The Democrats willing to capitulate to Republicans need to go. Durbin should resign immediately so Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker can replace him with a Democrat with a spine. As for the rest, they need to be primaried.

Look at the photograph. That is not empathy. That is annoyance. That is indifference deep enough to drown in.

There is a void inside his chest where a soul should be. And he fills it with suffering.

This is who Donald Trump is.

He doesn’t give a f*ck about anyone but himself.

If the Supreme Court has the backbone to strike down these tariffs, it won’t just be a legal victory—it’ll be a constitutional exorcism. If the Court sides with Trump, they won’t just be blessing tariffs; they’ll be blessing tyranny.
The Supreme Court vs. The Tariff King
Trump’s trade war isn’t a patriotic crusade; it’s a pocket-picking, economy-wrecking tax scheme that punishes American families while pretending to protect them. And the Supreme Court knows it.

The normal playbook — negotiation, dialogue, compromise — would involve leadership. But Trump doesn’t negotiate with equals. He dictates. And when dictation fails, he detonates.
Democracy Dies Under His Gaze
The shutdown should end with dialogue. Instead, Trump reaches for destruction. The filibuster is only the latest victim of his obsession with total control.

I love this country enough to march for it. I love this country enough to fight for the idea of what it could still be.

It was exciting to watch the Molokai Hoe race on Sunday, one of the world’s greatest ocean endurance races, a race in which my father and his brothers won in 1954, 71 years ago, as part of the winning Hui Nalu O Hawai'i Canoe Club crew.

We know from 2020 that when Trump is losing politically, he turns to crime, even to insurrection. And then he turns everything around, accusing Democrats of the crimes that he himself is committing. That is what he is doing with Chicago and Portland.

To wield Christ’s name as justification for cruelty is nothing less than taking His name in vain. The cross, which bears witness to mercy, justice, and sacrifice, becomes a prop for oppression when Christians assent to or endorse such state violence.

Following Project 2025, Trump is inventing a war that does not exist in order to carry out repression using federalized state National Guard soldiers. It’s bullshit, all of it. Trump wants a war he can win, & he doesn’t care if it’s against Venezuela or Portland or Chicago or Memphis or New Orleans.
“This is a nation of constitutional law, not martial law.”
That is a quote from the temporary restraining order issued by District Judge Karin Immergut blocking President Donald Trump from federalizing and deploying National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.

For years, the MAGA movement has cloaked itself in a sense of righteous morality. The Epstein files were a test—and MAGA failed it. Instead of defending the vulnerable, they defended Trump. Instead of demanding truth, they embraced lies.

The mask is off. And we can never unsee what lies beneath.

The gov't has been “shut down” for over 8 months since Trump took office a 2nd time. They've shut down parts of the gov't they don’t like (USAID), fired, laid off, or furloughed, hundreds of thousands of federal employees, impounded appropriations from Congress for activities/states they oppose.
This shutdown is different

Trump needs AI to help him depict Democrats in a bad light. In contrast, all we need is to look at the very real footage and images of Trump to define him for who he really is.
We don’t need AI generated images to show Trump for the vile, traitor that he is!
We have real footage that does that.

For years, the right has refused to reckon with the consequences of its own policies on guns, violence, and mental health...Concern for violence only stretches as far as the color of the shooter’s skin, their religion, or now, their gender identity.

For 10 years, far-right extremists have been the killers, and Republicans have been their enablers. Not protectors of life or defenders of democracy. But apologists, propagandists, and profiteers of hate. It is hypocrisy weaponized. It is complicity sanctified.

The left is turning the American tradition into a deracinated ideological creed. It belongs to us. It’s our birthright, our heritage, our destiny, a heritage entrusted to us by our ancestors. It's a way of life that is ours, and only ours, and if we disappear, then America will cease to exist. WTF
What’s murdering a couple million natives and relying upon the labor of black and Chinese people to build the infrastructure and produce the agrarian wealth of half the country matter? It’s still a white European “Christian” homeland after all.
