The headlines written around the Republicans refusing to extend subsidies are making me incandescent. It wasn't the Senate. It was Republicans. And they will pay for that mistake.

The economic backbone for so many communities across America is tourism. Because of this White House it is collapsing. Anyone in the @GOP (The Enablers) should be fired in the 2026 election for letting this happen. Vote for Democrats only and put an end to the destruction of America.

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that there is something physically wrong and cognitively wrong with Trump, he knows it, and he's angry and frightened.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
