Trump employs stochastic rhetoric. You never know what he will go through with or what he doesn’t.

This enables his supporters to say “that’s just Trump being Trump!” And makes it impossible to warn or prepare fully for his actions and requires us to “wait” to see what he actually “does, not says”.

Wait one damn minute‼️

I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska.

She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!

I hope and pray this is the beginning of our institutions once again finding their spines.

It seems we’ve had a few wins like this lately. It gives me hope that the system’s antibodies are kicking in.

Call them to say thank you.

Netanyahu tried to dodge his court appearance by claiming a major diplomatic visit was happening today. That turned out to be false. So he showed up in court and then claimed he needed to leave and rest due to bronchitis.

Confirmed by reporters who were there.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."
