Extraordinary detail in the new book on Trump's second term administration
After they wrapped up their research, the authors sat down with Trump to check their facts. He drifted on to why his "love affair" with Venezuela went back to his years of owning the Miss Universe pageant, which featured many beautiful Venezuelans. What he really wanted to relate was a conversation he had had with a historian whose verdict was that Trump was "without question, the most powerful man the planet [had] ever known - by a long way." The historian had sent Trump a two-page memo from which he read. "If President Trump is the American Eagle, then William the Conqueror was merely a sparrow." Curious about the identity of the historian, Swan tracked down a golf caddie in Florida, who confessed a passion for history.

The Trump tariffs are the highest tax increase on the American public since World War II

Yes, you read that correctly

What's worse, he did it while taking health insurance away from 20 million people

And giving $75 billion to ICE so they can hunt US citizens

Heather Cox Richardson is being silenced on Facebook. She is a historian who writes daily about what is happening in Washington. I have been following her for years. Her posts are disappearing due to anti-DEI.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
THE ASK This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity. DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP'S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how: 1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Checking in on Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing:
Kash Patel confirmation hearing: Dick Durbin asks Patel if he’s familiar with Stew Peters—a right-wing fringe conspiracy theorist. Patel: <long pause> Not off the top of my head. Durbin: You’ve made eight appearances on his podcast.

Donald Trump is stealing from taxpayers to fund tax cuts for billionaires, and House Republicans are celebrating.

My full statement:
Statement graphic that reads: “Donald Trump is stealing from taxpayers to fund tax cuts for billionaires, and House Republicans are celebrating. Trump is illegally taking money from child care, veterans, community health centers, police, firefighters, and schools — all bipartisan funding for the American people. “The consequences of the Republicans’ betrayal will be swift: higher costs for parents, cuts for first responders, no school lunches for hungry kids, families and veterans without housing, homes without heat, and businesses unable to meet payroll. “This is all part of Donald Trump’s plot to enrich himself and his billionaire cronies while leaving everyday Americans to foot the bill. First, he fired the inspectors general charged with fighting corruption. Now, he’s tossing aside the Constitution to seize money that belongs to taxpayers. “House Democrats will not allow Republicans to further rig the system against hardworking Americans. We will fight back.”

A stern and well deserved rebuke from Colombia’s leader.
Post by Steve Lookner, captioned "Message to Trump from Colombia's president," along with a Google-translated statement from Spanish. The statement expresses firm support for Panama's sovereignty and criticizes former U.S. President Trump's stance on the Panama Canal. It emphasizes that dignity is non-negotiable, warns against economic and social consequences if Panama's sovereignty is undermined, and highlights the broader implications for Central and South America. The message concludes with a call to protect independence, freedom, and democratic dignity across the Americas.

Hegseth’s number is next. He cannot lead our Defense Department.
Post: It's worth noting Hegseth's version of the story is a couple of months after his new wife had a baby, he went to a conservative political conference, got really drunk, hit on many women who found him revolting, had an argument with this woman, then had consensual sex with her.
