Collins: "When [Trump] says, 'We're bringing prices down, and we're doing so fast,' do you think that's how your constituents see it?"

Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley: "I think people feel like things are way less affordable than they should be and it's way too hard to get by."

Rubio was photographed pacing around the Oval today and then Trump tweaked out on camera for 20 minutes tonight. I wonder what speech Trump planned to give when he announced it yesterday and if plans changed.

D’oh! Piggy Trump is hateful and deranged. He has dementia and he’s addicted to Adderall. Unfit for office. How much more evidence is needed?

How humane presidents respond to the death of a beloved American film artist. Contrast and compare with Felon 47’s vile, odious remarks.

BTW, How old is Piggy Trump now?

Is Tammy Tupperware still living in Florida but claiming to represent Alabama? Is that legal?
Two Republican members of Congress are calling for the mass expulsion of Muslims from the U.S. following a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia over the weekend, amplifying an increasingly brazen Islamophobic sentiment within the party.

Comments from Rep. Randy Fine (R-Florida) and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama) reflect a brazen Islamophobic sentiment being voiced by some in the party.

And none with the guts to condemn Piggy Trump for his vile words, right?
It is rare that i reach out to as many trump advisers and officials that I did today and get literally no one willing to defend this, even off the record.

Now the shooting in Australia is Biden’s fault.

The kind of fate that reportedly fell Rob & Michelle Reiner should happen to no one, but it's doubly gutting to know the kind of person he was, how loved the art he gave us, and how much he'll be missed by all of his family and fans alike. What a horrible way to go, what tragic news to absorb.
