What a crock
Despicable.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

MbS had Kashoghi murdered.
The sight of Mohammed bin Salman sitting in the Oval Office should make all Americans want to vomit. It sure does for me.

Nathan Boy in Orlando opened his renewal letter & saw his premium jump from $28 dollars to $733. A 2,518 percent increase. He has diabetes & works full time. Millions are next. This crisis was created by GOP policy choices. It did not happen by accident. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

What a doofus
This is the stupidest person ever to be allowed into the Oval Office. “Nobody knows what a magnet is.”

He had his time. It should have been a younger, progressive candidate.
I am THRILLED that Sherrod Brown is running for Ohio U.S. Senator. He NEVER should have been voted out. Both him and Senator Bob Casey being voted out NEVER made sense to me. BUT, Ohioans can make it right in 2026 by voting for Senator Brown! He is TRULY one of Social Security's GREATEST Champions!💙

BS. Mere justifying his capitulation.
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

Terrible move.
How does the US have any jurisdiction over a cemetery in another country even if it is an American cemetery...

New Mexico is not a red state.
The highest poverty rates are in the South. Coincidentally, that’s where most MAGATS live. Guess who’s getting hit the hardest by the party of Lie & Deny⁉️

What an uncaring order. Literally in favor of starving people.
I think the appropriate response from states is, “Your request violates federal and state laws. If you want it, come and get it, or bring suit to recover the funds. In the meantime, at least we help the citizens we are obliged to help & we actually pay our civil servants for the hard work they do.”
The US Department of Agriculture has ordered that "states must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025".

TACO administration wants to starve us.
We have long possessed the ability to have everyone fed, clothed and housed and have chosen not to do so. Now, this regime demands the power to commit more aggravated impoverishment.

Spot on
Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.
Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Trump lacks empathy.
Breaking News from CNN: A federal judge issued an order that the Regime must fully pay SNAP BENEFITS by tomorrow, Friday, because of a Convicted FElon's comment on Truth Social. The Regime stated that they will appeal the decision.
The Regime has only paid 50% of SNAP BENEFITS.

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

It was a rejection of TACO tactics and failure to protect the people of the country. They realized that they are being conned.
Explain all the seats that flipped R to D. I'll wait while you try to cope even harder, dear.
