This is the perfect encapsulation of Republican/MAGAt behavior. Spew lies all day, every day, and do the exact opposite of everything you say. What a joke!

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

The evil filth with which he has surrounded himself are weaponizing his dementia, and he’s too stupid/gullible or mentally gone to realize it.

I’m not sure any other image more perfectly encapsulates this moment in history than this Portland man standing defiantly in front of ICE agents in a frog costume - confronting the cartoonish absurdity of this administration with zero deference.

This is our Tiananmen Square.

That is the point. To illustrate how ridiculous all of this is, and that none of the dire claims being made by the mentally ill people in positions of power are true.

Pathetic to see these politicians in robes twisting themselves into pretzels to try to "preserve the presidents, right" to federalize National Guard troops, when the only basis for that is extreme circumstances that are in no way present anywhere in this country. This panel was willfully blind.

Hakeem Jeffries on Mike Johnson getting upset at a press event today, banging the lectern, trying to blame Dems for troops not being paid amid the shutdown:

"I don't get why my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are getting emotional about their failed approach ... to governing."

If a Republican/MAGAt is criticizing anyone, it's nothing more than an admission of their own intent/beliefs/conduct. They have taken the playground game of "Yes-means-no" and turned it into the communications style of adults who never matured past the age of six.

Sister Jean was a role model in Illinois — inspiring us to embrace our neighbors.

As a lover of life, she taught us to channel positivity to keep us hopeful in times of need and kept that attitude all the way to a life well-lived at 106 years old.

May her memory be a blessing.

The exchange in the video is actually much, much more nuanced than the language of that post suggests. The response was still great in its implications, if not its explicit language.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.
