I don't know about you, but what I get from Trump's social media posts is that he could easily be replaced by AI slop and literally no one, including his wife and kids, would notice the difference.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP.

To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesnโ€™t realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAPโ€”14.6% of the stateโ€™s population.

Paramount Global, CBS, and 60 Minutes literally sold their credibility and their integrity for CEO bonuses and shareholder value. Trump rubbed their noses in their own shit last night and they sat there and took it, because the Press has been a collaborator with Trump from the beginning.

Kamala Harris should sue 60 Minutes for editing the Trump "interview."

Well, hell. Looks like I'm going to need to drink more coffee. Dick Cheney died and I'm going to need a full bladder for the funeral.

A democratic sweep was the perfect way to honor Dick Cheney's death. Well done, everyone. See you tomorrow.

They LITERALLY campaigned on making children go hungry as a political statement and they can't figure out why they lost.

At a roundtable this week, I heard a story about a 70-year-old neighbor who tragically said, โ€œSince thereโ€™s no food right now, nowโ€™s a good time to die.โ€

This is the cruelty of Trump withholding available SNAP funding to make people starve.

We have the funding. We need to fully release it now.

I guess the plan to have Mike Johnson lie in shutdown press conferences every day for 3 weeks didnโ€™t work out.

Sir trumpy knows that we dislike him. He just wants to be king and make us all submit to him. He tries to distract using various methods. If he cannot win then he makes someone else take the fall. He knows that he cannot be a President for all the people because he is only a con man
