Ben Shapiro @benshapiro 1d If you're at a dinner and somebody introduces himself as "Dr. Smith," you'd be rather upset to learn that he had a doctorate in musicology if you were to suffer a stroke at the table.

Evan Williams @evanwilliams... 36s

It’s sad that some folks only ‘see the light’ when it hits home. We were sent here to represent hundreds of thousands of people, not just our households.

It’s time for Republicans to remember their oath and do right by the people they serve.

I just said this earlier, that it has to affect one of them before they finally get it. I have thought that every time there is a school shooting too.

Does AG Pam Bondi think she’s auditioning for the VP slot in Trump’s unconstitutional third term?

Here’s the mashup from today’s shitshow you definitely didn’t ask for. But this important point: she’s reading off a script. Someone actually wrote this garbage and thought it was good to go.

If he is in the Bahamas, he will just wear flip flops. It was pitiful hearing him run for the Senate in my state of GA. He was often in the news and I gave myself neck pain from shaking my head.

I think I saw where she mentioned her kids will pay a lot more for care. I always said that these people won't feel the need to make changes until something directly affects them. I do not agree with her on most things but glad to know she is standing up.

I am not a federal worker but this is BS. Isn't this common for Thump though - not paying people who did work for him over the years after they completed the work?

JB Pritzker: “Whenever the president talks about somebody critically, it’s often projection about what he himself is insecure about. Each of the things he said about me, they’re all true about him. I can take it. I am not afraid of this president.”

Why does Trump think he's going to get away with jacking up health premiums on families by 75% in order to fund a giant tax cut for his billionaire pals?

Because he thinks his campaign to repress free speech will keep us quiet.

But he's wrong. We are fighting back.

They’re really excelling at selecting woefully underqualified individuals. The Justice Department has appointed retired Marine Corps Colonel Daren K. Margolin as the new head of its immigration court system.

Connie’s Sandstorm is one of the most unusual and captivating roses—a rare garden treasure. With swirling petals in tan-brown tones brushed with mauve, it offers a desert-inspired palette unlike any other rose in our collection. Its rarity and distinctive coloring make it highly sought after.
