'He's gone': Ex-Trump White House lawyer sounds alarm over 'serious cognitive decline' President Donald Trump’s former attorney Ty Cobb warned that the latest outrage of Trump posting photos of the Obamas as apes is only the latest example of the president’s mental deterioration reaching a tipping point. β€œHe has drained 250 years of dignity out of the [Oval] office with acts like this,” Cobb told MS NOW host Ari Melber, adding that Trump’s unmonitored β€œlate night screeds” are the purest representation of Trump’s failing mental health. β€œAt that hour there's nobody … there to say β€˜you might want to rethink this.’ No, that's all related, and it's all part of his cognitive decline,” said Cobb, who worked with Trump and now describes a different, damaged brain behind the face. β€œI mean, there's so many physicians and psychiatrists around the country, and certainly around the world now, who have commented on the on the frontal lobe issues that Trump has, the way that his dementia has aggravated his narcissistic personality disorder, which a sixth grader could diagnose.” Cobb said White House staff was likely working overtime to hide his condition, but the rest of world is finding the truth unavoidable. β€œThe White House tries to prevent him from being perceived as other than whimsical on these things. But he's not β€” I mean, he's, he's gone.” But Cobb added that Trump’s mental absence is not stopping people in Trump’s administration, including advisor Stephen Miller and U.S. Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought from β€œdismantling democracy.” β€œThis man with serious cognitive decline has the nuclear codes,” Cobb added. - YouTube youtu.be

They told us there was no money for healthcare.
No money for kids.
No money for families drowning in medical bills.

But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty.

That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem.

Fund care, not punishment.

So many people are commenting that for the next election DEMS shouldn't waste time on investigating MAGA crimes.

Why are dems still running scared?

We've lost almost every office because of running away from the fight

If anything's to be learned from Trump, it's push back hard & the base follows

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.

There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars in Minneapolis and around the country β€” at the jack-booted thugs occupying our cities.

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital Nurses in Minneapolis doubted federal immigration officers' claims about a Mexican immigrant's severe injuries.

Law enforcement cannot be lawless.

Thousands of aggressive, untrained agents of the federal government continue to injure and terrorize Minnesotans. This must end.

Kudos to Mayor Mamdani.

This is what economic justice looks like.

And it's a reminder of how we can fight corporate greed at the state and local level. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mamdani-ice-delivery-workers-settlement-backpay-uber-gig-workers-million/

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
