The Republicans are going all the way to the Supreme Court to starve hungry children but please tell me again how the shutdown is the fault of the Democrats.

A tweet from Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis) reads:

Below is a photo from C-SPAN showing Dr. Oz speaking at the White House podium while Trump sits at the Resolute Desk, leaning back in his chair with eyes closed, surrounded by officials. The C-SPAN chyron reads: β€œTRUMP ANNOUNCES DEAL WITH PHARMACEUTICAL FIRMS FOR LOWER WEIGHT LOSS DRUG COSTS.”

Goldman School of Public Policy Coming Up Short: A Conversation with Robert Reich and Michael Lewis

Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.

Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER $20B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.

So much for America First.

OBAMA: β€œBetter’s good… we’re not gonna get to perfect. Do I think single-payer with no profit motive would’ve been smarter? Absolutely.”

President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll

Skateboarders bombed down the hills of San Francisco’s Twin Peaks in a Saturday gathering that avoided the injuries and police confrontations of the past. This year’s β€œhill bomb” served as a symbol of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Shut down but not silenced: Federal workers find their voice After months of layoffs and funding cuts by the Trump administration, the government shutdown has given some federal employees hope that their voices are finally being heard.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their β€œproperty”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.

Today, I'm signing legislationΒ to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter.

It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote.

And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

The President is unwell.

PBS comments: β€œhis remarks were rambling and incoherent,” in multiple appearances.

The Guardian calls some of his speeches β€œbaffling” and β€œweirder than ever.”

Cambridge analysis says that his statements often require β€œtranslation” or annotation to make sense.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Imagine a place where mental illness is on the rise and everyone has a gun.

Where the guy in charge actively foments civil unrest, all to distract from his rampant corruption and pedophile benefactors.

You don’t have to imagine such a place.

You’re living in it.
