Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Oh, Donald.

Every day you get closer to actually meeting your idol.

Spending eternity with him in a flaming room with no doors.

If you don't want to be accused of being a Nazi, try to stop emulating one.

Nothing to see here, just Trump going for his second “yearly” checkup this year.

Anyone ready to admit that something is wrong with POTUS yet?

Maybe she’s having buyers remorse. I’m thinking she may break away and become an independent.

MTG appeared on CNN this morning and doubled down on accountability — slamming GOP leaders over the shutdown and demanding the Epstein files be made public. She spoke truth to power about the toxic atmosphere in DC and the need for all to work for their constituents. That wasn’t on my Bingo card🙃
