Well, their fake Capitol Police pipe bomber story failed bigly, so they’re looking for the next ‘OMG LOOK OVER THERE!!!’ BS as we speak.

It probably ends (at minimum) with war in Venezuela. He still wants to use the Insurrection Act, too, but he’s being urged not to try that for now.

Trump really isn’t controlling much of anything at this point.

What you’re seeing is the Stephen Miller agenda.

He's trying to burn it all down, but he'll settle for just burning the party down.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

1984 wasn’t supposed to be a playbook

Trump is demanding DOJ pay him $230 million for investigating him.

At this point, he’s just seeing how much blatant corruption the GOP will sign off on.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The new pentagon press corps is a predictable clown car of loyalists.

Well, accountability had a good run.

The no new wars guy seems to be trying real hard to get us into a new war

There is zero reason to send CSG-12 to the Caribbean.

Right now? Russ Vought failing to ‘dismantle the bureaucracy’

He’s raging because he wasn’t able to just fire everyone like he we wanted to during the shutdown, and I like it when fascists are mad.

Good question

“Testing plans for US nuclear weapons won’t include explosions, energy secretary says.”

Oh, cool. So the same thing we’ve been doing since… *checks notes* … 1995.

Remember when Harris said she would go after price gouging companies and everyone yelled about communism?

Fun times.

Remember that both Bill and Hillary are in it, and Al Gore. Not to mention Stephen Hawking. How to delineate between those who accepted his largesse and those who partook in criminal activity- while all Republicans have been redacted?

I’m not sure, but I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt on this one.

She’s never given me a reason to doubt her decency, and I suspect this will turn out the same.

Obama was always like that - a reporter fainted in the briefing room during his second term and he paused the briefing and had someone go get his personal doctor to help them.

Makes you miss having a decent human in the Oval.

Has anyone reminded you of when Karmel Allison (an invited guest; girl in bright red) nearly fainted during an Obama speech on the Affordable Care Act (ACA; Obamacare) in the White House Rose Garden on October 21, 2013.

Should a president care & act this way?

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!

His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.

What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢

I’m leaving this post up for transparency’s sake, but I just got some clarification on the federal RIF reinstatement/moratorium.

It only stops them from re-firing people until January of 2026 - I thought it was also a year.

So yeah, there’s not much of a win here. Apologies for the misread.

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs!

Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

We have obtained these photos:

When in Doubt, Blame the Immigrants No. You’re not experiencing déjà vu. The current Republican government shutdown talking point is the same one they’ve trotted out before.

If the GOP wins, "it will prove that Americans care more about choking off aid to undocumented immigrants—even where the aid is already prohibited—than we do about helping fellow Americans."

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.
