I believe the correct word here is “deplorable.”

Democrats tried to praise Trump for getting the hostages released — but in typical Trump fashion he used a moment that should have been about unity to divide and attack.

He immediately reminded people “why 10 million Americans plan to show up next weekend to protest Trump.”

WATCH: Trump admits “I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven. I think I’m not heaven bound. I’m not sure I’m going to be able make heaven.”

Finally something I agree with him on.

This is very good.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 3d

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Absolutely obsessed with Hillary Clinton’s question for Kamala Harris.

“Do you think we’re the reason [Trump] is so unhinged today?”

Frog guy speaks out.

Pepper sprayed by ICE, he still shows up every day to fight for his community.

Really beautiful in the simplicity and conviction of what he says and worth a listen.

I stand with Tish!

Let’s be very clear. Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Tish James is a dedicated public servant who continues to fight for justice for all New Yorkers.

He threatened her about Charlie Kirk.

Then ran her and her friend over with his Jeep.

But you probably haven’t seen this story on cable news. open.substack.com/pub/kaivansh...

He Threatened Her Over Charlie Kirk, Then Killed Them

Cable news is ignoring the latest example of rightwing political violence.

“Mainstream media ran with and continues to run with Trump’s blatant lies, while gaslighting the American public — and lecturing people like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton when they warn abt true things.”

Trump admitting to Project 2025 proves legacy media treated Harris badly.

As Hegseth abuses his power…worth re-reading his mother’s 2018 letter calling him out as an abuser.

REMINDER: Pete Hegseth's own mother warned us about his abuse

Read the full letter she wrote her son here.

So anyways, here’s the letter Pete Hegseth’s mom wrote to him:

“You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego.”

“This shutdown is really Trump’s Don Jr. moment — he doesn’t want to claim it, he doesn’t want to take responsibility for it — but everybody knows that it’s his.”

Gave them a dose of reality about the Trump shutdown on Newsmax.

“Let’s have a trial.”

A defiant Comey says he is heartbroken for the (corrupted) DOJ, but is innocent and has faith in the federal judicial system.

“I’m quoting him and you’re telling me that it’s not valid to quote him.”

Rightwing host has meltdown as I point out the simple hypocrisy of Erika Kirk being a modern working woman who got married in her 30s (all things her husband railed against).
