While overseeing a case involving President Trump's plans to renovate D.C.'s East Potomac Golf Course, Judge Reyes said she trusted DOJ lawyers to give the court and preservationists notice before major changes. Instead, the administration gave about 14 hours' notice before cutting down 429 trees.

‘I trusted you all:’ Judges question Trump administration’s credibility

The judiciary has traditionally deferred to the U.S. government, taking lawyers at face value. The White House is testing that practice.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

A video shared by Ukraine shows what it says is the world's first evacuation of an injured soldier from the frontlines by drone. The soldier is currently undergoing treatment, the military says.

KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS! Early voting numbers are great, but a surge in turnout does not automatically mean Democrats are winning. Remember 2022? More than 40 million Americans voted early too, and Republicans still flipped the House. Get everybody to the polls!

Ron Johnson blames US for Putin invading Ukraine: "The way we treated Russia after we won the Cold War, how we pushed them. I'm not defending Putin, but we said we were not gonna move NATO one inch to the east. We brought it right to their doorstep basically. What did we think Putin was gonna do?"

So executing a valid search warrant to recover stolen classified documents at Mar-a-Lago is an “illegal, partisan witch hunt” Yet when a racist president who tried to incite a race war against Somalis and called Ilhan Omar “garbage” has DOJ raid her home for this sham, it’s supposedly acceptable

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

Are you kidding me ‼️ Just now at the White House, Trump was asked about the Cornell rape case. He didn’t address the allegations. He attacked Letitia James, calling her “corrupt” and claiming anyone she investigates “won’t get a fair shake.” Trump’s sympathy clearly isn’t with the survivor.

His vocabulary is so limited it’s like reading a transcript of Koko, the gorilla who knew sign language, if Koko were a white nationalist

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Trump campaigns for Ken Paxton in Texas: "He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, I'll be honest. Is he here, by the way? Oh, there he is. I didn't even know if he was here! I don't care."

Trump says he has secured a vast U.S. stake in Venezuelan oil industry

The plan involves the United States taking more direct control over Venezuelan reserves as crime and steep logistical challenges discourage private investors.

The entirely predicable result of having an anti-vaccine kook in charge of public health in America but Bill Cassidy couldn't work up the nerve to vote against his confirmation.

On March 9, President Donald Trump said the war in Iran was “very complete, pretty much.” That was Day 10 of the conflict. Now it’s nearly Day 180. There has been a long trail of promises that a deal with Iran was close, mixed with threats if it wasn’t. Watch the timeline in Trump’s own words.

It’s no coincidence that Donald Trump ran up enormous debts to banks (well over a billion dollars) in his business too. He defaulted on two multimillion dollar loans. And defaulted on massive debt obligations in *six* corporate bankruptcies. Pity the U.S. doesn’t have a rich daddy to bail us out.
