This. Also:

1. Our nuclear modernization started under Obama.

2. The only significant nuclear expansion under Trump was the low-yield W76 mod 2 submarine launched ballistic missile.

3. Testing nukes is fucking stupid. We don’t need to do it.

Independents blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown by a 2:1 margin.

Trump’s approval with people under 30 has completely cratered.

63% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s management of the federal government.

#GOPShutdown

👀👀👀👀

Also, only 8%? It should be like 30.

Banana republic shit.

Man, I can’t stop thinking about the folks in Jamaica. This hurricane looks like it’s going to be brutal.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Trump just said they’re going to demolish the *entire* East Wing to make room for his ballroom.

So much for the idiots in my mentions saying it was just a wall.

Maga: Well, Obama added a basketball hoop.
🙄🤡🫤

Normal people: wow, it really sucks that Trump is destroying the whole East Wing

MAGA: ☝️ well ackschully, in 1948…

Shut the fuck up.

“How DARE Cracker Barrel change their logo 😡🤬😡🤬 I’ll never eat there again!”

“Destroy the White House harder, daddy 🥵🤤”

Conducting a live fire exercise over a civilian highway is fucking stupid.

It doesn’t really matter if I-5 fell within the minimum acceptable risk threshold for the exercise. Those standards are designed for controlled environments, not civilian highways.

Boston. Wow.

For the Epstein time, Vote YES!

When people show you who they are, believe them.

And of course JD Vance refused to condemn this.

News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before deadline for signing The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.

“Policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media who does not sign by 5 p.m. Tuesday has 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out.”

Absolute fucking abomination.

If anyone wonders why we call them wannabe authoritarians, here you go.

They’re now shitting on the Bill of Rights.

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

If the Commander of Southern Command is stepping down less than a year into his tenure, I’m guessing we’re about to find out the intelligence picture on these “narco-terrorist” vessels that we’re blowing out of the water isn’t as solid as it’s being portrayed.

It’s fantastic news that all remaining hostages have been returned.

I’m not ready to spike the football and declare victory on peace yet, though. These things can - and often do - go completely sideways.

I’m sure the people who were *pissed* that Hunter Biden sold paintings are equally furious about Barron Trump reportedly being tapped for the TikTok board.

Right?

…right?

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution”

THAT PART!

Thank you, Judge Perry.

Imagine dressing like a Temu Richard Petty and criticizing anyone’s appearance

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

No matter how you look at it

“Senior federal officials have quietly counseled several agencies against firing employees while the government is shut down — as President Donald Trump has suggested he will — warning the strategy may violate appropriations law”

Do* violate appropriations law
