I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

So what was I supposed to do, take a student loan? Forget it. Anybody who can afford Mage Academy has rich parents

Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of US global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. And I wonder if your proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family ... I know you know this in your heart."

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Trump is siding with Putin over Ukraine, cutting off military aid, and blocking intel. He’s turning his back on our values and letting Russia win without consequences. This isn’t strength—it’s weakness. Betraying democracy and helping dictators is un-American.

Russian strikes on Ukraine kill 20 as US cuts intelligence sharing with Kyiv, Alarmed by Trump, Poland Must Look at Nuclear Options, As Trump pivots to Russia, allies weigh sharing less intel with U.S., US abandons planning of new military exercises in Europe, and much much more...

After the most disastrous first month of any President in history, Trump will do everything he can to distract you tonight. He will try to convince you that culture war issues are important. None of these things lower gas prices, improve job numbers, or put food on the table. Don't take the bait.

"You should be hired on the basis of merit."

For some reason, the camera did not cut to Pete Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Kash Patel, or Tulsi Gabbard.

At least the people who needlessly die in the next wave of hurricanes will die in a world with fewer pronouns. I'm sure that'll be a comfort to their loved ones.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Trump’s appeasement of Putin is a disgraceful surrender to Russia, an outright betrayal of Ukraine, and a stark warning to the world that America under Trump is no longer the defender of democracy but a willing collaborator with a terrorist state.

Yes, the Trump-Vance administration just told Germany it should make nice with a far-right political party with a history of using Nazi rhetoric and accepting racists and antisemites. And no Republican will complain. This is neo-fascism.
