One defense of Trump you'll never hear-- not from his most fervent supporters, not over any scandal-- is "he's not the type of person who would do that."

The only POTUS worse than 45 is now, officially, 47.

The polling is THAT bad now.

That's why they want to rig the elections. They know it's gonna be a bloodbath on top of a massacre on top of a political genocide.

They're scared. We need to keep the pressure I n them & apply it even harder.

Very important that we forget how intentional this all was, so when the inevitable disasters come, the regime can pretend it could have happened to anyone.

Appalling: During Trump's effort to indict Dems for the video warning against carrying out illegal orders, one of their lawyers asked prosecutors to say what statute was allegedly violated, I'm told. They failed to name one. Then they tried to indict anyway.

I mean, when you put it like that, it sure sounds bad.
"Here are Republican 'family values' for your children in 2026:
- allowing them to be murdered in schools
- making it easier for them to die of communicable diseases
- putting them to work rather than educating them
- hiding the identities of those who traffick and rape them"
Florida: we deported all your hard working employees, but have no fear, we're bringing back child labor to fix it.

Seems like Democrats have all sorts of messaging opportunities here

The Chief Justice of the United States will literally change the rules of the Supreme Court of the United States instead of divesting in individual stocks.
NEW: The Supreme Court will begin requiring litigants in March to list the stock ticker for each party involved in a case to make it easier to check if a justice has a conflict of interest that might require recusal. #SCOTUS

The NYTimes often doesn't quote Trump at all, instead reframing his words with a summary falsely suggesting coherent thought, in contrast to the gibberish he actually said. They also don't mention how he routinely mumbles and slurs even prepared remarks, like here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zsd...
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
