I guess the president just announced he recently took his latest in a series of cognitive tests, this one in front of a room full of medical personnel observing him?

Trump admits he took another cognitive test.

They don’t just give those out for funsies.

He also says the NYT reporting on his heath is sedition and perhaps treason.

Whatever news he got must be awful.

TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”

Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

Great news!
A huge night for Democrats:

—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

From New Jersey to Minnesota, from Georgia to Virginia, from Pennsylvania to California, Democrats have been overperforming in race after race all year. And tonight we added Florida and Georgia (again) to that list with margins that should set off alarm bells for Republicans everywhere.

Sen. Warner: "We've just had another briefing on the issues surrounding the strikes in the Caribbean…I continue to think that the whole underlying basis of equating a boat that has drugs on it as the same, in a sense, as terrorists that had guns or bombs. I find it problematic."

Shapiro: This is an area that voted for him. And yet he comes back now, almost a year after taking office, having screwed over the very people who put him in power.

As a result of his policies, their costs have gone up…

Jessica: Trump doesn't have the same issues that Joe Biden did. He doesn't have a supply chain problem. He doesn't have a global health pandemic. He's just setting our economy on fire and not in a good way. Like the dumpster fire way

W Bush gifted Obama a financial crisis.

Obama gifted Trump a booming economy.

Trump gifted Biden a pandemic and high inflation.

Biden gifted Trump a booming economy.

Trump will gift [Dem President] another pandemic, tariff war, recession and self inflicted world disorder.

Jessica: There are some key indicators that Trump and this administration knows this is going badly… We aren't getting the jobs numbers anymore, the GDP numbers or inflation numbers and we know, Donald Trump, if the number is remotely good or he can lie about it—he tells you what it is.

Corruption out in the open. How can the White House have the power to approve a merger or block a competing one where Trump’s own son-in-law stands to make millions? This is why the FTC should remain independent—and why Trump wants to control it.

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.
