Republicans built their 2026 strategy around demonizing Mamdani as a radical communist jihadist. One press conference later, Donald Trump blew up their entire game plan. A quick rant on yesterday’s wild meeting between Zohran and Trump.

Good fucking morning to everyone except convicted sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell—who is refusing to cooperate with the congressional investigation into the Epstein coverup. She’s clearly been promised a pardon by Trump’s DOJ and is covering for his ass. The corruption is unbelievable.

I continue to believe Marjorie Taylor Greene is completely and totally full of shit, but I'm genuinely surprised she's going to resign.

There’s some Republican operative right now who’s been making ads to demonize Zohran Mamdani in every battleground House race this election—just absolutely fuming at every video of Donald Trump falling in love with the guy. Funniest thing I’ve seen all week.

Spun up a rant on the MAGA outrage machine—how they screamed about rhetoric after Kirk’s murder but went silent when Trump threatened Democrats yesterday. This isn’t just hypocrisy—it’s a deliberate, dangerous double standard. If you’re still defending it, you’re part of the problem.

Find you somebody who looks at you like Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani.

It’s hilarious that every Republican operative has been frothing at the mouth to turn Zohran into a giant Democratic boogeyman, and Donald Trump’s in the Oval Office right now talking about how great he is and how he would love to live in New York under Mayor Mamdani. Just incredible shit.

Trump falling in love with Mamdani is the most predictable thing I've ever seen.

One short meeting with Zohran Mamdani, and Donald Trump is basically registering as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

A congressional resolution condemning socialism is a tremendous waste of time and exactly the kind of performative politics that people fucking hate. How about we actually legislate some solutions that help people put food on the table?

I know there’s a lot going on, but is anybody at the DOJ ever going to do anything about Matt Gaetz grooming a 17-year-old homeless girl—or are Republican allies of the president just completely immune to prosecution?

MAGA guys like Peter Navarro are so out of touch, they have no idea egg prices are still DOUBLE what they were this time last year.

This administration is obsessed with recreating the 1950s—except for the cheap goods and the ability for someone to buy a house and put their kids through college on a single income.
That explains Duffy focusing on wearing suits at the airport instead of addressing travel prices.

Sean Duffy's plan to improve air travel is focused on convincing you to dress nicer—not on reducing how damn expensive it is to buy an airline ticket.
Come on.

Good fucking morning to everyone—except the MAGA influencers who lectured Democrats after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, but had nothing to say yesterday when Donald Trump called for executing his political opponents. Every single one of you is a goddamn hypocrite.

So apparently the Coast Guard is no longer going to classify swastikas as hate symbols. These people are never going to beat the allegations...

Trump spent the whole morning saying Democratic politicians should be put to death. Where are all the MAGA influencers who lectured us about political rhetoric after Charlie Kirk's assassination? I don’t see any of them condemning this. Is it possible they were full of shit? Gasp!

White House is spinning the hell out of this jobs report, but even Fox News can't spin unemployment jumping to 4.4%.

Good fucking morning to everyone except Pam Bondi, who’s defying Congress to delay the Epstein files over the bullshit sham investigation Trump told her to cook up. We can’t rest until every file is out and these people are held accountable for their crimes.

If the White House were smart, it would sell tickets to Trump’s meeting with Zohran Mamdani. Could probably pay off the national debt with the revenue.

Lindsey Halligan is going to lose her law license, all so Donald Trump could fuck with Comey for a few weeks. What a disgrace.
