The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

While people continue to struggle to get FEMA aid approved after their lives were destroyed by natural disasters.

Hysterical!😂

Fox News IS faux news.

Please Shout Fire. This Theater Is Burning The United States is being destroyed from within, and mainstream journalism isn't making that clear. When I was a kid, there was a popular phrase--"what if they had a war and no one came?" What if we ...

Reporter: Why was the national weather service not pinging their phones before 7.. Was it a fundamental failure of the federal government’s responsibility to keep us safe?

Noem: Trump is currently upgrading the technology in the national weather service..

Defense Department will stop providing crucial satellite weather data Hurricane forecasters and scientists rely on weather data collected and processed by Department of Defense satellites. The Navy has decided to stop sharing the data.

Such a dramatic difference

For the life of me I don’t understand going to the effort - time, money, everything - of running for Congress, winning, and then just rolling over. It makes no sense.

Every single plank of Donald Trump’s platform has been struck down by the courts because it’s unconstitutional.

Republicans don’t want to face this simple reality.

FT and his despicable apologists

The Republican budget is full of cuts that will disproportionately harm women and families.

The Trump family's crypto business just got a huge $2 billion investment from a UAE government-backed firm.

We are witnessing a foreign government effectively bribe the President of the United States — right out in the open.

Hello?

He is bananas!
RFK is not OK

Company Boasts Spending Up To $20 Million On Trump Crypto Coin To Buy Influence The arrangement puts money in Trump’s pocket in return for the opportunity to change policy — exactly the sort of pay-to-play scheme critics warned about.

Nothing important here. Just a publicly-traded company disclosing to investors that it’s attempting to bribe the President of the United States by buying his cryptocurrency in order to influence his trade policy.

John Roberts created a monster. It's about to eat him. The Supreme Court faces an existential dilemma of its own creation.

New in PN: John Roberts created a monster. It's about to eat him.

"After all, how can the rightwing justices expect a future president — particularly a Democratic one — to accept rulings limiting the exercise of their power from a Court that served as the judicial stooge of an aspiring dictator?"

What the actual heck?
