Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. She was elected more than a month ago.

Heads up: Indiana's Republican governor just called a special session to consider a new congressional map.

Trump and JD Vance have been pressuring Republicans in the state for months to further gerrymander their map.

Under Trump's orders, Johnson delayed Ukraine aid for six critical months, helping Russia on the battlefield. He's doing the same to the American people: deliberately weakening us, because Trump serves himself and his Russian saviors. No credible bank would lend to Trump then Russia came along...

More nights together needed?

Look I know everyone is saying this White House ballroom project seems rushed.

But you have to understand, President Trump is under immense time pressure to get this construction finished before January 20th, in order to commemorate his dearly-departed best friend’s birthday.

"a spokesman for a defeated world."

Imagine being as stupid as Steve Witkoff and finding this guy credible?

Trump raises tariffs on Canada by 10% over Reagan ad President Donald Trump had halted trade talks with Canada over a provincial government’s ad that has since been canceled.

The ICEmen were presumably looking for undocumented immigrants. Retes’s driver’s license, which he says the ICEmen never asked to see, identifies him as “Veteran Army.” His license plate includes “DV”: disabled veteran. While ICE’s warriors were trying and ultimately succeeding in smashing his driver’s-side window (the better to pepper spray him), they apparently did not notice his rear window’s “Iraq Combat Veteran” sticker.

Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide? "It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.

Here’s where it gets personal for me. When I was 9, I started experiencing suicidal ideation … disinterested in living, and at least some of the time contemplating death and how it might happen … It’s easy to imagine how I would have used programs like these chatbots.

This represents not only what Trump has done to the White House but to the rule of law, the Constitution, and the hellhole betrayal of democracy brought to us by Trump supporters.

What’s he going to do to the Capitol since he doesn't need Congress to do whatever he wants?

The demolition was timed as retribution for the NO KINGS marches. It’s the abuse and sadism we endure every time a malignant narcissist suffers narcissistic injury and needs to heal his deep wounds.
#pathocracy

Typical malignant narcissist behavior is expecting the target of his exploitation to pay for his crimes against them. This payment comes in many forms. After he decides it's paid in full by any manner of despicable ways, he’ll destroy the target — US democracy, freedom, and stability.

The narcissistic psychopaths shut the government down because they don’t plan to re-open Congress.

Trump the malignant narcissist can’t take Canada’s exposure of Reagan’s criticism of tariffs. So he lies and blames 🇨🇦 for making it all up. This is the pathological response to his narcissistic injury of being exposed as incompetent.
This is the mentally unfit man in charge of the nuclear weapons.

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
