This isn’t gaffe level incompetence; it’s a fundamental inability to distinguish aggressor from victim.
No country should ever be represented like this.

Elon Musk should be personally compelled to account for every federal dollar, and every byte of data, it took out of the many programs DOGE touched inappropriately.

Where’s all that money DOGE liberated?
If you’ve spent years backing policies that cut aid, hollow institutions, and concentrate power upward, maybe sit this one out instead of pretending to care about lives at stake.👇

Not so. A tragedy is something bad that simply happens to people. What is happening to the Epstein victims is, and always has been, criminal. There’s a difference.
The Epstein saga is just so terrible for the victims. It really is tragic!

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right:
Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection.
America’s unions will keep fighting for them.

Q:Mr. President, who is your favorite superhero?

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.
If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

If building the big gaudy ballroom were actually a national security matter, then why is it funded by people who want to curry influence with this corrupt president? Last I checked, the US takes care of national security matters within our framework of laws, rather than graft-filled patronage.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a term, made up by weak people, to describe the phenomenon that most people simply don't trust criminals and inveterate liars.
Trump Distrust Syndrome is real though. I have an acute case of it too. Mainly because he has never once given me reason to trust him.
