Can you imagine the uproar if Biden had said ,”I may be in heaven right now…”? They’d have invoked the 25th in two secs.

It’s always fun to watch when someone’s lies come around and smack them. I so wish a reporter would ask this exact question. Which is it, Mr President?

Another day of House Republicans refusing to show up for work to avoid a vote on the Epstein files. 3 weeks paid vacation and counting.

I agree! No one but the ticket holder should be able to cancel tickets unless there was an actual warrant for his arrest. Was there?

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

I’ve had it with the “Antifa are terrorists” crap. Most of us can look back one or two generations in our families and find US veterans who fought (and died) fighting, you guessed it, fascists. We all should be against fascism wherever it is, even here. #WWIIvets

PS. Not one of the doctors said he’s almost never seen a perfect score. Trump lies about anything: big, small, important or ridiculous.

How nice that they’re asking! I’d say to ask their kid to talk about what they’re learning, what is most interesting to them, what “we all” should know about physics, etc. My son loved physics in HS, and now has a PhD in astrophysics. We so enjoyed hearing what he liked about class.

The health care tax credit is a big deal. Without it:

4 million people lose their health insurance

Premiums double for more than 20 million Americans

One example: An older couple making $85K could see their premiums skyrocket to $25K per year—almost 30% of their income.

Penelope Hegseth did backtrack, saying that he’d changed. But like all train wrecks, Pete left plenty of ripped up track behind him—and he thinks if he doesn’t look at it, it’s not there. He’s a damaged, dangerous petty little man.

Linda Russell @lindamtka.bsky.social · 8d

This is awful. Glad it’s recorded. I hope that guy isn’t too badly hurt.

Linda Russell @lindamtka.bsky.social · 8d

Huh, three years ago when BIDEN was president. I’m sure Pete has called to thank him.

And they think this horrific behavior will improve their international reputation? Eradicate antisemitism?

Done! I hope this clears up soon. Sorry this student has to deal with crap like this. Thank you for using your platform for good.

If Joe Biden’s “spiritual advisor” had pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12 year old girl, Fox would be playing that shit on a loop 24/7.

Good, good, good! I’ve sat on a federal grand jury. It’s a serious job. Thank you, panels which have repudiated baseless claims. You have carried out your job.

With ACA tax credits, a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 pays ~$7,000 for their annual premium.

Without ACA tax credits, the same couple could be forced to pay nearly $30,000.

I know Republicans only speak "billionaire"—but middle-class families can't afford this.
