Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Why do the press let Trump get away with his blatant lies? He said gasoline is at $2 per gallon. The national average for gas is nearly $3.10 per gallon, according to GasBuddy. Has truthful reporting on the simplest of issues just evaporated in the USA?

Trump’s latest claim won’t fool even MAGA. Walmart’s 2025 thanksgiving meal basket which is 25% lower than a deal in 2024 is not the same basket: fewer items, different (and non brand name) products. It’s just a grocery store promotion. He must think the US public are a bunch of gullible turkeys.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

So Trump ends trade talks with 🇨🇦 because the Ontario Govt paid for an ad quoting Ronald Reagan dismantling the myth that tariffs are good for the US. Here’s the source for the Ontario ad from the Reagan Library. Trump says what Ontario produced was “fraudulent and fake”. Doesn’t appear so! #cdnpoli

The process begun towards lasting #peace in the Middle East is amazing but the media seems to have forgotten these figures:
Under Biden: 108 hostages released.
Under Trump: 33 alive (includes the recent 20) + 4 bodies = 37 total returns.
Trump basks in glory and proclaims that Biden hates Israel.

That @JoeBiden put out this magnanimous & gracious statement AFTER all the horrible, dishonest things Trump said about Biden today, says so much about who Joe Biden is as a person. And reminds us all once again of what an utterly horrible, small, bad, & insecure person Trump is.
