This is the immune system of a democracy that is being challenged. Its messy and chaotic, and its also the American Way...
The people in the goofy inflatable costumes who are supporting fellow citizens are infinitely more patriotic than the red hats supporting a single leader...

Goodbye to Disney+/ABC streaming. Patriots don’t allow interference with freedom of speech. This country was founded on principles that are more important than entertainment. It’s not about what Kimmel said, it’s about whether politicians dictate what we see and hear.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

It’s sad that this is all too often true. The right really has to get back to having principles and not treating everything through a partisan lens. This didn’t used to be the case.

I guess to 50% of the country this is what a person who needs mental health help looks like, and the other 50% says “what the hell, let’s give him access to nuclear weapons…”

I would much rather be in the cockpit right now. This is the opposite of #avgeeking

Not at all like fixed wing flying but definitely worth the challenge. Inching closer to soloing (again) for the first time in more than 30 years.

At what point does his base realize that the trolling isn’t funny and that governing should be a serious thing for serious adults?
Reporter: Who do you want to be the next Pope?
Trump: “I'd like to be Pope. That'd be my number one choice.”🤡

Glad to see Rep Bacon (R) stepping up and nudging Congress back to being an independent branch of government and not a Trump puppet. We need more of this (a lot more).

Watch the Trump coin as the tariff “negotiations” start. It’s an easy place to hide corruption if he requires foreign interests to drive up the value of his crypto as protection money for companies and countries.
