The goal is now to get the Strait of Hormuz open, which it was before Trump unilaterally attacked Iran. Hello? So what will America have gotten out of Trump’s “excursion”? Zilch. Actually, less than zilch because in many ways we are much worse off than when this all started.

Mike Johnson: "The president has declared Operation Epic Fury to have concluded, and now we're working on the next project, which is getting the Strait of Hormuz open. We don't expect that to be a warfare activity, so to speak. So we've got to allow the administration time to negotiate these things. I don't think Congress needs to get in the way of the administration."

Regardless of which president appointed them, federal judges — including multiple Trump appointees — are repeatedly ruling against Trump's cruel mass detention policy. They are defending the rule of law against a wannabe dictator's lawless crusade.

In this 1997 commencement speech, I offered a warning that America's growing economic divide would undermine the common good. If you're curious how that speech holds up 29 years later (or what I look like without a beard), watch this.

JD Vance announced the suspension of $1.3 billion in Medicaid payments to California as part of his new role as "fraud czar" for the Trump Regime. Meanwhile, Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC. Remember this.

Big Tech's biggest problems are not Bernie/AOC/or "bills." It's the attitude and views of the American public -- who tech leaders continue to suggest are stupid. Huge majorities correctly and justly believe the benefits of AI investment will accrue to the top and not to them.

Former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra will lead California's new consumer protection agency. His experience defending Americans from corporate predators make him the perfect choice for the job. Watch him expose Trump's giveaway to credit card companies.

"Billionaires will leave if you tax them," is a myth created by billionaires so you won't tax them.

Everyone’s stopped talking about it for some reason, but the defense of Minneapolis was the most seismic victory against Trumpism. That was supposed to be the blueprint for their autocracy and it was defeated and humiliated by astounding collective action from ordinary Americans.

NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push. It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio. See the database: politico.com/news/2026/05/1…

Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones is one of my personal heroes. I recently had the chance to speak to him about the racist redistricting plot being enacted in his state and others in the South. Republicans are trying to bring us back to the Jim Crow era that so many fought (and died) to end.
