remarkable how much contempt this white house has for the nation’s historical and artistic treasures

One year ago Donald Trump swore an oath to support the Constitution, but he’s used the presidency to enrich himself and his family, the New York Times' editorial board writes. Check out how Trump pocketed $1.4 billion in a single year.

Dr. King believed in nonviolence, truth, justice, and the courage to build a more just democracy.
Last night in Boston, I was honored to reflect on those values at Embrace Honors MLK 2026. Today, I joined the MLK Jr. Memorial Breakfast and local community events rooted in service and faith.

Also, this story illustrates a fundamental truth: Trump's opinions are shaped by the last person he spoke to
So it was Badenoch *personally* who stabbed Britain in the back during the Greenland crisis! Simply unbelievable. Ought to be a resignation matter.

There are so many opportunities to increase trade and investment between Canada and Qatar. We’re here to seize them.

I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

The markets did everything they could to hold steady in the face of the Jerome Powell subpoenas, but I’m not sure they’ll do well with this news.
Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

the fact that Republican senators like Schmitt can’t even write a fascist screed on their own and instead have to rely on chatGPT perfectly captures the unique combination of evil and stupid that defines the modern Republican Party

Before the 2024 elections, Trump said he didn't need the votes, a somewhat odd way to say they had the election sewn up.
If we have valid mid-terms, I will be amazed.

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time.

I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.
But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
