Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

Trump: “When we're ready, we'll go in and we'll straighten out Chicago just like we did D.C.…We've already had calls from other cities, quiet calls, calls from Democrats. ‘We'd love you to come here,’ because they've lost control of their cities.”

The GOP budget framework is more incendiary than a cybertruck & will soon be even more reviled.
The backlash to Felon Trump's presidency has begun, but this unimaginably cruel budget is how we're going to kick it into overdrive.

It was the job of senate republicans to remove & disqualify this lunatic after January 6 and they chickened out.
It was Garland's job to put him in jail for doing crimes in broad daylight, and he dragged his feet.
It was SCOTUS' job to disqualify him under the 14A, and they hid under their desks.

there are so many absurd quotes from Collins over the years. This one, though:
“Mr. Vought’s lack of respect and apparent lack of understanding of how Congress operates is baffling, because he’s served in government before,” Collins told NBC News.
“Mr. Vought’s lack of respect and apparent lack of understanding of how Congress operates is baffling, because he’s served in government before,” Collins told NBC News.
“We don’t have an appropriations process. It’s broken. It’s been broken for a while,” said Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., who sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee.
He predicted that there will be CRs and rescission packages for the next four years.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Wow. Puck reports that Susan Collins pulled her amendment to make rescissions smaller after MAGA Senators pressured her, not Democrats like she claimed.
Embarrassing but par for the course.

As part of Trump's illegal push to dismantle the Department of Education, his Administration has gutted the Office for Civil Rights.

Major media seem flummoxed about what to do when Trump shares a fake video of Obama getting arrested. Maybe they think the options are A) take the bait, or B) ignore it. But there's a 3rd option: Gather all the crazy examples and write big, loud stories about how the president is mentally unhinged.
