Trump will now blame SCOTUS for his failed economic policies, just as he blames the Fed.

That should help him with all the cases he has coming down the pike.

So, as consumers, we paid the tariffs. As taxpayers, weโ€™ll pay the refunds. Tell me, whereโ€™s the money gonna end up again?

Trump says he's directing the Pentagon to release files related to UFOs and aliens Trump's comments came hours after he claimed that former President Barack Obama shared "classified information"' when he told a podcaster recently that he believed aliens were real.

We want the Epstein Files not the X-Filesโ€ฆ

Thereโ€™s speculation that trump suffers from Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). A key component of this disease is โ€œsundowningโ€, or increased confusion in the late afternoon and early evening.

The #SOTU address is scheduled for 9:00pm, when these symptoms would be most apparent.

Wait and see.

Maybe this is a hot take but perhaps someone who snorts cocaine off of toilet seats shouldnโ€™t be in charge of our health policy.

I donโ€™t know what #PamBondi โ€˜s goal was when she entered the hearing room, but all she did was highlight the fact that sheโ€™s protecting pedophiles and looked cuckoo bananas while doing it.

Poll: Trump's ratings on immigration tumble as Americans lose confidence in his top issue Immigration has been one of President Donald Trumpโ€™s strong suits, but the new NBC News Decision Desk Poll shows his numbers falling to the same level as his overall approval.

16.1 million jobs were added to the U.S. economy over the course of the Biden administration.

If the current trend holds, Trump is on track to add just 724 thousand.

Thatโ€™s a 95.5% decrease. ๐Ÿคฏ

U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but revisions show labor market growth stalled in 2025 The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the labor market added only 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs added in 2024.

So the labor market added only 181K jobs in ALL of 2025. But, weโ€™re supposed to believe that it added 130K in just January of 2026.

Keep an eye out for that downward revision

Iโ€™m sorry that Savannah Guthrieโ€™s mom was kidnapped but does it need to be front page news everywhere? I feel like maybe we have more pressing issues as a country.

โ€œShortly after the law enforcement investigation into Jeffrey Epstein became public in the mid-2000s, Donald Trump called the Palm Beach, Florida, Police Department to express gratitudeโ€

He just randomly called the police chief to say โ€œthank you.โ€ Okayโ€ฆ

For those that donโ€™t speak Spanish, what #BadBunny said at the end, after naming all the countries in the Americas from south to north, was โ€œGod bless America, we are America, and weโ€™re staying.โ€

Hereโ€™s the thing about TrumpRX, itโ€™s not actually a bad idea.

Many drugs are cheaper in other countries because they have socialized healthcare and more bargaining power. Thereโ€™s no reason we couldnโ€™t fight for the same prices.

The problem is that they, in no way, actually executed the concept.

Birth certificates are kinda ridiculous.

Like, โ€œHere, little babyโ€”hold on to this very important piece of paper for the next 80+ years.โ€

I mean, I once lost my car keys in the pocket of the pants I was wearing.

I feel badly for the U.S. #Olympics team.

I deployed during trump's first term. It should have been a time I felt proud to serve my country. Instead, I felt ashamedโ€”constantly hoping trump wouldn't do something stupid to put us in danger.

The athletes should be allowed their moment to shine.

If I were treating a patient with progressive frontotemporal dementia (FTD), I would consider a repeat brain MRI every 6 months.

Trumps last MRI was on 10/10/25. It'll be interesting to see if he's back at Walter Reed around 04/10/26.

I don't know. If I was an FBI agent pulled away from actually fighting crime to redact the #EpsteinFiles, I'd probably do a crappy job too.
