Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Mike Johnson refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 7 weeks after she won her election by about 40 points. Mitch McConnell refused to give Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, even a hearing for most of a year. Sen. Tommy Tuberville blocked all military nominations for 10 months /

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Will This Photo Define the Trump Years? A Saturday Prompt

“Much like we may look at a photo of JFK…moments before his assassination in Dallas and wonder how that terrible tragedy could have happened, we may look at this photo of Trump and wonder how this terrible tragedy is happening in our Oval Office now.”

Republican strategists have been planning and building for this moment for half a century. We are shocked but we should not be. We need to stay the course. This shit will be undone if enough of our country can wake the f up in time.

Trump’s attacks on healthcare have been devastating.

I visited Terros Health in Phoenix this week—a community health center stretched to the brink by cuts to Medicaid and food assistance.

We should be strengthening these lifelines, not starving them.

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

Traumatizing working people. That's the Maga/GOP/Silicon Oligarchy philosophy. From Trump to Musk to Vought to Thiel, it's about traumatizing working people.

I’ve just read the most ridiculous news story . Tom Brady cloning his pet dog . So has Barbra Streisand. Twice.
This is insanity. So many other dogs in the world and all dogs are good dogs. My beloved guide dog died this year. She was unique. She can’t be replaced but I can love another unique dog

There's a bipartisan push by some in Colorado's congressional delegation to free a father and children seized by ICE on their way to school in Durango. ICE has not suggested the father committed any crime.
