There would be an immediate cease fire if Russia immediately ceases firing.

Sean Duffy: "Pete Buttigieg was running for president as opposed to doing his job and making sure that we got our air traffic control system modernized."

(Pete Buttigieg ran for president in 2020. He became transportation secretary in 2021.)

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not.

He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

Trump on Putin: "He's a smart guy, been doing it for a long time, but so have I. I've been doing it for a long time. And here we are. We're president."

Missouri Board of Education votes to close 12 schools for disabled students. One is in Lee's Summit Missouri is the only state that still operates separate day schools for special education. But the Missouri Schools for the Severely Disabled are struggling with declining enrollment, with 36% fewer students over the past 16 years.

Border Patrol agents assembled outside a Los Angeles museum where Gov. Gavin Newsom was holding a rally and news conference on congressional redistricting. Local elected officials expressed outrage that the agents decided to stand there in a brazen show of force. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/u...

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom: This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next."

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.

“Millions of Americans will lose their health coverage, local hospital systems will face unprecedented financial strain, state operational costs will spike."

When @jasmineforus.bsky.social is in town, we clean up real nice.

Always good to spend time with friends who are family. 💙

Not sure if democracy remains on the docket? My law firm is litigating 53 voting and election cases in 22 states. ⚖️🗳️

When we fight, we win.💪

Democrats seem at a loss for a punchy message that easily conveys how horrible Trump has been.

How about "So far, Donald Trump has killed 300,000 people, mostly children, just so billionaires can pay less taxes"?

"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst

That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Jake Tapper's TV show ratings are tanking and his book isn't selling, proving that peddling irrelevant BS during a time of an actual national crisis isn't a winning formula.

*Millions* of your fellow white supremacist Trump supporters voted to deport moms. And they didn't keep their gleeful embrace of that cruelty hidden, Vanessa.

Interesting that the administration that claims to dislike it when refugees seek residency *illegally* is arresting refugees in *courts* when the seek immigration legally.

MAGAs are just xenophobic white supremacist bigots.

It takes a potent brand of stupid to do your “I’m sorry I glibly told a constituent that they are going to die” video in a cemetery. And then mock that person before gratuitously proselytizing to the audience. Joni Ernst is a kook.

Guess Vanessa Cowart was without a TV or internet during the entire "Children in Cages" era of the first Trump administration.

MAGA is always willfully ignorant of anything inconvenient.

Donald Trump is such a lazy, simple-minded child, they are going to try to trick him into doing his job by making intelligence briefings, which he routinely ignores/avoids, look like they are on Fox News. Because the one thing Donald likes to do, almost as much as eating McDonald's, is to watch TV.

Dear Jake Tapper,

NOW DO TRUMP.

So Joni Ernst is gonna kill everyone that Elon didn’t.

I hope Jake Tapper spends another week bitching about Biden.

Jake Tapper: Does Biden have a drug problem?
