He solicited bribes. That's what Trump did here. There's no reason to pretend it's anything else.

I'm disappointed. I spent nearly two full days in Portland and was never once shot at, robbed, accosted, kidnapped, threatened, nor physically abused during the day, or did I have stench of tear gas, mace, or pepper spray invade my room at night.

It's almost as if some people were lying.

maybe reporters should take another look at some of the people the vice president of the united states follows on twitter and the things they say in public

The leaked chats between Young Republican leaders were obviously disgusting.

JD Vance’s efforts to downplay the scandal and complain about “pearl clutching” made an awful story worse. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

JD Vance tries to downplay leak of disgusting Young Republican chats

For the vice president to suggest it’s “pearl clutching” to condemn those who were part of a racist group chat says a great deal about his judgment.

A result of "foul play or vandalism" ?!?!?

Yeah, someone snuck into your office, strategically placed it behind your staffer, and hoped for the best.

Fuck off Dave, these assholes just got busted saying horrific shit in a group chat.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.
