I said elsewhere that I was amazed to see MTG acting like a legit MOC for the first time since she was elected. Her speeches were clear, firm, reasoned, and compassionate, and not her usual shrill, unintelligible ranting.

Nothing libertarian about that statement, but you wonder what he would say about RFK Jr's lifestyle.
While the survivors and victims of Epstein's and Maxwell's unlawful acts were clearly the heroes of the press conference, I have to acknowledge that I have never seen MTG act more like a real MOC than she did today (at least for an hour).
There really isn't anything, especially a crisis (that doesn't exist) that Trump could make better by getting involved.
Literally, no one has ever smiled at Trump with any kind of fondness, joy, or respect except Epstein. #ReleaseTheFiles
SAVE THE DATE! Indivisibles are working with partners to do this big! We Say No Kings!
While the US is not subject to the ICC, Trump could be subject to criminal complaint because Venezuela is and he killed Venezuelan citizens in contradiction to international human rights. Just because prosecuting him would be difficult doesn't mean there isn't value in doing it.
LOL the one with just its tail on the bed!
They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal
The rift surrounding the US Civil War never healed and has played a big role in today's rift.
SPOTTED: Mobile billboards driving around D.C. demanding federal agents take their masks off — because public servants should face the public. Go follow @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social!
It’s hard to focus on the growing existential threats abroad when your own government is intent on killing you.
Mine has been blooming for months, though each blossom only lasts one night.
Ernst walked away from a potential challenge. Maybe she'll encourage Collins to do the same. 😉
Trump is good at trying to control the news, but allowing public speculation that he's seriously ill or dead to distract from the Epstein files shows his fear.
Wonder if Susan Collins is concerned. 😏
Where is Jake Tapper now?
Holy fuck! 🫡🫡🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Labor day view from my studio. I don't think it will ever get old. 😍
It's simply incomprehensible that MAGA can't see that any and all claimed tariff revenues - no matter how exaggerated - come directly from their own pockets via higher consumer prices. They don't even believe their own wallets. 🙄
RFK Jr. is anti-science, anti-healthcare, and anti-mental health awareness, among other things, who could possibly believe that he could recognize a psycopath?
Remember when some used to think Ted Kennedy was the "bad" Kennedy?
Amazing how fearful the GOP is of voters.
This is probably how Trump treats his landscapers at MAL too, no benefits and inadequate pay.
Lisa Murkowski is a joke, a bad one, but a joke nonetheless.
ICE is running out of eyes to blacken.
If you can't vent about the moral decay of a country, then venting serves no purpose. Keep doing it; it's unifying.
This use of the NG is degrading and shows a complete and utter disregard for American service men and women. They are not props for his theatrics. This must stop.
Johnson: we believe the polls we like, the others are fake news. 🙄
Exactly what I came to say, but add misogynistic or racist (depending on who has called them out).
When has Trump ever admitted a mistake, bad decision, sexual assault, felony conviction, corruption, or any other error, bad judgment, failure, or the like? 🙄
So, she's not willing to fight and face humiliating defeat for what she allegedly believes in? Typical Republican coward. But, good riddance. Make it cost Iowa; elect a Democrat.
Don’t look away
We can take action steps toward a solution to gun violence and send thoughts and prayers of support to the victims and families of it at the same time. But thoughts and prayers alone will solve nothing.
Or award it to Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton just because they were right about everything.
FL taxpayers need to demand accountability for this waste of millions of $$ even if they can't get accountability for the egregious human rights and environmental impacts.
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
So many adults have to fail a child before he ends up 10 years old telling CNN about the mass shooting he lived through this morning
🥰🥰🥰
🤮🤮🤮
Absolutely this!
Why isn't anyone - everyone - pointing out to Trump that anyone who sends the military after his own citizens or starts a civil war is automatically disqualified from the Nobel Peace Prize.
🎯
Savannah police say the video is "selectively edited" and that the suspect had been fighting earlier. Yet, no response to the fact he was handcuffed and nonviolent at the time police officers threw him to the ground. No integrity or ethics here. x.com/SavPolice/st...
"Concerned" always works for Republicans. Ask Susan Collins. 🙄
#NationalDogDay
Typical Christian/Republican hypocrisy: Do as I say, not as I do, or rules for you, but not for me. 🙄
"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."
And to make it more appalling, Trump is claiming the Constitution gives him a right that SCOTUS said decades ago does not exist because of the Constitution.
Peruvian Apple Cactus with flower and fruits. 😍 #DesertGarden #CactusFlower #Gardening
"If you are not nice to President Trump, he will bring the full force of the state down upon your life. If you are nice to President Trump, he will use the full force of the state to help you." There are words for this.
This is embarrassing, or at least I'm embarrassed for him. I didn't see any "running," did you?
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
Hahahaha! Love this!
Are we sure this isn't a sign that they're expecting a lot of Americans to try to escape into Mexico? 🙄
Given Gym’s history of ignoring sexual abuse, they couldn’t have found a better spokesperson for their cause.
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
Trump would like nothing better than to create millions of stateless people subject to abuse.
🥰😍
Talk about "waste, fraud, and abuse. " ... Maybe start with Elon and Melania. 🙄
A moment of beauty in the #Garden this morning. #CactusFlower #DesertGardening
This. 🎯
No solution to the problem other than selling your sole and 10% of your Company to Trump. 🙄
If Trump world isn't dystopian enough, we now have environmental concerns undermining his human rights abuses. Nonetheless, a win is a win.
You know what’s not in John Bolton’s home? Tons of Epstein files, photos, and videos. That shit is hidden in Donald Trump’s Justice Department.
You should be mad about the FBI raiding John Bolton’s house not because you love John Bolton but because you’re opposed to Trump using the FBI to intimidate his critics
Too many MAGA think Newsom is emulating Trump. They think the response is to criticize him for not being as Trumpy as Trump. The satire is brilliant, fully shining the light on MAGA morons. More Dem leaders need to find a similarly effective tactic, call it "insane washing" Trump.
February daytime temps are great here, but we can get down to freezing at night. 🏜
😂🤣😂
A measured approach to address a particular problem at a particular time. We need more of this.
I have to go out in 105 degrees (plus) to get to my studio. You can do it. 😊
What "hope and progress"? TX just took a giant step backward, disenfranchising Blacks and Hispanics at the request of the President.
LOL and he's calling a woman a decade younger than him "old."
What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?
Anyone asked to testify under oath about what's happening in federal detention centers will say one of 2 things, "I was just following orders" or "I plead the 5th." Neither response is acceptable.
Not only is he insulting, but he's wrong. According to DC Health Matters, the white population is 39.42%, with Black or African American residents making up a slightly larger percentage, around 42.5%.
Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃
😍🥰😍
This guy has dreamt his whole life of being a cop, firefighter, soldier, astronaut, or any other physically demanding job for which he could never qualify, and now the Trump administration says he doesn't need physical fitness, only hate, of which he has much.
😂🤣😂
Back in the day, even the bad cops hid their identities and law enforcement affiliation under KKK under robes and hoods. ICE is public, even behind masks.
😂🤣😂
Government waste, fraud, and abuse.
Facts (historic, scientific, artistic, natural, etc) vs. Trump propaganda. The latter must not prevail.
👏👏👏
100% agree, but remember, Trump thinks he is "the victim." 🙄
It's just a power play. If the Executive Branch doesn't have to comply with court orders, this is just the message that they don't recognize the power of Congress either.
Did anyone ask him if he looked? 🙄
Republicans have no bottom. Most reasonable or rational people would be appalled even to consider these types of actions regardless of motivation.
When I started reading this post, I assumed Perino was talking about Trump, but when I got to the part about his wife telling him that he's making a fool out of himself, I knew it couldn't be because Melania doesn't care how stupid Trump looks. So, just another moment of MAGA hypocrisy.
Body language shows Trump didn't listen to a word Macron said.
Trump doesn't know what love is.
Doocy doesn't understand the plot yet again. 🙄
Posted without comment as none is needed.
Yes, more of this kind of pushback! 💙Canada
At this point, what could Putin share about Trump that isn't already known? He's a pedophile, a convicted fraud, serial sexual assaulter, bigot, confidential doc thief, and adulterer complicit in the deaths of thousands. Too many don't care. What could Putin disclose that would change their minds?
