When Noem returns to DC from her three hour tour/photo op and tells Trump that the Governor of Oregon and the Mayor of Portland are covering up terrorist activity (similar to assertions that Portland police are colluding with Antifa), it’s like the upside down of Stranger Things has come to life.
"does the president know what is real and what is not" is a legitimate question that should probably get asked a lot more

I frequently call the GOP a “lie-based” political party. The lie changes minute to minute. But the lying is utterly, dreadfully consistent.

DOGE was a failure because its entire premise was flawed, and, on top of that, the people who ran and implemented it were both arrogant and ignorant.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

1/ 🧵 RFK Jr. recently claimed that "none of the vaccines on the CDC’s childhood recommended schedule were tested against an inert #placebo." This isn't true, but the issue is more nuanced than a soundbite allows. Let's break it down. 👇
