Someone on X pointed out the scant coverage of Ron Johnson saying 9/11 was an inside job. The press assumes Republicans are crazy and malevolent, so when they say crazy stuff it doesn't get covered. But they assume Dems are competent & sane, so any data point to the contrary is treated as big news.

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind.

And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.

If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

1. The DOGE website is garbage.

The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided.

And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract.

So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

New tool reveals Musk has overstated verified DOGE savings by at least 92%

Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits.

When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Every single politician in America, especially Republican could learn a lesson about not cravenly debasing yourself like a pathetic meek coward. (There are other terms that come to mind.)

Sorry but I’m with @samsteindc.bsky.social. This isn’t “in response” to the Oval meeting. They had all of this pre-planned and ready to roll out.

Trump and Vance instigated the Oval confrontation to justify it.

I am old enough to remember when the majority of Republicans in the Senate and House gave President Zelenskyy a standing ovation. What will they do now that our Outlaw Prez and his deputy have given the Ukrainian leader a double dose of their middle fingers?

SICKENING: House GOP blocked Rep. Brittany Pettersen from voting remotely on maternity leave. So she showed up—baby in hand—and torched them:

“How can anyone show their faces in their district after voting YES for this?”

The GOP has no shame.

Good morning.

The House voted yesterday to kick millions of off their health care, close rural hospitals, and shut down addiction clinics.

All in order to afford a giant tax cut for Elon Musk, Donald Trump and their billionaire and corporate friends.
