Donald Trump will be reviled deeply in the history books as a buffoon and a con artist.

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas.

But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community.

It was standing room only.

@lizcheney.bsky.social Condolences for the loss of your father. I had my disagreements with many of his ideas but in the end he proved a true patriot. As you have as well, thus respectfully I write this note πŸ™πŸ½

The extra delicious thing about Tuesday night is the Republicans have no response. They have nothing. They have a mess to clean up where they "seriously debate" the merits of Nazism to their party. It doesn't get much lower.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.

But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.

You can’t negotiate with people like that.

Donald Trump cares about Donald Trump -- and that is about the full extent of his entire caring radius (rotund, yet provincial)

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

The real kicker is that Mellon's grandpappy is literally the guy who helped usher in the Great Depression with this same fucking idiotard economic policy of shoveling undue riches to the already wealthy while starving the non-wealthy classes

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The browser wars have been suddenly reignited. First Comet conquested Chrome to become my default browser, and now Atlas. Partying like it's 1999.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

We are used to being the opposition party on the left. We're not used to being in power. Ergo we have a native advantage in these information wars -- should we choose to use it

GOP ideology: We want a dynamic economic system that rewards innovation and sweeping change

Also GOP ideology: And we want a social and cultural fabric that remains the same as it was in roughly the 1600s
