Trump seems to be getting sicker everyday. It’s amazing to me that Republican politicians are keeping their seats on this failing train wreck. I’m excited about the midterms.

We are monitoring the situation in St. Paul and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.
While we are always willing to work together on public safety, that is clearly not what this chaotic situation was about.

Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies.
Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.
They're selling out their own voters.

It’s ALWAYS projection with Cadet Bone Spurs. HE is a traitor for attempting a coup, sh*tting on the Constitution and the rule of law DAILY. Even low life Epstein said he didn’t have “one decent cell in his body.”

Two words: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Trump: "I was gonna talk about Pritzker and size. But when I talk about Pritzker I get angry because he's not letting us do the job. So I'm not gonna tell my Pritzker joke. You know, some speechwriter wrote a joke about his weight ... I refuse to talk about the fact he's a fat slob"
