Seniors came to JD Vance's event to demand the Trump Administration stop cutting Social Security.
JD's response:
"Don't you all have jobs?"

“Instead, we will be signing a blank check and handing it to him to do with as he wishes. I am very smart.”
Schumer: "For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR. It is deeply partisan. It doesn't address far too many of this country's needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."

In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t.
If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

Too little too fucking late. What a coward waiting until it's nearly too late to do anything.
Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

I get that they’re doing this mostly as a weird flex to look tough to their base of incel losers.
But if they actually got this — ten new states full of voters who hate Trump, with 20 senators and who knows how many House members — it would absolutely end them.

This is Andrew Beck.
Beck is Vice President of the Claremont Institute, one of the intellectual braintrusts of radical Trumpism.
He's been all in on the anchuluss of Canada.

Quite the headline, 'Unexpectedly.' The only person who might not have expected this is the writer of the headline.
Trump campaigned on lowering prices “on day one.” But guess what — food and energy prices have actually INCREASED. This is raising new concerns about inflation.
If you’re surprised, you haven’t been paying attention. The bottom line: Trump doesn’t care about you.

Did Hegseth learn to read Russian, or did they translate it to English for him?
Hegseth: "We must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective ... the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement."

I'm ashamed to admit that it took me years to realize that places like deep red Mississippi and Alabama only vote that way bc of decades of oppression and gerrymandering, until black and brown voices don't count. Letting 'red states' drown kills a lot more than just your enemies.
saw another skeet full of replies from white liberals saying we should leave people in red states to die
millions of Black, brown, and poor people live in red states and either don’t want to leave or can’t leave.
disrespectfully, fuck all of you who leave people to drown. gross.
