Donald Trump spent last night having some bizarre social media fever dream. It’s long past time for the president's mental fitness to be a sustained front-page story. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
It’s time to talk about Donald Trump’s health (again)
The most consequential topic in the world is the simple question: Is the President mentally fit to serve?

@eggerdc.bsky.social breaks down a stunning moment: Trump sitting beside Saudi Crown Prince MBS—the man U.S. intel believes ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s murder—and getting angrier at an American reporter asking a legitimate question than at the autocrat who used a bone saw on a journalist.

The deal to reopen the government didn't include ACA subsidies but it included giving Lindsey Graham the right to sue the government (read taxpayers) for $500,000. Graham opposed the subsidies & plans to sue for that $500k. Classic Lindsey Graham. SC can do better with @drannieandrews.com

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

She wants an order from the First Circuit upholding the trial court. That would give the liberal minority a foothold to argue the Supreme Court should do so as well. a strategic stay to increase chance of restarting SNAP benefits.
