Nothing wrong at all!

Thou shalt not wear a cross around your neck if you always do the opposite of what Jesus would do.

Lawmakers reminding troops to follow the law should not trigger FBI interviews. Full stop.

Yes and yes.

And shameful.

Bullseye.

Oh god. The secondhand embarrassment! I simply cannot.

Mark Kelly knows exactly what political violence looks like. The fact that the Pentagon is investigating him for urging troops to refuse illegal orders, even as Trump calls for political enemies to be punished, shows how dangerous this administration has become.

Democrats Have an Age Problem Because America Has a Shame Problem The psychology behind aging politicians' reluctance to step aside

It turns out Democrats don’t just have an age problem. They have a shame problem, and it’s reshaping primaries, representation, and even the balance of power in Congress.

Just when you think they couldn’t possibly be more out of touch…

Oof. 🔥

Our Wins Of The Week Just ten months into Donald Trump’s second term and more than a year since he was reelected, the American people are sending a clear message in poll after poll that they are just not that into him.

The polls, the votes, and the rulings all point in the same direction: against Trump. This week, Trump is underwater with the public, Democrats gain ground heading into next year, survivors notch a major win on the Epstein files, and federal courts block key parts of Trump's approach to power.

Trump signs Epstein files bill. Texas maps thrown out. Trump threatens Dems with death. Donald Trump Signs Epstein Files Bill

The Epstein files bill is now law. Texas’s 2025 maps are thrown out for violating constitutional protections. And Trump’s latest posts accuse Democratic members of sedition and say their conduct is punishable by death.

The 2025 Redistricting Wars Is Trump's red state mid-decade redistricting push backfiring?

Trump’s mid-decade gerrymandering push in Texas was meant to secure extra GOP seats and protect his second-term agenda. Instead, a federal judge struck down the maps. Here’s a look at the state of the redistricting wars and what it could mean for next year’s midterms.

I wouldn't doubt it!

Right.

Just what the people need.

I was going to say 'unbelievable,' but there's nothing you can put past him anymore.

The truth shows up in bank accounts, not in whatever delusional, all-caps post he puts up about a 'Golden Age.'

So it’s a distraction...but also a Democratic deflection...from a shutdown Republicans created. Got it.

Truth Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!'

And he's doubling down. This is a deeply unwell man.

This is how democracies fail. A sitting President is boosting calls for the arrest and execution of political opponents for urging the military to uphold the Constitution. Every alarm in the country should be going off.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the trans people lost to violence in the U.S. this year.

Widespread poverty, homelessness, and discrimination makes trans people 4x more likely to experience violence than the average person.

We shouldn’t have to live in fear to be who we are.

Not at all.

100%

Beyond.

😂

It comes in many forms.
