I wonder if his erratic and persistent tariff threats have anything to do with it... 🙄

I don't know how genuine her shift is but I do know that I want to welcome anyone from the cult when their fever breaks. If, for whatever reason, MTG is changing her stance, she deserves a chance to "walk the walk".

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Who is funding it? I can't believe I've been standing up for the Constitution free of charge this entire time!

Excellent summary of Donald Trump.
The election is rigged unless I win. The news is fake unless it's flattering. Everything is a hoax unless I tweet it. Nepotism is bad unless it's my family. I'm rich but you can't see my taxes. I'm smart but you can't see my grades. I'm a patriot but I dodged the draft. I'm successful but my businesses fail. My staff is the best until I fire them. I'm innocent but I refuse to testify.

Outrageous -- and apparently in blatant violation of yesterday's ruling protecting protesters and journalists from this kind of shit. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/10/w...

I am so grateful to be a Minnesotan and am likely not alone in feeling heartbroken that we are in this place. We have to be prepared to defend the most vulnerable people our communities from the federal government. That truth is almost too unbearable to comprehend.

Of course it is. Although, we may be taking a break from hysteria over autism while we rage about Donnie Douchebag not winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

So true. I dread each day's barrage of awful news but will not allow myself to become complacent. Their strategy is to "flood the zone with shit" so we all stop paying attention...do not let them win.

The guy terrorizing American cities and bombing fishing boats in international waters deserves the Nobel Peace Prize? The "President of Peace" who has made enemies of our friends and allies? Got it.

I'm sure a hundred people have already said this but I'm going to say it again: It is insane that I didn't immediately assume this was The Onion when I read the headline.

Portland authorities have enough control of the conflict to hide it at will....I foolishly thought the reason it wasn't visible is because it doesn't exist.
