with much of the money coming from wealthy people and corporations with issues before the administration.
The haul by MAGA Inc., detailed in a campaign finance report filed on Thursday night,
reveals how aggressive fund-raising has continued for a political operation that revolves around Mr. Trump,
giving the organization over $300 million ahead of this year’s midterms.
The d…

You see some effort on the part of Congress to assert itself in the realm of war.
But it failed predominantly on party lines
Republicans predominantly were supporting the president and whatever it happens to be that he would like to do.
Moderate Republicans and Republicans who are in less safe districts were and are more likely to at least stand up a little bit to the president,
but there’s a very small number of them.

The Department of Homeland Security
has been quietly demanding
tech companies turn over user information about critics of the Trump administration,
according to reports.
In several cases over recent months,
Homeland Security has relied on the use of administrative subpoenas
to seek identifiable information about individuals who run anonymous Instagram accounts,
which share posts about ICE immigration raids in their local neighborhoods.
These s…

Trump is very, very angry about a New York Times piece
that carefully documents his obvious physical decline.
Trump raged over the piece,
letting out a stream of lies about his performance in office
and even attacking the reporter who wrote the piece as ugly.
This may seem typical of Trump,
but we think it gets at something deeper.
Trump’s entire political mystique is premised on the fiction that he’s a strong, virile, formidable figure
who …

Now at the end of his eighth decade, Donald Trump and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics.
The reality is more complicated:
Trump, 79, is the oldest person to be elected to the presidency,
and he is aging.

Mr. Maduro has tried to protect himself from a potential precision strike or a special-forces raid
by frequently changing sleeping locations and cellphones
Those precautions have accelerated since September, when the United States started amassing warships and striking boats the Trump administration claims were smuggling drugs from Venezuela.

The New Orleans City Council Dec. 3 launched an online portal
for residents to report civil and human rights abuses by ICE and CBP paramilitary units occupying the city during the Trump regime’s anti-migrant occupation.
The launch of the portal, came as CBP forces began disappearing residents in the city, Kenner and other suburban areas of the Greater New Orleans area and parts of the River Parishes

A federal judge on Wednesday shredded the Trump administration’s shallow defense for bragging about its rampant, warrantless immigration arrests.
In an 88-page ruling, U.S. Judge Beryl Howell wrote that the Trump administration had illegally lowered the standard for making immigration arrests
when it instituted a policy of “arrest now, ask questions later” as part of the federal takeover of Washington, D.C.
Howell documented how the Department of Homeland Security and Trump …
