Time to truly cancel your WaPo subscription (even though they still have some great reporters).

“Not only does Donald Trump deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, but there has arguably never been an American president who deserved it more.”

I just can’t.

Opinion | Yes, Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

His Gaza agreement, though still fragile, adds to an unprecedented peacemaking record.

Or killing tens of millions of the poorest people in the world - on purpose- through vaporizing USAID.

Call me old school, but I don't think a person illegally blowing up boats and unleashing masked goons on his citizens would be a serious candidate for a peace prize.

“No Kings” organizers in FL got a visit from investigators with the criminal division of the state’s Department of Financial Services because of a postcard they sent to FL state CFO Blaise Ingoglia that said “You lack values.”

Armed investigators visit man who sent postcard critical of CFO Ingoglia

The politically active couple expected a knock on their door because of their criticism of Trump and DeSantis, but not over a seemingly innocuous postcard.

Announcing the sale of Melania merch ahead of the *movie* release in Jan?

Announcing her disgust in having to get ready for Christmas decor at WH. We know she loves that task 🙄

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Will he receive any required vaccines before traveling abroad?

Will we know the truth about any medical issues, other than what’s already been said?

Will his height increase an inch just because?

Maybe a fun new cognitive exam with different pics this time for him to brag about.

Brady | United Against Gun Violence @bradyunited.org · 1d

Right now, Trump’s DOJ is finalizing a measure that, if weakened, could open the door for people convicted of domestic abuse, violent felonies, and gun trafficking to regain the right to own firearms.

Make your voice heard before it’s too late! bradyunited.org/restoration

Ensure Domestic Abusers Don't Get Access to Guns!

Brady is uniting Americans against gun violence. We invite everyone who wants to end our epidemic of gun violence to take action, not sides.

Excuse me. 1A still exists. Tyrannical cult leader may think otherwise but he can FAWO.

Disgusted & Dismayed @disgustedinfl.bsky.social · 1d

Ooohhh. No D or R next to candidate name on ballot.
Can this be accomplished in other states too. That may lead to some interesting results.

Voters would have to actually research the candidates to know their stances and party affiliation. Hmmmm

Concububba LOL

In all seriousness tho, this quote!

“But in the hands of a man with no respect for the rule of law, a man who has already demonstrated his contempt for democratic norms and institutions, the Insurrection Act becomes something else entirely. It becomes a weapon of tyranny.”

Let’s call this what it is:

How to stop the 2026 elections so Dems can’t win majority in the House=

Much better messaging.

Trump has time to play golf but no where to be found to make the govnt run properly.
His golf score is more important than Americans pocket book.

False claims=lies

Just say 47 lied again 5 more times.

“our people”

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 2d

Reporter: Is it the WH’s position that furloughed workers should be paid their back pay?

Trump: It depends on who we’re talking about. We're going to take care of our people. There are some people that really don't deserve to be taken care of, and we'll take care of them in a different way

Disgusted & Dismayed @disgustedinfl.bsky.social · 2d

Because Hawley, you held your fist high in the air supporting J6rs that were storming the Capitol.

And then, you ran like a coward when you thought they would come after you too, all while J6rs were chanting hang Mike Pence.

He knows why.

Disgusted & Dismayed @disgustedinfl.bsky.social · 2d

Confirmed Liar
Confirmed out of touch

No maybe about it.

Is that what it’s called because it seems more like she’s avoiding testifying unless a GOP asks her a question. These antifa accusations of senators are getting old already too.
She isn’t testifying per se. She’s on tv doing her schtick for 47s enjoyment of looking tough.
