I will repeat this every single day for the next three years: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing and any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.
He's not all powerful.
A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.
Remember this.

"The President is extremely frustrated with both sides of this war"
Sorry that Ukraine rudely got invaded, and now rudely are refusing to capitulate to all the invader's demands.
30 hours of talks sounds like such hardship for you.

Q: If DOJ doesn't release the files it has by next Friday, is there anything Congress can do to compel that to happen?
MASSIE: It's a crime if they don't. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don't follow it.

Calling people “illegals” doesn’t mean you care about the law. It means you’ve decided someone’s existence makes them unworthy of rights.
No person is illegal - you are using that term to dehumanize people.

In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked.
They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them.
They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.
