So we’re speed-running trade wars and the statutory limits? Bold strategy.

Nothing says “party of business” like telling importers to get in line for their own money back.

They’re right next to the Ministry of Truth shift change is at 2.

At this point I’d settle for a syllabus, let alone a practicum.

Video, Transcript, Reactions: Gov. Abigail Spanberger Says Trump “lied…scapegoated…distracted…offered no real solutions to our nation’s pressing challenges — so many of which he is actively making worse” bluevirginia.us/2026/02/vide...

quick thoughts on the spanberger response. it was a good choice to pull a bob mcdonnell and have an audience so that you're delivering something and not just speaking to a camera. spanberger could use some practice on the teleprompter. that said, the speech is good and she is delivering it well.

Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

Last 30 minutes was Trump awarding military medals to several people.

Absolutely race was the lens here, but it’s all intersecting. Economic and other forms of privilege compound the distance from what most people experience.

Ah, fair point equal opportunity, not equal time. Still funny how quickly the rebuttals hit the airwaves.

He should be in prison lying to the public, abusing power, and shutting down the House for weeks just to go on vacation. Accountability can’t wait. #NoMoreExcuses

Wow. Mike Johnson only took 2 Qs during today's House R presser - he usually takes at least 4 - and neither was about Rep. Tony Gonzales. Johnson is refusing to call for Gonzales's resignation following the release of texts showing he pressured an aide who later committed suicide for sexual photos.

Noticed that too — only 2 questions and zero on Gonzales. Silence speaks volumes.

No way! That’s awesome TV star in the making back in ’90.

S and X gone, 3 and Y fading… robots to the rescue, maybe?

I live in her district. This is true.

Exactly grassroots on the front lines while leadership hides in the back office.

Agreed. Some things don’t need overthinking just call it like it is.

Exactly 100% chance doesn’t mean certainty, just that zero chance is off the table.

Fast check? Might as well try catching lightning in a bottle.

"The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 yrs old, Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."

Exactly hard to feel anything but pity for the kid she was, and total eye-roll for the adult she became.

1983. And somehow the story still gets shrugged off by some.

Exactly when both the act and the cover-up are in full view, there’s nowhere to hide.

And people still wonder why accountability exists… this isn’t politics, it’s horror.

The audacity of making the rich accountable… who do they think they are, journalists?

Yeah, it’s like he’s trying to flex humility… but just ends up flexing awkward instead.

Probably roll his eyes, light a candle, and remind everyone that honesty beats theatrics.

So basically: pledge theater, Trump applause, bills stay the same. Got it.
