he has been talking obsessively about the afterlife for some time, he is missing for chunks of time, his aides are trying harder than usual to show he’s fit, his public appearances show someone in visible physical decline, and jd vance talked impromptu about being prepared to assume office

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

The press is writing about Bari Weiss because they hope to keep their employment prospects open.

Donald Trump imagining himself as Christian in The Pilgrim’s Progress when he is actually Beelzebub.

"I voted for Trump. I didn't expect [him to cut health care.]"

But seriously, this cements that he raped kids, right?

He’s not going to last three more years, folks.

“Have you had a valediction, boyo?”

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Well, *something* happened

Paul Ryan (I’m serious, he’s a huge fan)

Doesn’t matter, Matt Novak will tell you it’s a fiendishly brilliant move that has totally caught the Dems flatfooted.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

So you’re saying the average American *is* going to give a shit when their health care premiums shoot up by double digit percentage points, thanks to Trump and Republicans letting the ACA subsidies expire, which he can’t illegally fund without an appropriation (as much as he might wish it). Noted.

I spoke with physicians who have treated presidents and VPs about Trump's return visit to Walter Reed — and they had questions.

Depending on where you live you may hear a spontaneous cheer erupt and car horns suddenly blaring in the streets.
