This is just plain stupid. How many people who escaped with the clothes on their backs and their children strapped to their bodies can buy a 1/2 million dollar home? HOW STUPID DO THESE FUCKERS THINK WE ARE???
FOX NEWS: Do you believe that the number of people who came into the country illegally is one of the major factors that drove up housing prices?

FED GOV STEPHAN MIRAN: I absolutely believe that's the case

Oh not so sure Meggie wasn't this horrible from the beginning, Molly.
These Megan Kelly clips are pretty good proof that a lot of people have gotten much much much worse over the last 10 years

Does JD Vance understand how absolutely stupid he sounds every time he opens his pie hole? Immigrants are responsible for the housing crisis? Is he nuts?

Yeah. I'm kind of in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp.
Elite defections begin.

The collapse accelerates.
Here is Nebraska GOP Rep Don Bacon, a previous “NO” vote who now says he will vote “YES” on the discharge petition to release the Epstein Files when it makes it to the House floor.

More GOP house members are following suit.

The DAM IS BREAKING.

I apologize for being slow on the follow-backs. I've been off Bluesky for a couple of weeks while I relocated to Columbia, MO from Seattle. It has been a hectic time. I went to NY and saw the MSNBC crew. It was delightful. Anyway, I'm back.

Other countries get leadership and we just get stupid.
EPA Commissioner Lee Zeldin announces his agency is launching a major investigation into the right-wing conspiracies about chemtrails and weather manipulation to get to the bottom of it.

What I don’t understand is why the British press don’t hang Brexit around Nigel Farage’s neck like a stockade.

It was the single worst act of economic self harm in modern British history.

Why doesn’t the British media force him to own that?

JUST IN: The ENTIRE East Wing of the White House has officially been DEMOLISHED, per AP.

It won't be great or significant architecture. It will be trashy, gaudy, and look like a tornado hit Walmart. This is so sad. He's acting like it belongs to him. IT'S NOT HIS DAMN HOUSE.

Goddamn it. Why are these people incapable of telling the fucking truth? He, who blabs about religion, doesn't think shooting a pastor in the head with pepper balls while HE IS PRAYING is not crossing the line? What is wrong with these people?
Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

It was a splurge, for sure. But damn. It was worth every penny. Even having gotten a little intoxicated the night before while watching 15 innings of my Mariners. 😁

Don't y'all find it incredibly interesting that the Gadsden "Don't Tread on Me" flag wavers are the most supportive of Trump's authoritarian move to sic the military on US citizens? What a fucking joke these people are.

It saddens me that the entire country is not horrified by this bullshit.

If you think you’re having a crap day, take comfort in knowing there are multi-star Generals who were ordered to fly halfway around the world to listen to a nut job drone on about his election numbers.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

That dude has literally lost his way.
John Fetterman would like us to know that the way we should greet fascism is to be silent, embrace it, and just let it happen. Tone down criticism of troops in our streets.

I have a feeling some of his ancestors might disagree.

He just continues to be a true asshole. Not just someone who plays one on TV.
Joe Manchin said "Trump is the person who can basically bring us together… And I'm really hoping, I believe in him, I believe he can do that.”

Joe Manchin, because Trump's ass can't kiss itself. 💋

I would like Never Trump Republicans to demand that George W. Bush appear and speak up for democracy in this country. Why do ppl always ask Obama to do things and “where is Kamala”? Where is the 43rd President of the United States while democracy crashes & burns. This is the party he led. 1/
