Not one adult in Trump's inner circle is willing to tell him that Portland isn't burning.

Not one Republican senator. Not one Republican Member of Congress.

Cowards and opportunists all of them. And not a single patriot amongst them.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.

Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”

“That sounds terrible.”

“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

Under Kristi Noem's leadership, ICE is now shooting dogs.

Which means ICE will probably soon be sleeping with Corey Lewandowski, too.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Firings during a shutdown are illegal.

But now we know why Republicans wanted this shutdown.

See you in court.

There's the problem that if they send thoughts and prayers about school shootings they're not going to give a damn who's fucking the kids.

You know what’s really tiresome?

Hearing over & over again that “Republicans are good at messaging.”

Saying “Democrats are all terrorists in Antifa” a million times isn’t being good at messaging.

It’s just being good at bullshit.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

dems should be screaming every single day about how stephen miller, maybe the most unlikable political figure in our lifetimes, is the shadow president.

Denny Carter @dennycarter.bsky.social · 1d

The “swing” voter in Pennsylvania who googled “Trump Kamala economy” the day before the election did not know Russ Vought and Stephen Miller would function as the president. I think about that every day.

I’m sure Russ Vought’s latest mass firings of federal workers will help Republican Winsome Earl-Sears in her race for VA governor in a few weeks.

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

Speaker Mike Johnson just extended the House recess through next week, which means members of Congress will keep getting paid for doing nothing while essential staff like members of the military will work without getting paychecks during the shutdown.
That's Republican leadership.

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

At first I did not believe this headline was real. But it’s one of the most honest I’ve seen anywhere in legacy media in 25 years.

Some Democrats are already doing this, but I think all of them should treat No Kings protests as mid-term mandatory attendance events, like the local fish fry or county fair. Push back on the sweaty Republican attempts to make them seem scary.
