Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

I don’t understand how legal obligations do not apply to the president, any executive branch officials, or the Kennedy Center, but the strictest reading applies to performing artists.

So very “Christian” to bomb another country on Christmas Day. This is the same guy who has practically begged for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The United States does not have a president; it has a demented, deranged dictator.

He’s blocking the Epstein files from being released unredacted. And Jack Smith’s testimony from being released. Because he wants Americans to hear his lies instead of seeing the truth for themselves.

The man who ran on a platform of "America First" and promised no involvement in foreign wars is now launching wars of choice in Nigeria, Venezuela, Syria, and Lebanon.

Meanwhile, he is verbally attacking our oldest and closest allies.

Christmas morning
String of updates saying Donald Trump just posted on Truth Social. Barack Obama posts "Merry Christmas! Michele and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy." There's a photo of Barack and Michele Obama standing next to each other.

I hope it's clear to everyone by now that Trump's play over and over again is to yell "National Security!" and pretend as though that gives him the right to act like a dictator
The Failing New York Times, and their lies and purposeful misrepresentations, is a serious threat to the National Security of our Nation. Their Radical Left, Unhinged Behavior, writing FAKE Articles and Opinions in a never ending way, must be dealt with and stopped. THEY ARE A TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! Thank you for you attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DJT

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

The Justice Department gets out its black highlighter; the Pulitzer board wants Trump's tax returns and medical records; Sam Bankman-Fried is not a good lawyer.

So they released names and pictures of the VICTIMS while redacting the names of the men, who they see as the true victims of this all.

LOL they redacted the files so ineptly that you can basically read them with a little effort? Please let this be true.

I love how Pam Bondi and the MAGA DOJ openly, shamelessly, and maliciously go after Trump's enemies, but Merrick Garland sat paralyzed for four years, terrified that prosecuting Trump for literally treasonable offenses would violate norms, precedent, and decorum. He must be so proud.

It's quaint to talk about inflation reports and surprising softness on the margins when in 13 days the out-of-pocket cost of health insurance is going to rise for 26 million households by an average of 75%

First it was "we have to blow up dozens of people on boats because of fetnanyl." But obviously it wasn't fentanyl being trafficked so then: narco terrorists are shipping cocaine! But then Wiles tells a reporter it's all about regime change and today it's bc US oil companies got kicked out in 2007?

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor? I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”
