This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

Do you know what you are doing on Saturday, October 18?

If the answer is no, you are deserving of nonlethal, but firm slap. #NoKings

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

Red states are welfare states. I am tired of subsidizing them while they insist on staying backward and being a burden.

Netanyahu refuses to release Marwan Barghouti, the most popular Palestinian leader—and the one most likely to bring about a two-state solution. Hamas refuses to disarm. The two enemies are united in opposition to a two-state solution. That makes lasting peace unlikely. wapo.st/3W5yhAx

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

Day 11 of the Republican Shutdown.

Donald Trump is back on the golf course.

House Republicans have cancelled votes for a third straight week.

And Democrats are continuing the fight to protect your healthcare.

House Republicans are now scheming to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

And take away healthcare from tens of millions of Americans.

How did that work out for the extremists the last time they tried it?
