Tweet from MeidasTouch: “Wow that’s crazy. Who’s running the federal government?”
Below, Acyn’s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.”
A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

You are anti-fascist, or you are pro-fascist. There is no neutral.

Soooo Trump got “the jab.” Do you think perhaps they’ve been lying to you or you still good?

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

“Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar”

Never forget or forgive that Trump, Rubio, & Musk *chose* to inflict this monumental level of death and suffering on the poorest & most vulnerable people.

Good question from CNN. Maybe Jake Tapper could look into the memory issues more here.

What no one is saying is that that grotesque display was not just directed at the generals, but to a generation of young MAGAs and their parents watching at home. They want people who love this message to enlist and join the forces, and they want to discourage the others.

It’s insane to think that the #GeneralSquidGames could be anything from war plans to loyalty pledges to a mass shirtless pushup session and none of it would surprise me.

Sarkozy gets 5 years in prison in Gadhafi case The former French president was accused of accepting illicit campaign donations from the Libyan dictator.

Imagine, a country where former presidents can be prosecuted and held to the same legal standards as citizens.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired

Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

Building a giant gold ballroom while half the country is living paycheck to paycheck is some pre-revolution-France level sh*t.

When I went to the African American History Museum in the Smithsonian it finished its timeline with the joyous election of Barack Obama. Maybe that’s why he hates it.
