This is wild - nothing in the ad is fake. It’s just edited because the speech was 5 minutes long. Yet these guys are lying for Trump.

Reagan would be ashamed.

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

A not insignificant number of people knew the demolition was coming, including people at the White House Historical Association, and did nothing to stop it.

Enten: "Trump is doing absolutely awful in the minds of the American people. We're talking about new lows. CNBC, -13 net approval on the economy. It's -19 among Quinnipiac ... He's not just beating himself with record lows -- this is the lowest for any president ever."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?

Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

There are laws about how to interdict suspected criminals on the high seas.

There are laws about how to renovate federal buildings.

There are laws about how not to monetize the presidency.

There are laws. We should enforce them. And not normalize the flagrant violation of them in the newspapers.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

This Post Should Have Been Shorter My favorite political blog post of all time was published by Jim...

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

β€œApple, Google, and Meta were under no obligation to remove these apps,” says @alexabdo.bsky.social. β€œIf they did it because the DOJ threatened them, even implicitly, that’s aβ€―Firstβ€―Amendment violation.

Can you imagine that this is an ICE recruitment poster?
It’s like β€œwhy sit around on your sofa w/your wife nagging you every two minutes when you can sit in comfort in a van big enough for friends? You’ll get a mask, a gun, & your very own β€œillegal” so you can feel superior & secure in your ride.”

Trump Keeps Attacking Americans. Why Does He Get Away With It? Republicans can insult half the country without consequence. Democrats say β€œdeplorables” once and never hear the end of it.

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.
