If only the clowns had allowed the impeachments to become convictions with sentences. Thanks Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, and the rest of Tramp's stepping stones.

These next few weeks are critical.

Not Even Congress Knows How Much Money DOGE Cut

Elon Musk’s team started a behind-the-scenes push for White House control over federal spending that is now an undercurrent of the government shutdown.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Impech Mike Johnson!

This obstruction constitutes an abuse of power/dereliction of duty, which are grounds for impeachment proceedings by the House under Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution, which empowers each Chamber to judge Johnson's qualifications/conduct.

Adelita Grijalva is unable to represent her constituents in Congress because Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in. Because he doesn’t want the Epstein files released.

Speaker Mike Johnson described the upcoming “No Kings” protest as a “Hate America” rally.

“No Kings” = America.

False King = MAGA.

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

Ongoing protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement policies took a two-wheeled turn in Portland today, when hundreds of people — some fully or partially nude — gathered for what organizers dubbed an Emergency World Naked Bike Ride.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

It's really time the media ceased to edit Grump and exposed him for the sad spectacle of a clown king descending into a demented abyss. As well, the media should reveal The Wizards of Oz pulling the puppet strings to further their own agendas.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?
