Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

how far will Republicans go to mask wrongdoing w/false equivalence?

Democratic Rep. Dean to Speaker Johnson: "(Trump) is unwell."

Johnson: "A lot of folks on your side are, too."

There is no “your side” equivalent to a mentally disturbed president.

who/what is filling his head with this bullshit?

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

PRITZKER: "I genuinely think there is something wrong with him. I wish that his family would intervene, because I do think he needs mental health help."

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Remembering when Chris Rufo insisted that Disney was a thoroughly corrupt institution because it had a small number of employees arrested on CSAM and sex trafficking charges and I replied, well, let's use that standard for Republicans, and he blocked me before I could finish the thread.

Having done research there, I can’t say enough about the professionalism and competency of the staff at the Eisenhower Library and Museum. The fact that a staff member would be fired for doing their job with integrity is outrageous.

Former racecar driver Danica Patrick slams Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl 2026 halftime headliner:

“No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America’s highest rated television events of the year… not just for sports.”
