Donald Trump is senile. The project 2025 people are running the show and Trump is golfing and signing executive orders and staying out of prison. That's it. He can't even speak coherently anymore.

Yah so these numbers are literally impossible and a lot of us personally know legal immigrants hired in 2025.
Kinda nuts for a government agency to claim no one on a work permit such as a H1-B visa has been hired into a new job year.
Next NASA will issue a press release about the cow that jumped over the moon.

Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to pull off one of the biggest heists in U.S. history.
The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is robbery, plain and simple.
And it’s being committed by the billionaire class and the politicians they put into office.

the pivot from “we’re not cutting medicaid” to “come on look at these lazy bastards” sure was speedy
Markwayne Mullin: "There are 35 million people that live below the poverty line inside the US. There are over 70 million people signed up for Medicaid. Now you're gonna tell me there's not room to make cuts?"

Miami officials voted to cancel November's elections & move city elections to even-number years. That by itself would be good due to higher turnout, but unilaterally extending their own terms is a power grab.
State officials argue it's illegal since changing the city charter requires voter approval

BREAKING: With less than five months to go before Miami residents were scheduled to head to the polls to vote on a new mayor and city commissioners, the city of Miami has postponed the upcoming November election to 2026 in a move that critics have described as a “power grab.”
It’s official: Miami cancels November election, postpones it to 2026
The change gives the city commissioners and the mayor an extra year in office.

Within minutes of the attack on Jewish demonstrators in Boulder the FBI and HLS declared it a terrorist attack and rolled in. It's been 8 hours since the targeted assassinations of Democratic legislators in MN and Bongino says they're "assisting local partners." Silence from Trump. We see you.

Republicans BURIED a line in their "big beautiful bill" that would help Trump officials ignore court orders.
One problem? It violates the Senate's rules.
I’m going to fight to strip this provision out. And we need everyone in the fight against this bill.
