I never made a conscious choice but I realize I'm migrating over here from Threads. Professional, living in New York City. Liberal. Love to travel and hoping I still can given the international pariah we're likely about to become.

To lose such an American icon, and such a beautiful soul, NOW, is almost unbearable.

Do over DOJ.
Try and try again.

Answer: Yes.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

Invoking the Insurrection Act will be to admit "I can't govern."

How is it that there is no one who can say, "hey, you know that was YOUR FBI, right?"

Biden wasn’t president on January 6, 2021. Trump was. This monster is nothing but one boiling stew of hate, grievance, insecurity and vengeance. None of it is tethered to reality at this point.

Remember: When he inevitably invokes the Insurrection Act because he's butt-hurt about some bullshit, it will be the ultimate admission of his complete failure to govern.

Maybe it's just on top of every other American horror but losing Diane Keaton feels like a lot to me.

You can choose almost any of her many roles and it's impossible to imagine anyone else ever playing them - because there'a a piece of Diane Keaton in all of them. RIP.

I always hated that Sybil dies in The Family Stone - because I love Diane Keaton. And here we are. A very sad day.

Vance: I’m sure that in the course of his life he has been paid more than $50,000 for services. The question is did he do something illegal.

Stephanopoulos: I’m asking if Homan accepted the $50,000

Vance: Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? Low income women can’t get food

The thing we have to ask is, was that post just another one of Trump's many frantic lies? Or does he actually not know that he was the President of the United States on January 6th, 2021?

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

If your line of defence is "Pam" - good fucking luck you scumbag fascist pig.

We have Russ Vought on video bragging about "traumatizing" the federal workforce. Are we really attempting a wholly gaslit debate about what's happening here? Find me the Democrat who thinks "traumatizing" the Federal workforce is good idea. Go ahead. I'm waiting.

Does MAGA Mike Johnson understand how much deeper he digs his own hole everytime he opens his mouth? Now, I don't really care about how deep Mike Johnson's hole is, but Peter Thier probably does.

Donald Trump is physically similar to Patrick Mahomes? I mean, I can't even process the absurdity of this egotistical attempt.
