In history class, I never understood how “advanced” civilizations could collapse. It just didn’t seem plausible. Anyway, I’ve seen enough. I get it now.

In a short span of time, both King Charles and President Xi showed the world what a laughingstock Donald Trump is. Republicans are either gluttons for punishment or too dense to notice. Probably both.

Trump's performance in China has been a unique, extraordinary and embarrassing combination of weakness, obsequiousness, lack of preparation, amateurism, and incompetence. It just seems normal because we've become desensitized by the constant circus.

Trump is poised to effectively steal $1.7 BILLION in taxpayer funds to pay off January 6ers and other political allies, without any oversight by Congress and despite the fact that the people who’ll be handed cash straight from our paychecks don’t have viable legal claims.

MacFarlane: There’s a lot of money being spent on reflecting pools, ballrooms, and a memorial arch. What do you make of that? AOC: I think people can’t feed themselves. They’re having a hard time affording groceries. They’re having an even harder time, in a lot of ways, affording rent and mortgages. And why should this administration—and this president, who has openly said that he doesn’t care or think about the financial situations of everyday Americans at all—then try to take a billion dollars more out of our health care and put that toward a ballroom when people are already struggling? It’s just deeply out of touch. I think it’s insulting to everyday people who are trying to get by on an honest day’s work.

FBI Director Kash Patel snorkeling around the mass grave at the Pearl Harbor memorial is just totally inappropriate and offensive. Anyone who has been there knows the deep significance of this site. apnews.com/article/fbi-ka…

@Acyn @doritmi 🤦🏻‍♀️

Trump: Dumocrats. They’re dumb. It’s d-u-m. I got rid of the b. So, you’re only changing one letter. E goes and the U comes.

They’re literally helping Russia on purpose

Trump could have kept his mouth shut and no one would notice Xi said US is a declining nation Now, everyone knows

Lieu: The Supreme Court decision was a disgrace. Chief Justice Roberts has now led the most partisan Supreme Court in U.S. history. It appears that every decision they make happens to benefit Republicans electorally. Roberts is a political actor.

You won’t hear this on Fox News: California just released a balanced budget that wipes out the deficit this year AND next — while protecting health care and safety nets. Meanwhile, Trump ADDED $2.4 TRILLION to the federal deficit with his “Big Beautiful Betrayal.” Republicans ruin budgets. Democrats balance them. Adulting matters.

Real story: Judge was about to throw out the case bc Trump controls both parties. Before it’s dismissed, Trump tells both parties to reach a “settlement.” Settlement shields Trump from any future audit and creates a secret slush fund that can dole out money to anyone with no transparency. Mind-boggling corruption. @SpeakerJohnson - you may not know it, but your job is to conduct oversight of the admin. You can’t run away from this one.

The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism. It's Jim Crow 2.0.

COLLINS: But if someone was paying $2.98 a gallon before the war, and now they're paying $4.53, saying 'that's life' might not make them feel better JIM JORDAN: Those are your words, not mine COLLINS: You said that just now. I quoted you.

Trump must have just learned that when Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap to his face, he was essentially calling the United States a nation in decline. Now, Trump is trying to spin it, claiming that Xi must have been talking about Biden. Really humiliating stuff.

1. History isn’t there to be liked or disliked. 2. History is there to be learned from. 3. History offends you? Even better. Then you’re less likely to repeat it. It’s that simple.

One major reason Republicans have worked so hard to defund PBS. It actually informs the general public about the truth regarding US history, no whitewashed myths.

The fact that he is so good at this really puts into perspective how cartoonishly evil the average politician is

When did we normalize this? When did it become okay for a president to tell a female reporter she’s a ‘dumb person’ for asking a totally legitimate question about his contradictory answers? Was there a specific date and time it become okay? Normal? Normalized?

A 10-year-old wrote MAGA Congresswoman Virginia Foxx for a school project. He chose to write about an electric vehicle tax credit. Something he thought was good for the environment. Virginia responded by attacking him and his teacher for being propagandized. Her words: “your teacher will not be able to give you a good education as they are too interested in indoctrinating you... How sad.” An 80-year-old woman. Attacking a 10-year-old. For doing his homework. These people have power over your life.

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times. While the rich and powerful remain protected by redactions, my name was exposed to the world. Now reporters from across the world contact me—I cannot live without looking over my shoulder.
