🤢 Watching the EU leaders sitting there, indulging fascism and narcissism and insanity, makes me vomit. All (except the Brit) articulately speaking a language not their own. Thank god they all realized, as did most watching, that they came to humiliate, and manipulate, the dangerous American fool.

🔥 Absolutely with Jasmine Crockett on this one. Mike Johnson isn’t leading the People’s House; He’s running Trump’s protection racket.
He’s keeping Congress out to shield his idol from scrutiny over his pedophile pals.

Not that difficult to focus on Republicans, that group of people with the majority who are voting against healthcare, or more specifically one you’re claiming to run against.

Trump is block pardoning criminals, before he croaks, isn’t he?
Calling these criminals “alternate electors” is like referring to Jeffrey Dahmer as dietary adviser.

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

Trump and MAGA…that’s not what will “kill” us off.
If democracy dies…it will result from our own decision to commit “suicide.”
This is an example of the suicidal attitude I’m talking about.
Resilience is what determines whether democracy survives. Without that nothing else meaningful happens.

Maybe (just maybe) Senate Democrats voting to end the shutdown are playing chess, not checkers. Forcing the House to stay in session, keeping them working, and giving House Dems time to hold the line and get Adelita Grijalva sworn in…
Those who voted yes aren’t running again right?
