I was expecting the prison management giving GMax the royal treatment were being fired. Silly me!

Your timing is awful here. Why are you giving O2 to the Biden-bad crew? Why not add your expertise to the Felon's many crimes in plain sight? I'm over this media pile-on.

Did our "transactional" pres just take a better deal for himself to help Palestinians for Qatar, dumping Bibi?

Why did the US stop monitoring Russian sabotage plots?? And stopped cyber surveillance of Russia on US. Also stopped sharing intel with our Euro allies. Why?

Yes, Tim Kaine. I'm crossing fingers he doesn't go all gooey again. He is a reliable voter with R's much more than he should. He keeps thinking reaching across the aisle with folks who try to cut off his arm is productive.

Tim gets fooled all the time. He's been a reliable Republican voter in the Senate.

Those making under $200K get higher taxes. And much less services. But if making over $400K – you'll see less taxes.

Thinking a Billionaires' party would save the average American anything – delusional. Soon we'll realize we’ve always been on the SAME SIDE. It’s a common enemy working against us.

Rs saying to be *all about* deficits had Nat’l parks, Veterans, Medicaid, drug cost, FAA bear all the cuts – while billionaires get their taxes CUT.

Result: The budget passed adds *$19 Trillion* over 10 yrs to deficit. What didn’t make it: cutting taxes on tips, taxes on SS, taxes on overtime. Ha!

Gosh, by the snide tone Axios takes on Dem. orgs trying to hold our representative gov't in place, you can see how much Axios appreciates their new front row seat at WH Press Briefings.

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now?

Is it odd we haven't heard a thing - not a word - from our former Presidents? Last I heard George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden were still alive.

They are, right?

Insane non-reaction from them. Much like the Dems last days in power, they still had vacations and breaks. Like nothin' was gonna change...

With few exceptions, every dang one of them are incompetent. As more is known just how much, those voting them in will also be implicated. When it all crashes and burns it needs to fall on Republican's shoulders - alone. Democrats need to be seen as the sane alternative! Long game, folks!!

Check out the (many) Senate Democrats who voted to confirm Project 2025 co-author John Ratcliffe as Director of the CIA! Unacceptable! Tell them so.

Dems need to wake up real quick, Rs in power are not a party to accommodate and help destroy our country. WTF?

Yes. The right has already corrupted the courts, Congress and media. These "ambassadors" are part of their plan to bring down Hollywood as a force against them.

Just now, like a week before skipping out? Why is this, like the Jack Smith report, all being pushed to the last minute? And why did Biden never change 45's exec order mandating Fox News on military bases?? I thought he'd do that first day.

We used to call nations that invaded sovereign countries the Axis of Evil, yes? They were real bad too, as I remember - I think we fought World Wars against them. Right?

Will ANYONE speak up on this? Or are we the bad guys now?

Garland had no issue letting Hur release his awful report. Also WHY has this been relegated to a last minute kind of thing? WHY couldn't Smith have released it while Dems still had the Senate? I'm tired of begging Dems to do the right thing.

It would be helpful to have SOMEONE say they have our back. Minus a very few, Democrats in power have been silent or saying they'll actively help a fascist-curious party take us over. Depressing.

"But the Dems seem extra wimpy rn, yeah?" YES, accurate!

Where is the opposition party on any of it? I get this is the Repub's disaster in the making - but between the Dems silence or their desire to help Repubs destroy, I can't work out where the Party went. Were the "drones" involved?

These 'pearl clutchers' on Hunter's pardon are insufferable. I hope democracy's allies get more clear-eyed about what is coming and how to fight it than they seem to be.

Is there a chance the DOJ DOESN'T release the report?? If they don't, honestly what were they even doing there? I hope they grow a spine soon. Hur's report was 335 pages, got plenty of press.

And this is just some of the evidence Garland had before declining to charge Gaetz!

My current vibe. Please party-now-in-power: fight for us!! How are so many in Congress, Executive and DOJ so damn passive? For decades. How have they ignored the lawlessness so fully? Jon's recounting the Sen. Parliamentarian story broke me.
