The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

I'm convinced Nationalist Christians believe—without evidence—immigrants are here to rape, pillage,& steal, because deep down they know that's exactly what their European colonizer ancestors did to America's Indigenous Peoples
Nat-Cs must be a drive in movie theatre because their projection is wild

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes.
Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

More Senate Democrats folded to let Trump gut our healthcare than House Republicans folded to release the Epstein files.
This is example of why we can't have nice things.

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.
If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.
We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

The East Wing of the White House — which Trump is demolishing as though it belongs to him — is 70,000 square feet. A football field is 56,000 square feet. Trump’s palatial ballroom will occupy 90,000 square feet. Enough said.

The Young Republican chat leak isn’t about “kids telling jokes.” It’s about a culture that’s been decades in the making—from the Southern Strategy to Trump’s open embrace of white nationalism. J.D. Vance’s defense of it shows how far the party has fallen.

Given the incompetence of Trump as a real estate developer, I assume it won’t be done by 2028. What I do not assume is that it will actually be a ballroom.
Tell me a scenario in which Trump accepts that his completed ballroom is being used by a Democrat or a Republican he hates. This is, literally, a monument to permanence. It’s not the action of someone planning to leave.

UPDATE: Trump is set to demolish the entire East Wing of the White House, after of course promising the White House wouldn't be touched.
Here's the thing—he could demolish the ENTIRE White House, and I absolutely could see him doing so—and MAGA Republicans will cheer him on because It Is A Cult.

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit
A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.
