This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races.

This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape.

But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused."

More questions than answers. We can't rush his vote and trust him with our national security.

Last night at dinner, my French colleague reminded me that during WWII, there were people who fought the Nazis (the French Resistance), those who collaborated with them (the Vichy regime), and those who did nothing. The ones who did nothing were tacitly supporting the collaborators.
One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

We're sacrificing American excellence for allegiance to a madman.

Hegseth shouldn’t even be a conversation.

Republicans – what the hell are you doing?

Once you award 🟠 his unqualified, but loyal Cabinet picks, you will surrender your own power-and integrity.

You will never get it back.

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

According to CNN sources are reporting that 🟠 may invite the January 6 convicts to the White House.

He makes a mockery of the Capitol Police, GOP, American people, Justice system and Office of the Presidency.

He is an embarrassment-The antithesis of America.

Shame on every person enabling him.
