Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.
Reporter: Was it your brain?
Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

Even worse when you find out Middlebury College had another death of a trans student in 2023, then hosted an anti-trans talk last winter, before kicking Lia off of both her teams this fall.

He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time.
Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles.

Ashli Babbitt was a traitor. It’s sad she was led down that path by Trump, but she died a traitor, and if the USA is still here in another 250 years, she’ll still be a traitor. Honoring her treason dishonors every man and woman who ever wore the uniform and insults every single loyal American.

Republicans have time to pettily paint over a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting because they can’t hate gay people enough, but they can’t be bothered to stop school shootings because they don’t love children enough.

Opinion | Florida painting over this LGBTQ memorial is a grievous offense
The memorial outside the nightclub was put in place as a vital testament to the strength, resilience and love of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.

The Big Ten Rises Up
Against Trump
The press acts as if “higher education” = Harvard. But a more interesting and gutsier stand is being taken in the heartland by schools that have a lot more going for them than football.

An American president told a city of 10 million people to evacuate it immediately as he urgently leaves the G7 to fly to DC and then … nothing.
But people still treat him as if he isn’t insane and a threat to everyone.
Oh, and Biden was old.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

I've covered Van Hollen since circa 1999. He's actually not a "grandstander." In his first Congressional bid, he was the workhorse vs the showhorse. He out-hustled Mark Shriver who had far more money and had been on the cover of Time Magazine as a next-gen Kennedy. He won with an army of volunteers.
