The NYT story about Trumps noticeable cognitive and physical decline manifesting itself in outbursts against groups he hates was actually co-written with a man. Trump doesn’t mention the male reporter, proving the point of the story.

cruel, sick, racist administration
This is insane: The Trump administration is arresting the wives and husbands of US citizens when they show up for their green card interviews, even though they entered legally and have no criminal record. So much for family values.

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

Last night, the FBI's Counterterrorism Division appeared to open an inquiry into me in response to a video President Trump did not like. The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place. He believes in weaponizing the federal

What DO Republicans have an appetite for? A $300 million ballroom for Trump. $40 billion for Argentina. Tax cuts for billionaires. The list goes on — anything but lowering costs for working families.
SCOOP: Speaker Mike Johnson recently cautioned the White House that most House Republicans don’t have an appetite for extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies. The message from Johnson, in a phone call with administration officials, came as President Trump’s advisers

Senator Kelly valiantly served our country as an aviator in the U.S. Navy before later completing four space shuttle missions as a NASA astronaut. To accuse him and other lawmakers of treason and sedition for rightfully pointing out that servicemembers can refuse illegal orders

Turns out, the Biden economy was pretty damn good.
In 2025, payroll growth has slowed to less than half the pace of 2024. Hiring particularly fell off a cliff after ‘liberation day’. My @Morning_Joe Chart

Only people who issue unlawful orders are this worried about videos that tell troops not to follow unlawful orders.

President Trump is using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass members of Congress. Yesterday, the FBI contacted the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms requesting interviews. No amount of intimidation or harassment will ever stop us from doing our jobs and honoring our

Every person who wears the uniform swears an oath to the Constitution. Not to the President. @SenMarkKelly wore the uniform and so did I. We know the difference between lawful service and political misuse of our troops. The Pentagon “reviewing” Mark for reminding every service

Just a reminder that the President's own military lawyers have said his strikes are illegal. If they are illegal, people carrying them out are following illegal orders. This is the very noncontroversial point of the video.
NEW: 13 Dem members of the Senate Armed Services Committee are requesting AG Bondi and Sec Hegseth declassify and release the DOJ OLC opinion—which the committee reviewed last week—on the Trump admin’s 21 "unauthorized" Caribbean boat strikes that have killed 83 people.

To anyone who thinks it’s an “exaggeration” that the rule of law is in danger… U.S. Senator Mark Kelly is being investigated for the “crime” of telling people not to commit crimes. We’ve fallen far.

(1/4) The Trump administration is ordering the State Department to label countries with abortion access, LGBTQ+ protections, DEI policies, and even hate-speech safeguards as human rights violators. https://t.co/yveegktUms

DOGE was a colossal failure. By destroying instruments of American soft power such as USAID, Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and Radio Free Asia, DOGE only helped our autocratic adversaries without advancing a single American national interest.

This is sickening. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth leaked classified information to a reporter on a signal chat (that he should not have been using in the first place) and he goes after a senator for using free speech to say something that is true.
BREAKING: The Pentagon says it's investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for possible military law violations after he joined a video urging U.S. troops to refuse "illegal orders."

I’m ready to come back on active duty to defend @CaptMarkKelly as an Army JAG. I’ve got a pretty good win record…. See you in court.
When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space

Integrity has defined my brother’s service to our nation, as a combat veteran, astronaut, and US Senator. Any effort to undermine that is an abuse of power.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

This is how they treat a retired officer and Senator who spoke up. Imagine how impossible it is for junior officers to question anything that’s happening.
Hegseth's DoD says it has launched "a thorough review" of allegations against Sen. Mark Kelly which could lead to "recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures." This follows Trump being furious with Kelly and other lawmakers for a video they
