Was Mike Johnson and House Republican leadership trying to double participation in No Kings on Saturday or did they just stumble and bumble their way into doing that?

Trump’s everlasting peace in the Middle East held for 24 hours, so now he has to defend Hamas killing people to keep his Nobel Prize hopes alive.

I can’t wait to find out if the deal Trump gave to the Hamas leaders was as good as the one he gave to the Taliban.

I’ve been thinking about it all day and I still haven’t figured out how the Trump family saved God. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

When people show you who they are, believe them.

And of course JD Vance refused to condemn this.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

Naturally, the only prominent Republican to address the vile comments from the Young Republicans while refusing to condemn them was JD Vance.

But that’s only because Ron Desantis hasn’t weighed in yet.

It looks like every media company in American that covers the Pentagon except OAN is refusing to sign Hegseth’s ultimatum.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

It is a disgrace that Fox continues to put them on constantly day after day to spew their propaganda to their friends when Hegseth & Wilson are afraid to face real press and are obviously in the process of covering a lot up that they don’t want the American people to know.

Today, Mike Johnson will continue to keep the House adjourned for the 71st day out of the last 83, with Republicans refusing to show up to work again to avoid having to vote on the Epstein files or negotiate with Democrats.

Appearance is his main priority.

Perhaps those photos from Epstein's safe that show him with half-naked underage girls are of better quality than Time's.

Meanwhile, country enters day #14 of the government shutdown...

Which Republican genius came up with the talking point to label millions of ordinary Americans peacefully protesting their government as paid Marxists who hate America?

That’s really what you are going with?

That we hate the United States of America?

Fuck you.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

It's naïve to believe a ceasefire ends the war in Gaza. It only pauses the violence while the causes, grievances, and power struggles remain unresolved.
