Because Republicans in the age of Trump no longer have policies, or even politics -- they just try to be influencers, but because they're all twisted freaks it comes out like this.
A Republican State Senator, Chris Garten, just posted a picture of himself beating up Santa for Christmas. Why?

“Homer didn’t want the future to look like Achilles and Agamemnon fighting over slave girls forever. He wanted it to look like Odysseus being tied to the mast, returning to Penelope, and managing his household in peace and fatherly cleverness. The Bronze Age was for boys—that’s Homer’s moral.”
“People say is racist book. Not wrong. They say is fascist book. Not wrong also.

They’ll say that the book is illiterate, but that’s where they’ll stumble. It’s not illiterate. It’s anti-literate.” www.liberalcurrents.com/reviewer-jud...

I'd like to see a member of Congress do something constructive like take the Trump letters off the U.S. Institute of Peace and the Kennedy Center. Renaming of buildings and agencies after the president was illegal so would a jury convict a member of Congress for restoring their legal names?

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Why wait? A delegation of Kennedys - including the Schlossberg guy who's running for Congress in my district - should roll up with ladders and tools and start prying the letters off now. Dare Trump to have a group of Kennedys arrested.

RFK Jr. is going to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It will take a few years before the deaths and disabilities ramp up to a level that even the most vile Republican cannot tolerate.

RFK Jr. will be long gone and unaccountable, as our babies die from preventable illness.

Full on neo-Nazi conspiracy theories from the president tonight — the very same invasion and replacement conspiracy theories that have fueled a cycle of deadly violence targeting so many communities including immigrants, Jews, Latinos, the Black community, Muslims, and more.
Trump’s primetime diatribe against immigrants is straight up unvarnished Nazi stuff

feels stupid to say at this point but how the fuck isn't anyone invoking the 25th amendment.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)
“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.

Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.

He continues to be a national embarrassment.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"
