A lot of Republican Members of Congress are in a total bubble.

Right-wing media can paint a rosy picture of our economy, sure.

But reality is gonna come crashing down on Republicans when their constituents see their premiums more than double, or even quadruple.

THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT

Fox News has convinced my GOP friends that “Antifa” is a real & lawless organization, similar to the KKK, that burns cities & attacks citizens/police. I pointed out to one friend that her father, who fought fascists/fascism in WWII, was obviously anti-fascist (antifa); she was completely confused.

Little man Johnson does not need ONE democratic vote to pass a standalone bill to pay our military.

These are disgusting, despicable, human beings.

I applaud everyone who is showing up & speaking out against Trump. Our national cemetery is filled with Americans who fought against Fascism in two World Wars and other conflicts. Let’s not sit quietly on the sidelines while our country is dismantled by billionaires & corrupt politicians.

My point is that we’re talking about a very small group of individuals who want to find a way to participate in sports; with patience, I think solutions can be found to allow them to compete in a way that the majority of people believe is fair.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Trump has more felony convictions than the NCAA has transgender athletes, just for perspective.

More than three dozen federal judges have told The New York Times that the Supreme Court’s flurry of brief, opaque emergency orders in cases related to the Trump administration have left them confused about how to proceed in those matters and are hurting the judiciary’s image with the public.

Federal Judges, Warning of ‘Judicial Crisis,’ Fault Supreme Court’s Emergency Orders

Dozens of sitting judges shared with The Times their concerns about risks to the courts’ legitimacy as the Supreme Court releases opaque orders about Trump administration policies.
