Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.

We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

We really do have two different kinds of law now: District Court law (aka the law), and Supreme Court "law" (aka the U.S. House of Lords upholding Trump's personalist regime)
I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.

In his second term President Donald Trump posted, “Long live the king,” and circulated an image of himself wearing a crown. For the White House, he has shattered Jefferson’s republican vision of the people’s house by transforming it into a model of the French kings’ Palace of Versailles.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

At least 30 individual or corporations who have given over $116M to Trump and his super PAC have received regulatory favors from the Trump White House.

That includes Big Tobacco companies, Pharma giants, and crypto moguls like the Winklevoss twins.

Pay-to-play corruption.

This “tough guy” rebrand is about to cost taxpayers $2 billion.

But somehow, cancer research is what they call wasteful spending. Absurd.

Ghislaine Maxwell is an unrepentant child sex predator. So why would an American President even consider commuting her sentence? This would be a national disgrace.

The whistleblower came forward with the information to Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee.

Folks - let them think this. I’ve spent 25 years doing campaigns - when you think like this after a loss like last night, you are doomed to lose again.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.

It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.
Exclusive: The U.S. government asked a judge to deport a man to Afghanistan, where he expects the Taliban to kill him. Legal experts say the case could have consequences for Afghans the U.S. rescued and promised to support.

The President just announced he is giving $20 billion of taxpayer money to bail out Argentina. That’s outrageous. If he was willing to spend that money in America - to keep American health premiums from skyrocketing, the shutdown would be over tomorrow.

A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works.
