's in a snit - and no one stops him, even though the Constitution gives him zero power over tariffs. This is not a constitutional republic at the moment.”

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

This isn't chaos. It's a plan. The defunding of the NEA, the gutting of the NEH, and the capture of the Kennedy Center are straight from the Heritage Foundation's 'Project 2025' playbook. Read my latest TIME article to see why this cultural attack demands our attention.
Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History

it's important to remember the people doing this aren't "just following orders," they signed up to do this, they're excited to do it, it's what they want to be doing, and each one of them is personally culpable for the entirety of ICE's conduct
In video provided exclusively to MSNBC's The Weekend: Primetime, immigration agents are seen attempting to pull a man out a window of a Chicago home. Agents also jumped a fence into the locked backyard and manhandled people doing work. Hear from the homeowner tonight on The Weekend: Primetime.
More illegal conduct by the toddler in the White House for the Supreme Court to strike down.
Trump says he’s increasing tariffs on imports of Canadian goods by 10% because Ontario’s commercial that accurately used Ronald Reagan’s words about tariffs made him sad

A disgraceful action against this beautiful national treasure. Not a peep from Congress. Trump rules by decree.
The White House is only 55,000 sq ft. A ballroom that is 90,000 sq ft and is significantly larger than a football field. The ballroom at Versailles was only 8,000 sq ft. There is no way it’s "just a ballroom" - He is building himself a new palace.

No! It must be torn down and the White House restored to the way it was before America’s Hitler moved in.
What’s shocking about this is that despite all the fascism, racism, bigotry, incompetence, stupidity, corruption, mental illness, disregard and contempt for the rule of law, rejection of American values, and pure evil, 41.7% of Americans see it and approve of the job he’s doing.

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

The president himself has complained that our museums focus too much on 'how bad slavery was.'" This isn't just an off-the-cuff remark; it's the ideological core of Donald Trump’s campaign to rewrite our history. My piece in TIME explores the chilling implications.

Meanwhile, the government is shut down, and Donald Trump has recently demolished the east wing in order to make an enormous Golden ballroom.
