They’ll engrave that as the epitaph on our republic’s headstone if white voters don’t get their heads out of their asses toot suite.

Maybe you should, you know, READ the 25th Amendment before you post about it.

Look, you know the guy can’t read and is constantly mixing up words.

Just delight in imagining the look on his face when he finds out tmw it isn’t an ANNUAL visit, it’s a colonoscopy.

She embodies what trump most fears and despises: a strong, competent, and yes, fearless Black woman who sees him for who he is, and who has the receipts to prove it.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 10h

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Also, how to explain that the overall number of neonatal circumcisions has been steadily trending downward yet autism diagnoses are higher than ever, acc to Bob Kennedy the Lesser? Are parents giving their infants Tylenol just for the hell of it even when not chopping off a piece of their dicks?

So, it’s really a bank bailout, using farmers as a conduit.

Seems like the two main qualifying criteria for a job in the Trump regime is abject loyalty and sado-masochism. Evidently Lindsey has been a very, very bad girl and wants to be punished severely.

He cares about a peace deal only so far as it guarantees him a Nobel PP. He’ll quickly bore of it if it doesn’t, and if it does, blame other people when it doesn’t stick.

He’s angry like the guy hitting himself in the head with a 2x4 is complaining of headaches.

You cannot pass a single appropriations bill within your majority caucus, Mike, and Dems are done bailing out your ass.

Welcome to the big leagues.

When it comes to Republican politicians, being cynical re their motivations is of necessity the default. But if MTG — for whatever reason — is truly recognizing that her party is on the wrong path here, that means others are as well. This could get very messy very quickly.

Ciattarelli sounds like a name right up there with all those other storied American founding father surnames from Italy, as long as you consider Christopher Columbus to be a founding father.

Listen to this Republican military spouse, who is exactly right: Mike Johnson could call us all back today to DC to make sure at least our military is paid during the shutdown.

We have a bipartisan bill to do exactly that.

Truly a disgrace Johnson won’t do it.

Republican C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party,and I'm very disappointed in you, because you have the power to call the House back. You refuse to do that just for a show."
