Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Whenever I see a republican, all I can think about is how they murder peasant fishermen for trying to feed their families in Venezuela.
There’s nothing more demonic than a supporter of the GOP. 💩

Far too many institutions are bending the knee to Trump and preemptively giving in to his demands. It’s encouraging to see these airports refuse to entertain this administration’s lawlessness. Kudos to them — hopefully their courage inspires others to follow suit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So, if you’re the party of “law and order”…

I can only assume you’d be fine if Obama took a $400 million golden plane from Qatar and then awarded them an Air Force Base in Idaho?

California voters, are you paying attention?

North Carolina Republicans are redrawing the map to hand Trump another seat. They’re bragging about locking down Congress for him.

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but I wouldn't get too excited about a House Judiciary hearing with Jack Smith. If Mueller and Garland serve as examples, these guys tend to say very little beyond "no comment."
