I wanted to buy a house but then an immigrant who made millions of dollars picking oranges in the groves outbid me.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

I just got so angry trying to explain Stitch to my husband.
"So Stitch is an experiment.."
"Isn't he an alien?"
"He's an experiment created by an alien"
"On earth?"
"NO! IN SPACE. HE'S AN EXPERIMENT CREATED BY AN ALIEN IN SPACE ALSO MAKING STITCH AN ALIEN!"
"Why are you mad?"

When I suddenly find myself rooting for Thomas Massie...
Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Haven't seen this one going around as much. Seems bad.
When you tell the ringleader of the pedophile conspiracy that, fine, you’ll see him but you don’t want to run into Donald Trump …

Why are we suddenly against basic painkillers? Does he want us to do Oxy instead?
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

I guess I don't get it. I can't see the Senate passing the Epstein files bill. And even in the most extreme circumstance if it DID pass Trump can just veto it. He hasn't been held responsible for any of the things he's done. He pardoned violent criminals. I don't see why this would be any different.

I'm very surprised but pleased Boebert and Mace stood strong. It's almost shocking, actually. But Johnson can delay the vote on the files quite some time. I assume it won't even be taken up by the Senate but we'll see. Trump is having a bad day and that's the most important thing.

His son probably got a text alert that his dad swore.
It's official: House Speaker Mike Johnson FINALLY swore in Rep. Adelita Grijalva, the Arizona Democrat who promises to be the 218th vote needed to release the Epstein files.
