Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, has never hidden his disfigured & dangerous psyche. But now Trump has empowered him to execute his fascist impulses, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

I’m mildly surprised that Republican voters and America Firsters have bought Scott Bessent’s bullshit that American taxpayers aren’t shipping billions to Argentina to bail out the massive personal investments of Bessent’s friends. I guess loyalty to these crooks takes precedent.

Republicans in Congress strangely silent on the Argentina bailout to benefit Bessent’s friends.

It also helps you to avoid talking about it when you are never asked about it.

Then ask yourself “why was it in the Big Ugly reconciliation bill? No democrats signed this package and republicans carried through and passed on their own?”

Mike Johnson: "It's about keeping Congress operating so we can get to healthcare. We always were going to. They're lying to you. Okay? The healthcare issues were always gonna be something discussed, deliberated, contemplated, and debated in October and November."

Tariffs are a tax without representation which is unconstitutional. Congress must approve tarrifs and so it will be interesting to see what knots the SC ties itself into to say what the 🍊🤡 has done on tariffs is legal

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

FOX: Do you think Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?

FETTERMAN: If this sticks. I think the whole point of having a Nobel Peace Prize is for ending wars and promoting peace. And if he brings the Ukrainian war to its end, I will be the Democrat leading the committee for his Nobel Prize Peace.

Scalise: "When a good day for you is defined by how much suffering you can impose on other people, maybe you need to look in the mirror and check yourself at the door and wonder what it is you're up here trying to accomplish."

And they’re NOT going after the “worst of the worse,” as promised. Most of the people they’re snagging have clean records. Some are citizens.

To be clear: this is NOT making Chicago safer. It’s state-sponsored mayhem; dangerous political theater calculated to provoke.

So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face with a pepper ball; marched through downtown Chicago, masked and armed.

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the “crisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.

A unifying theme of the actions taken by the new Donald Trump administration and its Project 2025 is wrecking the United States as a democratic power, to the benefit of Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and other autocratic adversaries,”
