So Trump imposes blanket tariffs, and only when a CEO pays him $5 million will he offer a carveout. Anyone who thinks he’s “draining the swamp” is either complicit or a fool.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, the White House, the Supreme Court, a majority of appellate courts, and every federal agency.

And Roxane is blaming Democrats for planes falling out of the sky.
In addition to everything else that needs to be dealt with, are the Democrats going to do anything about the planes crashing or are we just gonna ride this additional crisis to the end of the line?

Donald Trump is giving Ukraine as a gift to Vladimir Putin, there’s an immigrant concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay, and a lot of y’all are still debating whether the election was stolen through [insert meaningless tech jargon here].

"Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm."

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself

Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃
