When Trump saw Mamdani, he didn't see a fellow politician; he saw a fellow charismatic celebrity.

Donald respects people who can get praise and attention, as he values those things far above politics.

WTF❓
also we now have a “whites only” refugee policy. they aren’t trying to hide the white supremacy anymore. it’s overt and mainstream.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

The national debt is higher.

The trade deficit is wider.

The inflation rate has worsened.

Epstein offered the NY Times photos of Trump with young girls in bikinis during his first campaign in 2015.

The NY Times declined them because they were just too busy hyperventilating over Hillary’s private email server.

Support independent media.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

Bessent: The $2,000 divided could come in in lots of forms. It could be just the tax decreases

Translation: You’re never getting those $2,000 checks.

Eight months ago, Rep. Sylvester Turner D-TX died. His seat in the U.S. House is still vacant. On Tuesday, two Dems advanced to a runoff for that Houston-area seat. When is the runoff?? We don't know.

That runoff date still must be set by Gov. Greg Abbott.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:

-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey

Shameful.

It’s been 44 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her congressional race.

Mike Johnson knows she’ll be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files so he’s done everything he can to prevent her from taking office.

Speaker Johnson, do your job and swear her in.

Over half of the corporations bankrolling Trump’s vanity ballroom are facing (or recently faced) federal investigations into wrongdoing — including violating workers’ rights or misleading consumers.

They also have a combined $279 BILLION in federal contracts.

Follow the money.

Speaker Johnson needs to stop being on vacation, admit that Americans need healthcare assistance, strike the draconian health cuts from the ugly budget bill, and get back to work so he can swear in Arizona's newly elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Things I Liked About Joe Biden:

He didn't put tacky bric-a-brac all over the Oval Office.

He didn't kidnap or torture.

He didn't accept bribes.

He didn't murder fishermen.

He didn't shake down the DOJ for $230 million.

He didn't destroy a wing of the White House.

He wasn't in Epstein's Files.
