Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

I would like to see the orange traitor take that test.

DHS released a glossy ICE raid video straight out of an authoritarian playbook: helicopters over Chicago, 900 people swept up, children separated, citizens detained. They call it “Operation Midway Blitz.” I call it despicable state propaganda masking terrorist constitutional crimes.

And yet every time I bring it up, there are Americans in the comments aggressively asserting that they will never help with an effort like this, because bullshit reasons.

Wanna know whose shutdown this is?
