The bags under his eyes! It must have taken hours to apply all the makeup. He’ll probably be making fewer public appearances rather than spend all that time getting ready.

They would shoot first and ask questions later.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
If Johnson hasn’t threatened or bribed them sufficiently.
Given the amount of makeup he now, obviously requires, I predict he will make fewer public appearances.
He’s even more orange than usual.
Much, much more likely than resigning. Also, possibly some “tariff deal” that will later be denied by the other party
“So forget about my health. Forget about Epstein.”
I can see his mitochondrial challenges from my house.
If this were Biden the media would have a running clock. It has been x number of days, x number of hours, and x number of minute since he has been seen publicly.
I'm shocked. SHOCKED!! #nokings #nopedophiles #nonazis #defenddemocracy
I agree. They can’t keep hiding him for 2 more months.
Serious Credit Card Delinquencies (unpaid balances for at least 90 days) hit their highest level in 14 years 🚨🚨🚨
They could prove it by restoring funding to those they took it from and rehiring employees they fired.
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
Out of 510,000 athletes competing at the collegiate level, there are fewer than 10 who publicly identify as transgender, Charlie Baker, the N.C.A.A. president, said in January
Another record-breaking year for tourism, but these numbers represent more than just statistics: they signify jobs, local economic growth, and lifelong memories created in the Middle of Everything. Illinois is proud to welcome visitors from across the globe.
If you’re in favor of shutting down museum exhibitions or banning books because they make you feel bad, that’s a pretty good tip that you deserve to feel bad.
🤞
They don’t recognize any need tonight justify their nonsense.
And the sycophants in his cabinet him could well want to “protect” him by refusing to acknowledge that he can’t perform his duties.
I strongly doubt he’s dead. Even the incompetents surrounding him know we can’t leave a vacuum. LBJ was sworn in as President two hours and eight minutes after JFK died. They would have to make JD president. But, I do believe he may be too ill do whatever it is he does.
I wonder where they will all go. The U.S. certainly won’t allow them in.
They’re understandably afraid they’ll be arrested. Maybe even deported.
I love carbs. But they hate me.

So don’t rent an apartment in a building that doesn’t have what you consider an adequate number of washing machines.
Older apartments in big cities often have zero washing machines in the building.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
📌 Scientists are not in the business of advancing missions antithetical to public health. ✊🏼
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
Will wonders never cease?
Just in case you forgot…
Trump sneaks in Heather Honey, someone who tried to help him overturn the 2020 election, to oversee OUR election infrastructure. This is outrageous and dangerous. The media must stop being silent. We need accountability NOW‼️ #BlueCrew #ResistTrump
hey hey rfk how many kids did you kill today
FEMA employees were just placed on leave after criticizing the Trump regime in open letter. Their letter was meant to "sound the alarm" about inexperienced appointees and drastic cuts to agency programs. Like all tyrants in history, Trump wants to squelch dissent.
all of this makes total sense when you recognize that “freedom” here means the freedom to dominate those you view as your subordinates and “tyranny” is when someone threatens that “freedom” or worse, when those subordinates try to claim power as political equals
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
They don’t really pray. They just use words they think will get approval from MAGA.
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
As Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.
people love bringing up japan when it comes to deporting immigrants/ creating a homogenous society, but if you bring up japan's anti-gun laws it's "woah woah woah"
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Not only having one, but selecting the right one
It’s not the first time. The Guard was called up in 1970 to break the Post Office strike.
They joined ICE.
No one can predict what this Supreme Court will decide
💯
These guys should be home with their families.
By 11%!
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.
"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."
They *are*transparent. Democrats can see right through them.
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Absolutely!
If you think an autistic person is "dense" because they asked you clarifying questions, I hate to break it to you, but they needed to ask follow up questions because you didn't explain yourself well enough. Not because they have comprehension issues. Hope that helps 🙃
You made this monster, John Roberts
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
I lived in a suburb of Detroit. Eight miles from the city limit. Many of my neighbors had never been to the city.
Great idea, but if it’s a Texas court, does it really matter?
The DOJ released the security video of Epstein's jail in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. The DOJ released the Maxwell/Blanche transcript in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. Such an obvious cover-up.
A Texas court is not going to block it no matter what the law says.
Landing at O’Hare as I read this.
Jon asks why the GOP's "one is too many" logic applies only to immigrants and not mass shootings
The Olympics will be a lot of fun. So many foreigners to choose from
Usually, I am no fan of gerrymandering by either party, but I am tired of fighting with one hand tied behind my back. Tired of bringing balloons to a gun fight. Tired of playing by the rules when one party stopped doing that decades ago. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
Purity tests are "death rattle" for the Democratic Party. It's political suicide. We need fighters...not saints.
🤔
He’s not just like his father. I know it’s hard to fathom, but he’s not as bright.

A federal judge ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. The ruling rebuked the state and federal governments for failing to consider potential environmental harms.
The Bolton raid should chill you: my emergency video (full video linked) adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...
I wasn't overreacting.
Anyone remember how well the untrained (for crowd management) National Guard with weapons handled things at Kent State in 1974? www.yahoo.com/news/article...
DEI acceptance to Yale based on his being a hillbilly.
I am a reporter of Chinese descent and this is absolutely not true
Tired of even the quasi-legitimate fundraising texts. The “quasi” is because it’s not really legitimate to ask me to send money for someone in another state that I’ve never had any connection to just because I contributed to another democrat.
Too soon. If we knock him out of being the 2028 presidential nominee now, they have time to groom another.
I’m thinking of doing that even though I would 100% vote democratic. These texts begging for money are getting me angry. Changing my registration might get me off at least some of the lists.
Trump now has a TikTok account. Remember that TikTok should have divested from foreign ownership by now, and third party providers were supposed to stop carrying it if they didn’t. Trump has not only given them permission to break the law, he now gives China incentive to promote his content as a QPQ
It won’t pass, so just a show.
If it’s a hoax, it’s one that Trump created.
If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
MAGA thinks it’s appropriate.

But he and his political friends have been ignoring laws and getting away with it.
Restaurant owners in DC are now coming out to refute the orange felon’s lie about DC restaurants being the busiest they’ve ever been. The fraudulent asshole literally lies about everything. I hate him.
