The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Dear SINO,

Speaker In Name Only, remember when you compared yourself to Moses?

Yeah, well Mike, if Moses were anything like you, he’d have sold his soul to Pharaoh and danced in his ballroom while the people starved outside.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Sen. Lindsey Graham to the Republican Jewish Coalition: "I feel good about the Republican Party. I feel good about where we're going as a nation. We're killing all the right people and we're cutting your taxes. Trump is my favorite president. We've run out of bombs."

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

My guess is Mamdani's electoral coalition being so differently distributed is going to be mostly limited to NYC because he's the right combination of opportunity and skill, but if it transfers to other electorates, whooo boy hold onto your butts

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

After decades of enjoying the show 60 Minutes...I will likely. Never. Watch. It. Again. It's only a fond memory, now. It no longer exists.

It was a pretty weak 60 Minutes interview! Gave trumpy the upper hand and allowed him an even wider audience to Lie! Lie! Lie!!

Trump would still lie.

Then he would call it a hoax.

He would attack the journalist.

He would say everything is unfair.

He didn’t mean it.

Something something Biden.

And in the case of this particular post, ask him whether he regularly sends private direct messages to cabinet officials, as this one seemed intended to be.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.
