@bobcesca.bsky.social @thepoliticsbar.bsky.social @jodyhamilton.bsky.social @trexstasy.bsky.social How can Red Hats still support him? He wants to defund the police!!!

Kind of expecting the #CoverupShutdown to be a long one since Trump sees it as the perfect deflection, keeping the #EpsteinFiles out of the spotlight.

And it has the added benefit in his mind to continuously harm the bottom 99%.

Weak number? More like a spurting hemorrhage.

Google Accused of Blocking Searches About Trump, 79, and Dementia The president has long faced questions about his alleged mental decline.

Google has been accused of hiding AI search results when users seek information about whether the 79-year-old president has dementia.

tl;dr: The Trump shutdown will not materially impact the number of Kavanaugh stops.

For the record, @briantylercohen.bsky.social is correct. 🛎
