Lashing out at reporters.

Falling asleep at meetings.

Misremembering basic facts.

Donald Trump appears to be totally losing it.

Be warned.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The regime has named the illegal, fascist occupation of New Orleans by ICE and CBP "Catahoula Crunch". Activists bought the domain name & it now directs people to local & national resources for those directly dealing with this daily terror.

Will this be a hurdle or complete roadblock to service? Will claims submitted a 2nd time get human review? Either way health care will get more complicated for us seniors, just as it will for folks who need Medicaid, live in rural areas or rely on the insurance marketplaces. Trump hurts us all.

I used to think Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly's blunt, dry style wouldn't play well with an entertainment-addled American public. Now it seems like his fearless bluntness is the perfect antidote to push back against the overcooked rhetoric of Trump and Hegseth. They picked the wrong guy to attack.

Steve Witkoff has shown the world he will adopt Putin's talking points and concede the sovereignty of our Ukrainian allies if it means some of his billionaire buddies can get rich off Russia.

It's un-American and a total betrayal of our values. Witkoff needs to be fired.
Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine
The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

1/2 Trump's regime is terrified of losing its power, so GOP lawmakers are painting the millions of us who will protest Trump's bullying and anti-constitutional behavior on Saturday, October 18, as some kind of hateful antifa terrorists paid by George Soros to demonstrate their hatred of America.
Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers.

What a despicable little man who is lying through his teeth to try to incite violence against Americans who will be peacefully assembling to protest the Trump regime’s anti-democratic rule.
Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "
