Tim Walz and other democrats should claim that Trump’s growing dementia is causing him to verbally attack female reporters. Make the media debate whether it is Alzheimer’s or whether Trump is just an asshole.
The other reporters in the White House press corps are apparently waiting until the president actually takes a swing at one of their female colleagues before they say anything

Trump announces a peace deal. The mainstream US press reports it as if it's real. Meanwhile...
"Last Thursday, under the eyes of Donald Trump, the DRC and Rwanda pledged peace to each other. Yet, on the ground, the clashes continue, and are even intensifying."

Jeudi dernier, sous les yeux de Donald Trump, Kinshasa et Kigali se promettaient la paix. Pourtant, sur place, les affrontements se poursuivent, voire s’intensifient.
En RDC, le M23 progresse et les combats s’intensifient en dépit de l’accord Kinshasa-Kigali
En une semaine, le groupe armé anti-gouvernemental est arrivé à la frontière avec le Burundi, qui craint un embrasement régional du conflit.

Your fellow reporter just got blasted on national TV by the president of the United States as "obnoxious" and "terrible" -- and you follow it up with a crappy question about the midterms, which are 11 months away.
You might want to think about another line of work. You aren't cut out for this.

Yet, half politicians will not listen to Americans! Only Trump! Vote them all out!
More Americans approve of the Affordable Care Act than at any point since it took effect more than a decade ago, per a new Gallup survey.
GOP says they’ve got a better healthcare plan.
Where is it?
What are the details?
How is it better?
Put up or shut up.

They don’t call ‘em vulture capitalists for nothing.
Last month, Denny's was bought out by private equity in a $620 million deal.
Now the company is closing 150 locations.
It's the latest chain to be swallowed by private equity and see numerous workers lose their jobs.

The delta between what Biden did and how much anger he got for it and the absolute crickets Trump has gotten for making the student loan landscape *magnitudes worse than it was before* is absolutely one of the most enraging things about this entirely enraging era.
Congrats again to the people who continuously said Biden did nothing about student loans for four years! www.cnbc.com/2025/12/09/s...
Trump officials move to end student loan payment pause for millions of borrowers
The Trump administration announced a proposed joint settlement with Missouri that would soon force millions of student loan borrowers into repayment.

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.
The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!
