Thanks for the update!

Mark Bray and his family were attempting to leave the country after his life was repeatedly threatened by MAGA types who labeled him “antifa.” But their plane reservations were mysteriously canceled and they’ve disappeared. Nine hours since the latest update.

I wonder if the Nobel committee has any misgivings about leaders turning troops against their own people....

Yeah, that’s gonna happen when you repeatedly renege on promises to the other party, Mr. Thune.

Even better! Enjoy!

Tell us when there’s a Republican who’s not sucking up to Trump. That would be news.

He’s literally on the wrong side of every single contest.

What gives me the shivers is that I don’t think *anyone* would willingly. But he seems unphased by that.

Welcome to being a high profile public official, Ms. Noem. Are you just bummed that nobody saw your hair today?

Never ever will I forget that when he first surfaced, he told us all that he takes his life direction and policy cues from the Bible. Unbelievable.

I feel like the whole basketball schtick was a major distraction. But I also suspect it’s referring to something I’m unaware of and therefore over my head.

I know it’s kind of tongue-in-cheek when people say that being a sex offender is a qualification to serve in this administration… but I think the scales have tipped; it must be true. He’s stacking the deck with people who will sympathize with and protect a predator.

I think that threatening the home country of the Nobel Peace Prize is an excellent way of showing the committee what a peaceful guy you are.

Wow, what a pig.

If only there were real doctors willing to study this!! Oh, wait — they all got fired.

I feel like turning the National Guard against your own people and sending troops to Israel aren’t ringing endorsements either.
