There’s only one story tonight - Trump is unwell and unfit. Everything else is just detail.
We are nearing the end of the Trump era.
OMG Trump is so gone. We are in a dangerous place.

The abomination of a speech that was given tonight makes clear that the Current Occupant of the White House is not well and nobody around him has the capability to tell him that and to prevent him from a truly public manic episode.

If the 25th amendment were triggered by any objective metric of presidential insanity or unfitness, Trump would have been launched out of the White House ten seconds into tonight’s speech. Or 11 months ago. Or daily since.

After that speech, I think it is more important than ever that we see a real medical report and learn what medications he is on

Trump didn’t exactly refute the “personality of an alcoholic” allegations tonight

So Trump is just giving away another $2.6 billion in taxpayer money for “bonuses” that was not appropriated for that purpose by our duly elected representatives in Congress, while we are $38 trillion in debt.

I've seen enough clips. That speech is proof we are in a national emergency. The guy with the nuke codes is stark raving mad.

What would be great is if Dem members in multiple states showed up at multiple ICE facilities at 10 a.m. tomorrow armed with this injunction.

For 20 minutes, Americans watched Donald Trump address the nation, “drenched in pure panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:
This Is What Presidential Panic Looks Like
Donald Trump delivered a fear-drenched rant live from the White House.

one upside of trump insisting on a "presidential address" is it interrupted programming on every major broadcast network. so a whole bunch of normies who only see sanitized versions of
him were treated to live video of a rabid fucking hyena behind the presidential seal.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

Trump just announced he will address the nation tomorrow night from the White House. Probably to declare war on Venezuela. We all knew he was going to pull some last-second shit to distract from the Epstein files.

The Epstein files would like to know why we are supposed to think Venezuela stole “our” oil.

Trump and Republicans in Congress seem to love socialism for the rich -- corporate welfare, subsidies, and tax breaks galore. Yet they demand harsh capitalism for the rest of America.

“Reminder that the Epstein Files are supposed to be released on Friday and every political development that you see between now until then should be viewed with that in mind.”

I've been saying for a long, long time that Trump holdovers at the FBI WFO hamstrung the DOJ's investigations into Donald Trump. These new Grassley emails prove it. Example: Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago over multiple attempts to stonewall, and found evidence of multiple crimes.

Good news: a court just agreed to review the case challenging Trump's illegal attempt to destroy the CFPB, the agency that has returned more than $21 billion directly to Americans scammed by giant corporations.

The courts must uphold the law – or families will pay the price.

If the House passes a 3 year extension of the ACA tax credits - which they now have the votes to do - then @LeaderJohnThune has to call it up for a vote in the Senate.

GOP leaders have tried as hard as they can to hurt families, but the dam is breaking. Let's get this done.
