#SubmissiveStephenMiller said, "...the president has plenary authority, has..." before immediately going stone-cold quiet for more than 15 seconds.

15 seconds of dead air. That's like an eternity during a live broadcast.

SSM is in the sh*t. This should be national news.

Could you imagine having a job where you've called off all but 12 days in 79 days, and still have that job?

Yea me neither.

But the MAGA republican regime thinks that's OK, and if we check their CR, we would probably find they gave themselves raises again.

For doing nothing.

Trump’s ‘cardiac age’: 14 yrs younger than his.

Donnie's brand is always 1st.

Donnie likes to add zeroes, we'll take away the 1. So, 14➡️4.

4yrs younger?

No, let's flip it. 4yrs older.

Yep, sounds right.

Even halving 14 and flipping it would be reasonable. 7yrs older.

It's 4-7yrs older.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

Semi-annual, huh?

Which half of him did Trump book in for the medical? The top half or the bottom one? Left or right?

Sheesh, this confirms all of his math-related and English tests in school and college were completed by other kids.

Semi-annual? It's bi-annual, Donnie, you fkn moron!

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

We're starting to see people outside of Israel starting to be included into ICC genocide investigations.

It's going slowly, but kinda reassuring there is some progress.

I wonder if the media in addition to government will be included in the investigations?

The ICC is looking at bringing charges against Meloni.

It's time that all leaders who supplied weapons for Genocide face charges.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

He gets a jet and a golf course, they fall prey to the 'I got a bridge to sell ya" scam.

How the fck does a Qatari facility get to be a part of an operational US combat air base?

Will Dems, when they get power, chuck the Qataris out?

MAGA selling out national security. Literally.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.
