Here’s what I saw at Zelensky’s White House meeting: he has experience with bullies, and he knew to react right away, and with strength. Take note, US Congress.

Their opinions feel so irrelevant now.

The way Charles Ponzi dramatically reimagined finance. Or Jeffrey Dahmer reimagined dining.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin asked MI residents for campaign contributions. It didn’t go well.

Hmm…it’s a strategy…maybe not the best strategy.

Agree. Petty retribution for Caroline Kennedy.

Cry for help! Those pajamas are cute at 23. Any older and it looks like you forgot to get dressed.

Really, that would be the way to shut down the country and make us all be silent and complacent: a coffee ban.

As you can see, Donald Trump remains laser-focused on bringing down the price of eggs.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Democrats in Congress, we need your outrage. Or, at least a furrowed brow. Get some Trump-like media stunts going to bring attention.

Agree! Just tried to call both. #senatorgarypeters: the phone call cuts off. #senatorelisaslotkin: mailbox is full.

Zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights when Dems were in charge.

The β€œGo Home” at the bottom is interesting, too.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
