What’s your take on Swalwell’s recent tweet regarding there being an "Epstein bomb" about to drop, leading to what he calls a "jail break" of more than 100 Republicans who will turn against trumpty dumpy?

Is there anything about this administration that isn’t fishy?

I think the administration will try to agitate, but it’s important that we make these protests 1. HUGE and 2. Peaceful

I’ve been hearing the same thing from Republicans behind the scenes, but they’ve also been telling reporters that they’re going to put their foot down when Trump does ____ and then they promptly fold.

I’ll have to see it to believe it.

He may have had a terrible life, but we all shouldn't have to pay for it. It isn't going to get any better despite what he thinks he can do.

I don’t just get a “sense” that there are meetings amongst the GOP. They all hype each other up behind the scenes (and leak to reporters about how they’re going to stand up to Trump), and then they fold like lawn chairs

I think if Vance takes over, he’s going to have a MUCH tougher time than Trump

It does, but Hegseth is claiming he misspoke. He issued a clarification that it will just be a joint training base (similar to how we do with Singapore and NATO nations) that’s fully under US control.

Not sure why he announced it as a literal Qatari air base, other than he’s a complete dunce.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

The case against Comey is beyond weak. The case against James is worse. It is based on a lie, and they know they're lying because exculpatory evidence that contradicts the indictment had already been presented to a grand jury in another jurisdiction. Everyone involved with this needs to be disbarred
