Too too too much Trump.
Statement from Trump about his good friend Rudy Giuliani who was injured in a serious car crash on Saturday:
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
Vacant
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
Maybe Susan should give up like Joni and Tom.
Wow!
What kind of desperate stunt will he pull now? Sick to death of this sadistic reality show.
They’re a Mar-a-Lago adjacent company, no doubt.
Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
In another instalment of:“Didn’t Age Well” RFK Jr on Trump: “The way you build a truly vicious nationalist movement is to wed a relatively small core of belligerent idiots to a much larger group of opportunists and spineless fellow travelers whose primary function is to turn a blind eye to things”🥴
That was yet another “gasp moment.”
I still can't believe RFK Jr said this in front of Congress and he's still in charge of public health.
If you played me this clip of a Georgia congressman named "Buddy Carter" talking with this accent, I would've called you a hack filmmaker.
Easy to say when you know your state is safe.
I’ve been under the impression that this one has a faint recollection of what a conscience is.
Our news media are so broken. There's a way to challenge someone in an interview without looking like you're the press secretary for the other side. ABC's Martha Raddatz badly misses the mark. "Why fight with the president?" she asks.
O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"
Parroting Trump, Raddatz repeatedly attacked Moore for claiming he had a Bronze Star when he didn't. She apparently didn't know that Moore now HAS the Bronze Star that his superior officer told Moore he had earned years ago in battle.
Lori Chavez DeRemer: "Consumer confidence is up." (Consumer confidence is actually way down since Trump's second inauguration.)
GOP responses to mass shootings: Step 1: Blame it on mental health, not guns Step 2: Vote to cut funding for mental health Repeat I live outside the US, and I can assure you: the rest of the world has people with mental health problems. What they don't have is easy access to unlimited guns.
JB Pritzker uses the word "invasion" to describe what Trump has planned for my city, Chicago. And that's exactly what it would be – an autocratic government trying to crush our dissent because we oppose his corruption, cruelty and incompetence. It's what dictators do.
Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Not fast enough!
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
A federal judge rushed an emergency hearing after learning that Trump was moving to deport children to Guatemala despite an order she had issued earlier Sunday. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
You have to wonder how many other planes have quickly left the US without anyone knowing.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
California stepping up.
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
I wonder why Trump imposed secondary tariffs only on India for buying Russian oil while not caring about all the other countries who buy Russian oil?
Nothing he can do can stop it from coming.
It seems to me one of the best arguments to the court is that if this is truly a national emergency, the president’s own party controls Congress but has done nothing to address it with legislation, so how can it possibly be an emergency?
They should be humiliated that it took a court ruling to let them know they were being neutered.
Not a surprise anymore.

Yup. He’s mega bloated.
Apparently his lovely limestone patio was the first step in the crumbling process.
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
They both have their reasons. Khanna wants to run for Senate if Padilla runs for governor. Massey wants to take Trump down. I only hope they will at least try to pretend it’s about the victims. It might help the cause to include some female MOC.
Or straps his head to the top of his car.
Baby
This is never going away, is it?
It took me a few minutes.
Close up as Trump getting in SUV. Notice his bloated edema face. It looks like aids rushed into his smelly bedroom and said "Quick, get up and get outside to quell those rumors you're dead"
He looks all drugged up.
Wow
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
NEWS: Walgreens just got taken over by private equity. Private equity has a record of running companies into the ground. Walgreens could be the latest victim: closing more stores, service plummeting, workers losing their jobs, and eventually bankruptcy.
Mexico elected a real president.
I really hate these people.
Image caring more about stopping a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting than stopping mass shootings. #Priorities
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Looks more like a trip to a hospital disguised as a trip to the golf course.
We can never forget that he could never have gotten to this point without the feckless and corrupt GOP.

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
Great news!!
Every frickin’ day.
YES! That’s the way it’s done!👏
I wrote President Trump a note in study hall! Am I your favorite Congressman? Check : ___YES ___NO
Did he think the Santa beard would hide him from his constituents?
the founders envisioned a madman potentially becoming president what the founders did not envision was the majority of Congress and the Supreme Court becoming part of a cult of personality around said president. it’s both pathetic and horrifying
The Boss Hogg of the Trump Regime.
Soros is an awfully busy guy.
Wildly popular with billionaires.
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
Pretty remarkable that ending tax credits to EVs is underwater with the public. This 50-48 policy loser is probably the high-water mark for undermining EV credits as well.
TWO PERCENT?!
RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...
Susan Collins rolling out her familiar playbook of pointing out to Maine voters heading into an election year clear abuses of power by Trump, solely to create an illusion of independence, while doing absolutely nothing about it.
Bet I know.
Pretty funny that these people can debate with a straight face what Lisa Cook put down on a mortgage application when we know the president of the United States said on a loan form that his 10k square foot condo was 32k square feet --- all the Republicans are just fine with that.
MORE Dr. Daskalakis!!!!

I’m with you, God.
Wanna hear another reason that Democrats in the Senate need to retire? Senator Welch to Chris Hayes: What you’re seeing now is Kennedy totally double crossing Senator Cassidy. He gave reassurances to Cassidy that turned out to be lies. Hayes: With due respect to Mr. Cassidy, I didn’t believe him.
The Partridge Family
A day late and…well, you know the rest.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
She should be alarmed that her constituents booed the hell out of her at a ribbon cutting.
Just in case you forgot…
Right? They opened one near me and I wanted to stop every time I was near. Finally did. Yuck
This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
Will wonders never cease?
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
Watching Fox News can get you killed. Ask Ashli Babbitt.
Ashli Babbitt died defending someone who will not release the Epstein Pedo files.
Most likely
He does.
Nor should we.
