For Republicans who proclaim to be die hard free market capitalists, they sure are manipulating the economy a lot.
Q: Some of your Republican colleagues have raised concerns about Trump opening up the market to Argentinian beef. What are you doing to help American beef farmers?

MIKE JOHNSON: We had some discussion on that yesterday. I don't know the latest developments.
Well that's an analogy in itself!
Curious about the mention of the cane William McKinley had when he was assassinated.

Well, the goddam commission should just let the debris smolder unchanged for the next 3-1/2 years. A destroyed White House is an apt metaphor for the lunatics who've taken it over. #NoFascistUSA
So Trump could bulldoze the whole thing, huh?

“That they’re so uptight about”

I’m guessing that if Cramer hadn’t been seated in his own office as U.S. Senator over a month after he was supposed to for no particular reason he’d have been a bit “uptight” about it as well.
Sen. Kevin Cramer on Mike Johnson: "It may be getting to be time for him to bring the House back into session, if for no other reason to start doing other legislation and perhaps to swear in the House member from Arizona that they're so uptight about."
He's never liked the White House when he first moved in 2017, he was overheard deriding it, calling it a "dump."

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Donald has a history of demolishing buildings. He's demolishing the East Wing of the White House right now because he is a tacky bastard with the most vulgar tastes. His casino below was demolished because he's an incompetent businessman with the most vulgar tastes.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
Friendly fire?

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”

Trump falsely claims that 50% of presidents have used the Insurrection Act. If he invokes it for partisan reasons, it would allow him and Pam Bondi to order the military to begin arrests. For safer cities, restore the $71.7 million DOGE cut from policing and prosecution programs!

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)
