Does anyone seriously believe that the hostages in Gaza — those that are still alive — are not also starving? What is wrong with the Netanyahu government?

This seems fake to me.
Yes, getting off on watching YouTube clips of immigrants at their court hearings grabbed by ICE is twisted & cruel. But the cruelty is the point. The entire Republican Party base gets off on this cruelty. Nancy Mace is running for Governor in SC. She knows who she’s talking to.

Hegseth, sure. But the other two he can’t touch—they’re elected, not appointed.
Next in line: Hegseth, Vance and Johnson. It's a matter of time. No one survives once they are captured by Trump. He destroys everyone he touches.

Please explain why Medicare gets cut even though it isn’t mentioned by name. Hi don’t care how wonky the explanation is. We can follow it!
16/Dem Brendan Boyle: about 14 mil Americans will lose health care. Non partisan CBO says it will bring a $500 million cut to medicare, which serves older Americans. Why, he asks? To subsidize cuts for the top 1%. The bottom 10% of Americans will be poorer. And, the bill isn't entirely paid for.

Just listened to the Hur interview tape
and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

Pete Hegseth has probably confused national security with social security and decided we don’t need it.

Remember this date. It may be the day when one of the three branches of government openly and brazenly ignored an edict of another and the rule of law ceased to apply in the United States.

What do Trump voters think of the disgraceful performance of our President and Vice President in the Oval Office today? Are they OK with it ? I’d love to see a poll.

Five 8 percent reductions don’t add up to 40 percent, just one third. Fun math fact.
Don’t worry, General, we will form an alliance with Russia. A tremendous alliance, one like no one has ever seen. We will defeat all the woke countries, and people will say to Trump, in tears, “Sir, you are the greatest allier in the history of the world!”
Hegseth orders military to draw up plans for 40% total budget cuts over the next fives years, 8% per year. Exponentially worse than sequestration that crippled the military in 2011. wapo.st/4hHV3Yt
