Listen, this administration isn’t “making America great.” It’s targeting our neighbors, tearing families apart, and putting lives on the line. Democrats on Oversight are standing up because this fight isn’t about left or right. It’s about right and wrong. Period.

It's backfired so spectacularly that now *they're* the ones being investigated.

Over and over, the mainstream press reports that Trump has secured a “trade deal” with a foreign country and every single time he’s just making it up.

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.

oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

As the Christian Right is completely silent! They whine about Christian persecution when someone says “Happy Holidays” but they are happy to stay silent when a Republican president sends a pastor to his death. Because the Christian Right believes America and Christianity are only for white people.

I’m a hospice chaplain, but I work mostly with older patients at the end of their natural lives. I’ve never worked a pediatric case but can only imagine the depth of soul it must take to walk with those kids and families over and over again. That kind of strength and compassion is something not one
