AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Jeffries: The American people certainly do not support the notion that Trump and his cronies like Stephen Miller, who is a joke and a toxic embarrassment, are going to run Venezuela. They're talking about making Venezuela great again. They haven't been able to make America great again.

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

The same people that tell you we can’t have mass EV adoption because “they will crash grids” also are fine with U.S. data centers consuming a staggering 130 GW (1,050 tWh) by 2030.

This has been an absolutely disastrous week for Mike Johnson, Donald Trump, and Republicans on Capitol Hill — all thanks to Elon Musk. And it’s about to get even worse, unless those clowns can find a way to prevent the federal government from shutting down at midnight tonight.

His “popular” win continues to be eroded…
Donald Trump is now (1) below 50% popular vote and (2) has a margin of popular vote victory roughly HALF of Hillary's victory in 2016. They believe the left has to lay down and shut up because of this "landslide" victory.
