Y'know, on top of everything else bad about this guy, FHFA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac have real things they need to do all day!

But two essential criteria for a Trump appointment are (1) you're not qualified to do the job and (2) you don't do the actual job anyway, you do this stuff.

Before targeting Trump foes, Pulte practiced on his own family, per @

I hope that somebody is figuring out a way to prevent Trump from immediately taking a picture with the released Israeli hostages smiling and giving his thumbs up. He is traveling to the Middle East for this purpose, make no mistake about the optics.

Gov. Pritzker: "The Insurrection Act is called the Insurrection Act for a reason — there has to be an insurrection in order for [Trump] to be allowed to invoke it. He can say anything he wants, but if the Constitution means anything...the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked."

Emanuel: China's basically found leverage; they're applying pressure, and they're doing it to soybean farmers. Our farmers have lost that market, are out a huge amount of money, and could see a lot of bankruptcies in the rural parts of the Midwest.

I’m usually pretty skeptical of anything Trump says but his post about Biden’s FBI placing 274 agents in the crowd on Jan 6th is scary, if it’s true the sitting POTUS at the time needs a one way ticket to GITMO, am I right, MAGA?

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

The firehose of easily disprovable lies from Trump and his allies continues to get worse each month, with one statement after another completely untethered from reality, which is why it is so important for them to take ownership and control of media platforms & intimidate others.
