[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela?

AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

It's really upsetting that President Biden did so much to make the country better after the pandemic and the buffoon in there now is dismantling it piece by piece. Over a million jobs lost. Unemployment the highest it's been in 4 yeas.

Laura Loomer calls for the "eradication" of Palestine. When you use Twitter this is what you're supporting. This is why the institutions and elected officials need to leave Elon Musk's hate app.

To feel this comfortable to talk about Trump like this, Susie Wiles either...

1) Is looking for an off-ramp
2) Has so much dirt on Trump, she knows he can't fire her.
Susie Wiles tells VF that Trump "has an alcoholic's personality."

"High-functioning alcoholics or alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink."

Of JD Vance, Wiles said he has "been a conspiracy theorist for a decade."

Israel pays US politicians to push anti-immigration rhetoric because the people around Netanyahu are heavily invested in corporate private prisons in the US and supplying ICE, the real reason ICE got such a massive budget is because Trump and his accomplices plan to pocket it. It’s corruption.

The Washington Post's editorial board is publishing stupid blogs faster than we can cover them

Michelle Obama always keeps it real. That’s why we love her.

This is how a decent and good person speaks about other decent and good people who died from a tragic murder.

Elon Musk was an “avowed” ketamine user, Susie Wiles told Vanity Fair. She also labeled JD Vance a “conspiracy theorist,” budget head Russ Vought a “right-wing absolute zealot” and criticized Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

America will survive, but I doubt the people will actually learn anything at all given how the Jan 6 Insurrection wasn't a deal breaker for them, nor was the Pedo Prez's ICE raids and tariffs among other things.

The only way for America to learn is to undergo demagafication and Nuremberg 2.0.

The normalization and acceptance of Islamophobia in our politics is disgusting.

Our Muslim neighbors are not Republicans’ scapegoats for antisemitic attacks and Trump’s failed policies.

We must absolutely condemn Islamophobia loudly and hold those perpetuating it accountable.

Trump is often discussed as one of the worst presidents in modern American history, but it’s important to remember that such a categorization is far too narrow.

If Trump can say those horrible things in the aftermath of Rob Reiner’s murder, then every immigrant who was deported for Charlie Kirk comments should be allowed to return.

Every person who was fired should be rehired.

The President shouldn’t be held to a lower standard than everyone else.
