This is the most authoritarian administration in history.
On top of being the most corrupt administration in history.
No one hates America more then the Republican Party.
@GOP @HouseGOP @SenateGOP
Several @nytimes journalists were subpoenaed by the Trump administration on Friday.
– Reporters covering AF1 security concerns have been compelled to testify before a Manhattan grand jury next week
– Federal agents turned up at some reporters' homes
– NYT calls it a "brazen act"

I think there should be a lot more questions being asked about David Sacks, who spent years furiously lobbying for the US to induce Ukraine's surrender and then used his position in government to lobby on behalf of giving the CCP unfettered access to Nvidia chips.

It's been a very long time since I felt optimistic about American politics. But the victory of moderate Democrats, the rise of smart bipartisan policy, and the investigation of Trump's corruption are giving me glimmers of hope.

"Your leaders are conspiring with foreign powers to sell you out so that they can line their own pockets" sounds like populist B.S. but it's actually true now

The peace talks are failing because Putin still believes he can win the war, and because Trump, Kushner and Witkoff encourage this belief. By pressuring Ukraine, not Russia, they are prolonging the conflict, which will kill more people.

I think the GOP choice to go with Jim Jordan, an ideological extremist who’s also implicated in a student sex abuse scandal, as their leader has been a little underplayed.
Another entry in the #TrumpCrimeFamily log book
This new Reuters report is stunning.
A week before the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader, JD Vance reportedly met at a private Montana ski club with John Addison, an oil trader who had given $300,000 to help elect Vance to the Senate in 2022. Vance allegedly asked how fast Venezuela's oil could be sold if America took control of it.
Both men deny the meeting.
Flight records show their planes parked together that day.
Two days after the Venezuela operation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright called Addison and offered his company, Vitol, the job of selling Venezuela's oil. There was no public bidding. Vitol and one rival have since made hundreds of millions of dollars.
Addison and his wife also gave $7 million to help elect Trump, and he now chairs a board advising Secretary Wright.
Congress has a duty to act.
We should bring Secretary Wright, Vitol, and Addison in to testify under oath. We should demand the phone records, emails, and flight logs. We should find out whether anyone got a heads-up about a military operation. And we should require open, competitive bidding before any company profits from our foreign policy.
If nothing was wrong, let’s see the records.

This is a huge sign that housing prices need to drop dramatically to increase sales. The 5-7% mortgage is here to stay; relief will only come on the price side.
I know everyone is focused on Nvidia, but the U.S. housing market is in a dramatic slump.
Home sales in October fell to the lowest since 2010
(This is sales of existing homes).
Home sales and home building are drying up as mortgage rates remain above 7% (and home prices remain 50% above 2020 levels). There's unlikely to be much relief anytime soon.
This is a big pain point for many young Americans. Spain is currently experiencing strikes and riots over housing unaffordability. It's a warning to the US.

No fan of Omar, but this political abuse/perversion of DOJ has to stop. The credibility and integrity of federal prosecutors shouldn't be prostituted.
Federal prosecutors leaned on a one-time bodyguard of Omar's for information about her and when he didn't have what they wanted, they indicted him and then dropped charges after DHS began deportation. Now he's in Kenya, separated from his fiancé.

Imagine a historian in 2035 writing a political history of the 2020s, and he points out that every election, the out-of-power party won a cost-of-living election and then used their mandate to ignore or exacerbate affordability only to be destroyed in the next election, where voters again said “to be clear, I don’t want whatever bullshit you’re up to, I just want life to feel more affordable,” and then, once again, the winning politicians prioritized everything except affordability, and this story repeated itself over and over again.
One of my strongest held political opinions right now is: Democrats should do everything they can to avoid that history being written.

Robert Kagan: “Iran does not have the capability to strike American territory, and Trump's FP should be focused on national security: I don’t see how Iran threatens those interests..." [The war] "has been conducted essentially in Israel’s interest.” foglioeuropeo.ilfoglio.it/en…

There are now more than twice the number of Blue Dogs in Congress than Justice Democrats. It brings a tear to your eye 🥲

Douthat being able to get those answers out of Trump is a testimony to why true intellectual diversity is needed in mainstream media. He was able to ask the religion question in a way that was sincere and open, while extremely cunning, only because he is a believer and conservative

The WH waged a dayslong campaign to discredit CNN reporting last year that Midnight Hammer hadn’t obliterated Iran’s nuclear program and only temporarily set it back (deadline.com/2025/06/trump-c…)
16 months later:
Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $20 million and possible relocation for information about Iran’s nuclear program, including its facilities, equipment, and associated personnel, such as those in the scientific community, or the movement of any of the above.

holy shit this is literally just a nonstop revenge election huh
Holy shit, I didn't realize Scott Colom was denied a federal judgeship because Cindy Hyde-Smith blocked his nomination by lying about his connections to George Soros hahahahaha
If she hadn't done that he'd be a district judge and instead he's going to beat her in a Senate race and become the first black Senator from Mississippi since 1870. Nobody has ever been owned this hard by poetic justice
The mills of God grind slowly/yet grind exceeding small

Trump looked at his historically low approval rating and thought, you know what, we can get this down even lower

The phones are significant because their network effects allow discontented citizens to find each other and mobilize politically — and demagogues to reach and provoke them.

Democrats have finally trounced Trumpism at the ballot box. But doing so required everyone — from AES to Annie Andrews — to articulate more moderate views on energy and climate policy. heatmap.news/daily/2026-midt…

Big congrats to Trump’s national security team @SecRubio @SecWar @marcthiessen for an Iran War policy that was so monumentally stupid that they have unraveled the entire Republican coalition. Heckuva job fellas!
