New in PN: Republicans are totally full of it on healthcare.

It becomes more obvious every time they talk about it. And it's a big reason the shutdown is turning out to be such a disaster for them.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

And if you ask an AI about Qatari links to 9-11 attacks …

For the record, KSM is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Mastermind of 9/11. KSM lived and worked in Doha, Qatar, in the mid-1990s. When US authorities moved to capture him, he had already fled the country—allegedly tipped off by a Qatari official.

And Trump just sold a US airbase to Qatar. Not an ally, not a mutual defense treaty partner, just Qatar.

Apparently all it takes to buys US base rights INSIDE the US is a $400 million jet gift (not a gift according to Bondi - the Qatari lobbyist!).

What the ever loving F()5K!?!?

We’re in a health care crisis.

Hospitals and clinics will close from Trump’s cuts.

15 million people will lose their health care.

Now Trump’s CDC layoffs are making it even WORSE by gutting our ability to stop emerging health threats.

Democrats are fighting to stop this.

Guess that Qatari jet wasn’t a “gift” to Trump after all.
Screenshot of tweets. Mike Madrid writes: “Joe Biden was criticized for a Chinese balloon flying over our airspace. They’re giving Qatar an entire f’ing air base.” Below, Aaron Rupar’s tweet quotes Pete Hegseth saying on Fox News: “I’m also proud that today we’re signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho.”

Now, it’s Letitia James.
Next, it could be any other Trump “enemy.”

I think Duffy should ABSOLUTELY do that! It will only come out best for him.

I'm sure a class action lawsuit for wrongful dismissal, subsequent Congressional hearings, and eventual plea bargain or guilty plea will do wonders for his personal career and estate value.

President Trump intended his recent Truth Social post imploring AG Bondi to take legal action against his opponents as a direct message, according to a Trump administration official.

Mamdani: "Trump ran on 3 promises - punishment of his political enemies, easing cost of living crisis, & mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. And yet he's unable & unwilling to deliver bc he's beholden to the very billionaires that are profiting off of it"

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: political pressure against this plan is working, even in deep red places.

Trump’s public instructions to AG Pam Bondi weren't subtle: He named three public figures he's long detested and urged the DOJ to prosecute them immediately.

Now, less than three weeks later, two of them are under indictment: former FBI Director James Comey and New York AG Letitia James.
How Trump’s message to ‘Pam’ got exactly the results he wanted
Donald Trump has long called for imprisoning his opponents. For the first time, he has a Justice Department willing to do his bidding.

The Nixon years were a vivid preview of the Trump years, and even those of us who lived through it didn’t grasp the risks of counting on good presidential character to sustain the American experiment.
