Demonstrations of reality will not get through to them. A mirror might help.

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.

The questions remain. Why did White House border czar Tom Homan accept a bag with $50,000 cash? Who was it from? What was promised in exchange? Why did the DOJ close the investigation? How does bribery and corruption make America great? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Pressed on Tom Homan controversy, JD Vance and Pam Bondi struggle to answer

The US trade war & annexationist push against Canada. H/t @sueinnovates.bsky.social. Apparently, Americans are the victims. Missing, except for a vague comment: 10 months in, there is zero acknowledgement of political agency or the possibility of change on the US side.

After installing a makeup studio at the Pentagon, ‘tough guy’, Whiskey Pete Kegseth decided he needed a little more help looking masculine so he got some Botox shot into his big ‘manly’ head.
