Screenshot of an X post by “No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen” claiming Costco is demanding that Trump reimburse them for tariffs so they can refund customers. Below are two images side by side: the Costco Wholesale logo and a photo of Donald Trump looking at a phone while reporters hold microphones near him.

This is what all big companies should be doing.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Misquoting Orwell without realizing she's already been fired as her last act is objectively hilarious.

Hegseth right now proving that trying to clean up after a stupid briefing by giving another briefing isn't really a good idea

excellent skewering from Janet Mills: "Susan Collins just gave Donald Trump the green light to take unilateral military action that could push the United States into another endless war. ... Susan Collins is rubber-stamping Trump’s ability to send more troops into harm’s way without oversight."

JUST NOW: At news conference, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) about Kristi Noem:

"Let me just say about Kristi Noem. She is a disgraceful, despicable and deplorable human being. Why is she still around??"

Trump got away with murdering fishermen. He got away with attacking Venezuela. He’s getting away with strangling Cuba. He -and we- won’t get away with bombing Iran.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Trump Has No Plan for the Iranian People The mere act of bombing Iran will not by itself create a stable regime.

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.

They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.

This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us.

Pay attention.

The media should cover this as murder because it is.

I will not watch Netflix if they get rid of Susan Rice just to appease Trump.

History has shown that appeasement is futile.

Trump announces new 10% global tariff after raging over Supreme Court loss President Donald Trump spoke hours after the Supreme Court ruled against his global tariffs that he imposed without Congress.

The Supreme Court just said the President illegally bypassed Congress to tax your groceries, housing, medicine, and more with widespread tariffs.

Trump's response? He will find a new way to end run the Congress and tax the American consumer.

We won’t let him.

LEFT: Liam Ramos, imprisoned for being a child.

RIGHT: Donald Trump, *not* imprisoned for raping children.

Robin Williams on Trump in 2012: And he owns all these beauty pageants.
Miss America, Miss Universe. Isn't that a bit like Michael Vick owning a series of pet stores? It's a f-cking catch and release program for him.
This is a man who said, 'My daughter is hot.'

At the Munich Security Conference this weekend, I told a hard truth. There is no ceasefire in Gaza. The assault continues. Palestinians continue to die. And Trump is issuing glossy brochures about fake future Gaza real estate deals instead of working to end the war.
