In a nutshell.

She's Black, female and foreign, Trump will not support and won't care. He will probably confuse her with fmr GOP Congresswoman Mia Love who passed away.

This is why the Senate needs to have tag team speakers.

A few of those Dems in the Senate hearing yesterday, needed the level of petty BW and women who are about to catch a bf cheating have to deal with Pam Bondi.

I was watching, like, "Tag me in, Schiff, because I'm tired of this b..."

Everyday the Trump administration states they are funding something else. Everyday, the Dems need to tell what that thing is that day, remind people the government is shut down, they can't fund the US, but they can fund Trump pet projects overseas while American's insurance premiums go up.

Dems, this is your shutdown message for today! They have money to bailout the president of Argentina who is literally doing stunts and shows (he can't fund his own bailout ticket sales look pretty good), while letting Americans foot the bill AND pay higher premiums on their health care.

Explains why the WH is more unhinged and cruel than usual. He's fighting for a nomination. Again.

When you are considered that evil worldwide, the only way is to probably be the total opposite of how great you believe you are.

Unless Trump becomes totally not himself EVER, it will never come.

Nobel Week is once again upon us! How many women and how many scientists from the Global South will be awarded Prizes this year? Remember that this is typically a set of Prizes dominated by white men from North America (some Europe, some Asia). The first announcement was today: Medicine. 🧵 1/

"The price of gold continues to rise" as POTUS cheapens its look turning the entire Oval Office into a mis-matched set of gold teeth!

If Obama did it, the right would call him "ghetto." Now ⚪️ folks, you know this stinks of new money, Walmart and the trailer park! Don't be shy! Use your words!

You don't want to admit it, but then, it becomes clearer there is no other explanation.

Yes.

Stephen Miller is a whole psychopath with the ear of a narcissistic egomaniacal POTUS who is willing to give him the authority over the levers of power (and military) so long as he (POTUS Narcissus) can enact revenge of the people he feel wrong him (re: sees him as the mediocre loser he is).

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

She forgets, everyone who works hard to defend him crashes. She's doing him a Rudy.

Remember Rudy.

Rudy owes 2 women in GA nearly $150 million. If the law worked faster in GA and a few other places, Rudy would be waking up in a cell next to Diddy in a cell next to R. Kelly all asking for pardons!

Funny how the "states rights" states that don't want liberal states interfering in their state politics jumped up quickly to volunteer their national guards to get in blue states business.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

SenatorWarnock just broke it down: health care is on the line.

A Chatham County, GA. family once paid $559/month for coverage—now it’s $2,100 after GOP subsidy cuts. Quadruple the cost just to stay insured.
