RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."
Sorry Brainworm, I’m not reversing the vasectomy because you’re worried that not enough white people are being born in the US.

Whatever Witkoff’s number was, he’s earning every penny from the russians.
Is there an amount of wealth you can acquire that helps you sleep better at night when, as a specially appointed official representing the US, you side with and embrace a murderous dictator like Putin? Does material wealth make Witkoff feel good about that? How much does it take?

In Trump’s America, when the president wants something done, he sends in the most unqualified people— and they invariably f—- it up.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

⚡️ A top Russian lawmaker is blasting the US 28-point peace plan as a “provocation” and a threat to Moscow.
State Duma deputy Alexei Zhuravlyov says only Ukraine’s full capitulation can end the war and claims Washington wants to keep Kyiv as a long-term threat to Russia.

These dopes’ revisionist history is incredible. “The president signed the bill.”
The president who called it a hoax… whose DOJ redacted all mentions of his name, for starters… and from the party with the House Speaker who closed the house for the better part of three months to avoid a vote. Wow.

OUTSTANDING 🧵 on why the latest Ukraine “peace plan” is hot garbage— and why Witkof has no place as an envoy.
Some notable things in what's being called the "Trump peace plan" but which could not have been more clearly written in Moscow if it came with a 2 for 1 deal on tickets to the Bolshoi Ballet. 🧵

Trump hasn’t even fostered peace here in the U.S. What possible justification does Vance have to insist Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize… much less be called a humanitarian?
JD Vance: "He's fundamentally a humanitarian, and we've got 8 peace deals at this point. We're working on number 9 and number 10. And I think if he gets number 10, purely for mathematical harmony the Nobel Prize should be awarded to Donald J Trump."

Unfortunately, as long as he’s terrorizing immigrants and vilifying trans folks, that’s good enough for his base.
Trump is absolutely cratering on economy in new Marquette poll:
Overall econ approval: 36-64
On tariffs: 37-63
On inflation/cost of living: 28-72 (!!!)

One of two things happens next, and the second is more likely:
1. The deal is untenable and the backlash is overwhelming, so it falls apart.
2. russia reneges in some way (or ways) and it falls apart.

Ukraine is now in a position where it would have to accept a deal to end the war, no matter the terms. According to Politico, citing White House sources, the Trump team agreed on a plan with Moscow without involving Ukraine or Europe.

Just in case you, too, were wondering how the MAGA types juxtapose their Christian faith with their views and actions, they don’t.
Here they are, striking out against no less than **Pope Leo** for opposing what they’re doing.

The U.S. bishops defended migrant families. Tom Homan snapped. Nan Hayworth called Pope Leo a “tool of our enemies.” Tim Burchett accused the church of getting rich off of sex trafficking.
Matt Walsh, Lara Logan, and the rest joined in. This is what MAGA anti-Catholicism looks like.

“Pope Leo Is a Tool of Our Enemies”: Homan Leads MAGA Attacks as Hayworth, Others Pile On
It’s the latest MAGA attack on Pope Leo’s pro-immigrant stance. Disgraced border chief Tom Homan — caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava takeout bag — led the charge against Leo and the bishops.

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms:
✅He personally directs criminal investigations.
✅He is targeting opponents.
✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents.
Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

Do political science profs have to explain to their students that, for most of American history, it was actually borderline unthinkable that elected officials and their spokespersons would constantly talk like trashy reality show contestants?
After calling Schumer a "Palestinian," Leavitt refers to "Gavin Newscum." So she's just ripping off her boss's smears now.
