A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

Yale needs to ask JD for the diploma they gave him. It was clearly given to the wrong person‼️

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

I bought the CD of Les Mis when I was a Junior in High School back in ‘90. I know every word to every song but never thought I would be singing those songs in our streets. #NoKingsOct18

GOP Speaker Johnson refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva despite winning her election 2 weeks ago with 70% of the vote is a practice run for what GOP plans to do after 2026 election. They will not seat Democrats who won to keep control of the House. Dems need to fight hard this issue now!

Majority of the people in these states went for trump, Alaska being the smallest margin, by comparison. They're about to get what they voted should happen to others (i.e. Dems, women, poc, LGBTIQA+, non-Christians, etc). My empathy for the people who voted against it.

Calling 40 year old men kids is wild. JD Vance is 41. He's not just a chubby kid with a beard. He's a grown ass man.

Male ego and confidence aren't the same thing. Lots of candidates/elected officials, male and female, have confidence. Ego comes with entitlement and an apparent lack of self awareness. Our Congress, unfortunately, has plenty of people fueled by their ego -especially on the right- and it shows.

MAGA thought they elected Trump to save America, but instead he’s saving Argentina. $40 billion now going to Trump’s buddy Javier Milei, while Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or basic healthcare.
