Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

I just walked into a Trump store in southern Missouri. I picked up a few items and saw that they were made in China. The place was full. I asked loudly if anything in the store was made in America. She said no. For emphasis, I said again, so nothing in the store is made in America?

She said no 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think that every time Trump has one of his unhinged press conferences, we should just say that he was "dumping brown liquid".

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Hmmm. I’m an army veteran, an obsessive voter, a dutiful taxpayer, a defender of the constitution, and an ardent supporter of freedom and democracy. But I guess because I protested (with a homemade sign) I am not a true American??

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it.

But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.
