Wait - so there was a peace deal in place under Biden, but Netanyahu met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago (tinyurl.com/4fn64wah) and scuttled it to give them both a political win?

Sickening. Revolting. Vile. This makes you want to throw up.

This is the kind of garbage that the worst kind of people say when they think nobody is watching.

And where are Republican leaders from Trump on down condemning these comments swiftly and unequivocally!?

I’m waiting to hear it.

A headline from POLITICO reads: "‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat"

Adelita Grijalva is unable to represent her constituents in Congress because Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in. Because he doesn’t want the Epstein files released.

Avian flu infects more than two million hens in a Washington flock, and additional cases are confirmed in Indiana, Minnesota, Ontario and Manitoba.

Sure would be great to have a functioning CDC monitoring these things.

Is anyone testing for human cases?

More flocks have been affected in Minnesota, Ontario and Manitoba, while Indiana has a presumed-positive case.

Its all turnip all day every day on every network, no one covers anything else now. We are doing his job for him. No news about disasters, shootings, earthquakes, typhoons, just trump over and over. No Epstein files, no innocents disappeared and murdered by his taliban force?

A disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered W Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the sea.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Billionaire corporations are already seeing the money roll in from the giant tax giveaways Donald Trump and the Republicans stuffed into their Big, Beautiful Bill.

What about working Americans? They're losing their health care, and their costs just keep going up.

It's shameful.

Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.
