If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 98.5%.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance.

Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke.

The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.
This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate.

The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.
"Out of spite for President Donald Trump, Carney is accelerating the decoupling of a trade bloc that has generated enormous prosperity for North America." Seriously, Wapo editorial - you're going with Canadian spite? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

It's nuts that Republicans in Congress DRAGGED Secretary of Defense LLoyd Austin through hearings for going to the doctor one day, but Mitch McConnell is out for four months and that's totes fine.

So, where is Mitch McConnell?

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach?

BLANCHE: Excuse me?

REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct?

BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family.

REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy

I’ll never get tired of saying that both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris warned everyone what would happen should the criminal be given full power of the US govt and they were right about everything. The biggest example of “I told you so” in history.

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

The year is 1969. Man lands on the moon. Back on Earth, the Concorde flies its first test for a commercial supersonic airline.

The year is 2026. Man circles the moon and will, a few years later, land. Back on Earth, there is a concept of a plan for commercial supersonic flights.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "We're on the cusp of bringing back land-based supersonic flight. So supersonic flight from LA to New York in two and a half hours. Wild."

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.
BREAKING: IRS confirms it's negotiating with Trump family to pay a "settlement" in the wildly defective lawsuit over the leak of his tax returns.

Analysis | Instead of squabbling with the Catholic Church, President Trump must focus on what they have in common, such as a legacy of protecting pedophiles.

I don't know, guys. The president started a war with no plan and crashed the world economy, is building immense monuments to himself, is making billions off the presidency, and is now attacking the Pope while presenting himself as Jesus. Maybe the political class should abandon the inside voice.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

If I was a member of the cabinet or Congress. I would be asking myself what I would say to my grandchildren when they asked, “what did you do when the president of the United States threatened to destroy a whole civilization?”

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.
