HRC was vilified for saying something that, even out of context, was far less awful. And, she wasn't the sitting President.

The image shows a news broadcast from "The White House" at 1:35 PM ET, featuring Karoline Leavitt speaking at a podium with a cross necklace, an American flag, and text indicating breaking news about a Senate shutdown vote.

It should start smoking any second. Also, all patients regardless of immigration status are asked to pay for emergency medical services if they are able, Karoline.

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are โ€˜Losersโ€™ and โ€˜Suckersโ€™ The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.

Are we still waiting for proof of this?

He called them suckers and losers, seems pretty clear he doesnโ€™t respect our military.

Are we forgetting the beginning of the year when he didn't even go to welcome home the 4 fallen soldiers? I get it diaper changes, toddler tantrums, sundowning, and stairs are hard.

If any other president was 57 minutes late to an event addressing service members, there would be wall-to-wall coverage on all 3 major cable news networks addressing whether or not the president cares about the military.

So it wasn't just that people were being credulous, it's that there was proof Trump was lying at the time but those people didn't care because they wanted to show they were fair and objective (to Trump, not the facts their readers needed to know)

In undercover interview, Project 2025 architect gets candid on the initiativeโ€™s radical goals and connections to Trump In an undercover interview with reporters from the British non-profit organization Centre for Climate Reporting, Project 2025 architect and MAGA ally Russ Vought admitted to the project's strong ties ...

When you recall that political reporters ran interference for Trump over his "opposition" to Project 2025, remember that even AT THAT TIME there was a hidden camera interview with Vought where he said that was bullshit and he didn't mean it. www.mediamatters.org/russ-vought/...

Politico's $50M Peter Thiel Problem Is Axel Springer CEO's son the 'German JD Vance'?

For a while, I was baffled by Politicoโ€™s complete inability to cover this stuff, but then again Peter Thiel dropped $50M into a venture capital fund started by the son of Axel Springerโ€™s CEO and co-owner.

Ian Ward; Also, these are contradictory thinkers, a lot of them you can't square Thiel and Yarvin's thought with the thought of someone like the Claremont Institute necessarily. There are real tensions here and those tensions exist within JD Vance's thinking. So I think you need to broaden your frame a little bit to understand the full complexity of Vance's thought.
CHAKRABARTI: Gil, you want to respond to that?
DURAN: I think there is a plan. It's called Project 2025. And that's where all of these things are now merging. A plan to completely seize control of government, to fire up to 500,000 government bureaucrats and make government as a right-wing tool. So there is actually a plan.

I was on NPR with that reporter last year and he tried to argue that the tech right and the Republican right were disjointed rather than organized, and didnโ€™t have a policy plan. Played real defense for JD Vance! And I was like, what about Project 2025?

As someone who works in abortion rights, this is my personal favorite. To my knowledge Kathleen Parker has never apologized or admitted she was wrong.

The worse it gets, the more damage the regime and MAGA takes.

Itโ€™s very simple: They control the government and if America unravels, theyโ€™re going to get blamed.

No amount of spin can save them.
