Trump keeps acting like predecessors didn’t do things because they lacked spine when the actual reason is they had brains.

I am so worried. So far nothing makes me trust that there is any coherent plan for the future. So even if the killing stops immediately (which probably isn’t going to happen), there are rough times ahead, potential chaos, terrorism…πŸ₯².

"Just making s**t up" β€” David Roberts sounds off on the EPA "To say members of Congress didn’t anticipate a specific pollutant is just f**king comical."

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

She works for Trump only. This is what he wants to see, the people of the United States be damned. It’s horrific.

I am actually relieved to hear this, that her performance was every bit as β€œoff-the-charts” as it seemed to me.

She’s losing her cool while accusing Dems of losing their cool.
