Trump Take Last Breath
Credit where it’s due. But I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this new framing comes out after a Democratic wave election, the ascendance (and surprisingly broad acceptance) of Mamdani, and his steadily crashing poll numbers.

Trump, Musk, and the GOP killed hundreds of thousands of kids around the world.

That should be a major story and talking point.

They cut USAID to "save" from "waste," but gave 40 billion to Argentina and threw a Great Gatsby party and let Kash Patel burn our money for his honeypot GF.

Putin always wanted a peace deal, huh? Is that before or after he invaded?
This is really wild stuff tbh

It is interesting that both the U.S. and Russia have explicit policies to separate disfavored parents from their children.
This is happening because of Trump & Vance

Don’t the Brits have more important things to think about than transgender issues? Like perhaps their sputtering economy?

And to be straight you have to not have a girlfriend? Not be married? Not be into women? I don’t understand.

“After Aceituno again told the agents he was a U.S. citizen, they finally threw him out of the van…[And] the agents had taken his car keys.

(Aceituno voted for Trump in 2024 because of the border and the economy. He now calls it ‘the worst decision of my life.’)”

People have mocked the phrase Everything Trump Touches Dies, but it’s possible the arc is just a lot longer than people expected.
Two things:

1. This is possible, but things haven't gotten even close to as bad as they likely will, and the Epstein issue is also far from closed. Trump could drag the GOP into the dark ages.

2. Even a tie or a narrow red majority among white voters would be an extinction event for the GOP.
I doubt very much that the white vote will be majority Dem. I think this is people saying they’re mad in a poll, but many of them will still vote GOP. That said, this is definitely not a good sign for the GOP.

Lot of replies arguing that Putin or Netanyahu is worse. I don’t think so. Both of those men are monsters, but at least they both believe, in their own ways, in a national project for their countries that enriched (some) lives.

Trump doesn’t believe in anything but himself, truly, pathologically.

100% this. In y he recent conversation with Ezra Klein, John Ganz said the same thing. It’s a calculated attempt to lure in leftists upset at Israel into their coalition.
I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

So the plan is to add an additional step in our interactions with insurers, but this time without group pricing power?
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

They want to be treated like little piggies.
…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues?

Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened!
