I feel like Ds are better at making sure that inappropriate behaviour doesn’t infiltrate the party. They tend to hold Dem leaders accountable. How it should be.

Fox News is eating this up.

Have you ever seen anyone torch their own governor chances as fast as Katie Porter did last week?

Google searches for “Katie Porter interview” are up 10,000% and her odds of becoming the next California governor just cratered from 40% to under 16%.

Maybe someone should ask him about the well known allegations against him. Why did we move past that ever? The men that came forward deserve better.

Jim Jordan on Trump publicly calling for the prosecution of his political enemies, who have then been prosecuted: "The president is speaking his mind, and I think that's entirely appropriate."

This is exactly what the media needs to do when they lie, or when they talk to the country like we are not worthy of a honest answer! More of this please!!

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

I think it is wild that the Republican leaders of Congress are publicly delegating their branch of government's constitutional spending powers to the president. Why not just let him vote on Supreme Court cases, too?

Q: Rescission are something Dems have said is a reason for a lack of trust. What rescissions are you discussing?

JOHNSON: We have more than $37t in debt. We're doing everything we can to get us back to sound fiscal responsibility. What does that include? A rescission package is part of our process

Trump: threatens to ban Boeing parts. He won’t he needs them for his new MAGA jet. He’s a criminal looking after his own interests. Nothing more.

Where is the tariff money? What is the real amount and what is it being used for? Zero accountability and no reporting.

Daily reminder that Trump has still done nothing to Putin, other than fake a couple hollow threats.

When Dems take control. And they will, I hope they expand the SC. I was never for this at all. Trumps endless damage to the court has consequences, I think this is one of them.

They always have hand in money pot now. Trump kids seem to be able to do anything for millions, qualified or not. We spent 4 years hearing about Hunter endlessly. How is it that trumps kids have never been questioned about the unbelievable amount of money they have received!?

Long after Trump is gone, his children will still be here

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 1d

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

🕯️Farewell to the incomparable Diane Keaton — an icon of wit, warmth, and originality, she redefined what it meant to be a leading lady: fearless, funny, and utterly herself. Her spirit, style, and humanity will continue to inspire generations of artists and dreamers. Thank you for the magic, Diane

People who are nominated are usually gracious and humble, show the respect the recipients who do actually accomplish this with appreciation and acknowledgement they deserve. They don’t act like self serving pricks.

Trump is giving Qatar a military base in America.

Remember, Qatar funds Hamas.

Oh yeah, Qatar also gave Trump a $400 million plane.

What the hell is the end game here? Is it that we all take a knee and he reigns like a king and the lawmakers become his private court? I’m of the thought it past constitutional crisis and just don’t see a way out. Sorry but I’m just at a loss.

No, no he doesn’t. Any man who speaks to citizens in the way he does and promotes hate, cruelty, corruption and dishonesty does not deserve any such award.
