The media's complete lack of curiosity over our nearly 80 year old President's health when he has permanent bruising on his right hand, swollen ankles, facial drooping, disappeared for days from public view twice in the last 2 months and just had an unexplained MRI is notable

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

a snake like that will sell you out too, no matter who you are, if he scents any advantage for doing so. never trust a man who dated Kimberly Guilfoyle

As Republicans say, all hiring should be due to merit, not due to favoritism or preference.

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

To be determined: Pritzker, AOC, Walz

“In short, at no time in our history have we ever had a president who was more dangerous, more reckless, more erratic and therefore less appropriate to possess command authority over a system that could erase life from this planet in an instance.”

Similarly, Repubs won't support the Dem budget, but no one seems to be bothered about that.

What's that? You say Senate Republicans don't want to give up their filibuster in exchange for their budget?

Yeah, well, Senate Democrats don't want to give up this democracy in exchange for your budget either.

We all have problems, I guess.

Dems won't support the Repub proposal, and Repubs won't support the Dem proposal. Not clear how this makes Dems at fault.

I would welcome a change in the Capitol building. Let's just demolish it.

A president so stupid that one of the great intellectual achievements of his life is “passing” a dementia screening. A president so narcissistic that he can’t stop bragging about passing that dementia screening as evidence of his immense genius.

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

This was done to the White House, a federal property, by a man who wanted protesters who spray painted a wall arrested for "destruction of federal property."

It’s still hard to grasp that there aren’t 4 GOP Reps (who will otherwise be forgotten forever after retiring & likely defeated next year anyway) aren’t interested in going down in history as all-time 🇺🇸 heroes by caucusing with the Dems & giving them the majority to impeach Trump & save the Republic

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 3d

Mike Johnson has dissolved Congress. Why?

Those voters, given a choice between an ersatz Republican-lite and a genuine Republican, will always choose the real deal.

Meanwhile, the misguided effort to chase them is driving away gettable voters on the left.

2000s Dems found that supporting the Iraq war wasn’t the key to winning elections. Voters who wanted that backed Bush.

2010s Dems found that running away from Obama didn’t yield wins. Voters who wanted that went GOP.

2020s Dems will find that Bigotry Lite isn’t the key to winning elections either.

This type of thing makes it harder to Trump to make a plausible pro-tariff argument in the Supreme Court.

I hate to be a doomer but the pandemic broke me in this regard I think. After watching like a third of the country proudly say they wouldn't inconvenience themselves even if it cost other people their lives, where do you go from there
