Johnson doesn't think domestic violence is serious.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

COLLINS: How do you determine whether something is a conflict of interest?

ERIC TRUMP: We have external ethics advisers. We take that very seriously. But yeah, I have a huge problem when Nancy Pelosi front runs every trade.

C: So you don't ever talk about crypto with your dad?

E: I really don't

Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

Trump just pissed away $40 BILLION of your money to prop up a South American clown’s clown car economy

For context, the US has given $140B total to Ukraine, most of which stayed in our country to buy weapons from US manufacturers

$40B. Pissed away. Gone. For nothing

Btw, release Epstein files

"trump wants to import nazis" is a fine democratic immigration message

Paul Waldman @paulwaldman.bsky.social · 1d

So Nazis. They want to give refugee status to Nazis.

OK, maybe not JUST Nazis. Also certain other white people who hate non-white immigration. But Nazis can definitely come.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

The proposals also advise Mr. Trump to prioritize Europeans who have been “targeted for peaceful expression of views online such as opposition to mass migration or support for ‘populist’ political parties.”

That appeared to be a reference to the European far-right political party Alternative for Germany, whose leaders have trivialized the Holocaust, revived Nazi slogans and denigrated foreigners. Vice President JD Vance has criticized Germany for trying to suppress the views of the group, which is known as the AfD.

Their rotting pumpkin of a leader pardoned every single traitor that attacked police on J6. With everything, 100% believe the exact opposite of what comes out of their mouths. They're protecting pedophiles to stay in power. They're pardoning scammers. Law & order is a joke to them.

The GOP spent years screaming about a manufactured Biden bribe but says nothing about this. Tells you all you need to know.

Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo stating: “The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips. Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons. Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection. This is how bribes work.” Below is an image of Donald Trump sitting across from the Emir of Qatar in a formal meeting room. Text overlay: “Quid Pro Presidency.”

Oh, by the way, I wrote in @thenation.com about how Trump is condeming millions of Americans to hunger this Thanksigiving with his accelarated timeline of adding work requirements for SNAP benefits.
I also discussed how work requirements provably don't work, for the neoliberals in your life.

Trump Has Just Condemned More Americans to Hunger

The administration’s decision to fast-track a bunch of changes to food stamps—including new work requirements—is as stupid as it is cruel.

I wonder if he'll start a charity for children dying from fentanyl, so he can use that to skim money off of it. Oh wait, he's not allowed to start another charity after ripping off the one he & his family had for children with fucking cancer.
