Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:
- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats
Those are just factual statements.

This sane and thoughtful man will be deciding which vaccines your kids can get at the ACIP meeting tomorrow.
He is talking about Dr. Monarez, who today was unbreakable in the face of verbal abuse from Mullin.
Malone cannot understand how a woman could be so steely calm, so the CIA is his guess.

Today I received a letter informing me that I did not owe any money for my wife's hospice care - four years ago. It's not spam, it's an official letter. Well, I wasn't going to pay anything anyway, but what sort of business takes 4 years to settle it's accounts?

Where it starts is never where it starts. The news that DOJ is prioritizing denaturalizations, combined with very vague explanations of who they will prioritize, is deeply concerning. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I don't know what this means, but I'm the one who wrote a fully updated, 624-page hurricane response plan at FEMA that took over 2 years of work and careful coordination among state and federal agencies. He could start by studying that.

The newly appointed head of FEMA acknowledged in private meetings that with two weeks to go until hurricane season, the agency doesn't yet have a fully formed disaster-response plan. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Don’t be fooled that Trump’s tariffs are just incompetence. It’s about power, just like the Exec orders issued to law firms and higher ed. He is counting on corporate America to come to him on bended knee asking for exceptions & giving loyalty in return. He doesn’t give a damn about the economy.

Sorry but protesting DOGE at Tesla dealers will NOT save Social Security. Screaming directly at GOP reps is the way. And I get it: with so many horrors in play (tariffs raising prices, US diplomacy in ruins), people are overwhelmed. But this is something even GOP reps get - IF THEY HEAR FROM VOTERS.
Please read this whole fucking article to your maga moron relatives.
Social Security has never missed a payment. DOGE actions threaten 'interruption of benefits,' ex-agency head says
New changes at the U.S. Social Security Administration may put its ability to deliver monthly benefit checks at risk, former agency head says.
