One classy (and quick) thing Biden did: When a guy said "let's go Brandon" on a WH Christmas special, he said "Let's go Brandon, I agree" and kept talking to him.

We don't have a king. You're allowed to talk shit to him!

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

Leaders in the party that once claimed to stand for individual freedom and limited government now say if you don’t do what the masked men say, regardless of whether their orders are legal or contradictory, you won’t “get to keep your life.”

They may kill you without trial.

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

They responded to questions about torturing innocent people with memes.

It’s cruelty, inhumanity, and incompetence on a shocking scale. A major national embarrassment that will go down in history.

This is more than a media story — it’s a scandal.

Trump & co. broke the law to send people to face horrific torture, many of whom were innocent, and lied about it.

THIS Supreme Court held 9-0 that they violated due process laws.

This…is not economics
Vance: "Why have rents gone down for 4 consecutive months? Because we're starting to get those illegal aliens out of the USA. Those criminals, those gang members, those people that are taking homes that ought by right go the people in this room. It's simple economics."

The year before Trump took office, the US averaged +168,000 jobs per month.

It added just 119,000 jobs TOTAL in 7 months since Trump's tariffs began.

The unemployment rate just hit its highest level in 4+ years.

Even Trump's Chief of Staff admits his tariffs hurt our economy.

Here's the thing - with a newborn I did use Google a lot! More than the books I had. BUT - I was looking for reputable sources, not a random person saying "My babies drank milk left on the counter for 8 hrs and they are fine!" which is what ChatGPT could be using for an answer.
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"
