NY sarcasm in a red state 🤪
The power exhibited by Mamdani in this scene is staggering. It’s easy to see why there might be Epstein videos of Trump on his knees.
Reporter: Would you feel comfortable living in New York City under a Mamdani administration?

Pres. Trump: Yeah, I would.

The most important thing to remember about all this fantasy-engineering of the Constitution is Madison's warning: If we suck as a people, no clever constitutional schemes will save us.

This is a perfect example of a narcissistic response. A man who couldn’t compete with a women so instead of self reflection, he blames women for his failures. It can’t be that he wasn’t skilled enough, it must mean the system is rigged against him. Must be MAGA.

The US withdrawal from WHO could impact the flu shot.

Flu samples sent to CDC from around the world are down 60% this year, as of July.

"When those viruses are not coming in, we don't know what to put in the vaccine, and you're going to have less effective vaccines."
Why next year's flu shot might not be as good as it should be
America's withdrawal from the World Health Organization is affecting the ability of U.S. scientists to track flu and other pathogens. That could be a blow to the development of the 2025 flu vaccine.

They have the author of “The Art of the Deal” in the WH. He is a self proclaimed “Jenius”.

Johnson can call the house in session at any time.

These Epstein files must be an epic tale of power, rape & human trafficking by the wealthiest men in the world.
With great power comes great responsibility. Republicans are in charge right now. They may not have 60 votes, but they hold the gavel, and that means it’s on them to negotiate.

You cannot keep the government closed, refuse to talk, and then blame Democrats for the mess you created.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

The irony of this is all those billionaires who think Trump is good for business is finding out he is actually a malignant cancer on it. After all, he has gone bankrupt 6 times.

And people think these people are smart.

Only two Republicans, Rand Paul and Josh Hawley, voted with Democrats.
