DHS has a clear and consistent standard:

I'm sure there's an innocent explanation for Trump's bad memory that doesn't include diminished cognitive decline or the pardon being signed with an autopen without him knowing. #utpol

Whether it's liberals snapping their fingers at New York Times staffer orientation or conservatives cutting off SNAP funding for millions of starving Americans, both sides have a snap problem.

"The Last Republican" is a must-watch! @adamkinzinger.substack.com is a man of honor, integrity, and courage (even if he doesn't think so). Look for it on multiple platforms. I watched it on YT. Thanks, @meidastouch.com , for spreading the word about this.

Patel attacked Wray for using a government jet, saying it should be "grounded."

It carries no weight with them. He probably doesn't even remember saying it.

These people just say shit they think are cudgels against people they do not like. It's not a statement of principle. They have none.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Because Mike Johnson and the rest of MAGA is quite content to let Donald Trump run everything.

Congress remaining shutdown is an ideal situation for them.

Trump is steamrolling ahead enacting policy & spending money, no Congress required!
