Donald Trump’s interest in seeking an unconstitutional third term as president, like many of his most dangerous or illegal ideas, began as a joke. Trump would muse on the stump that he deserved an extra term because he was robbed of his first (by Robert Mueller’s investigation) or his second (by imagined vote fraud in 2020) without quite clarifying his intent. But in an interview with NBC News this weekend, and then in remarks on Air Force One, Trump said he was completely serious about at least exploring the notion.…

Sign up for Trump’s Return, a newsletter featuring coverage of the second Trump presidency. Ever since Donald Trump emerged as a credible threat to return to the White House, the guardrails that seemed to restrain him in his first term—political, legal, psychic—have collapsed with astonishing speed. His nominees are sailing through their confirmation hearings, including some who are underqualified and ideologically extreme. Titans of business and media are throwing themselves at his feet as supplicants. He has obliterated long-standing norms, unashamedly soliciting payoffs from corporations with business before the government.…

WASHINGTON – In response to President Trump’s Inauguration and anticipated executive orders, MoveOn Civic Action Executive Director Rahna Epting released the following statement:  “The American people voted for common sense and cheaper eggs, not chaos and corruption.

Trump has a detailed plan.  Project 2025 contains more than 900 pages of detailed plans for unprecedented levels of deportation, nationwide abortion bans, and major setbacks for public health.   He would install Trump loyalists throughout the government. As detailed in Project 2025, Trump plans to fire tens of thousands of government officials and replace them with his own loyalists so he can do whatever he wants and not be stopped. If Donald Trump wins in November, he’d completely reshape every level of government to expand his power without any…

Just since last November, the most closely watched measure of consumer confidence about the economy has soared by about 25 percent. That’s among the most rapid improvements recorded in years for the University of Michigan’s Index of Consumer Sentiment, even after a slight decline in the latest figures released yesterday.   And yet, even as consumer confidence has rebounded since last fall, President Joe Biden’s approval rating has remained virtually unchanged—and negative. Now, as then, a solid 55 percent majority of Americans say they disapprove of his performance as president in…

Washington, D.C. – Following reporting that No Labels is moving forward with choosing their third-party presidential candidates in secret with their millionaire donors in lieu of a nomination process, MoveOn Political Action Chief Communications Officer Joel Payne released the following statement: “Last time we checked, Presidential candidates are elected by millions of voters, not hand-picked by a cabal of political insiders. In the last two weeks, we’ve seen Donald Trump signal how unhinged he would be if given a second term. Yet that has only emboldened No Labels to accelerate…
