SPEAKING JOHNSON IS A FUCKING LIAR AND WILL ROAST IN HELL FOR WHAT HE IS DOING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

They didn't reform anything in Medicaid, they destroyed Medicaid!

We just crossed a bright red line. The President is delusional and his cabinet is dangerous.

Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

Thank you, John. He hid his melanoma from me for 10 years apparently refusing chemo. I'm gobsmacked!

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

Yes, I'd like to know as well. I lost a son over this shit, though thankfully he showed up when needed on Friday.

Yes and my handicapped daughter we care for. God I'm going to miss him.
