This is the perfect definition for the GOP definition of 'compassion.'
"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst
That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

We do not condone international attacks on police vehicles or hoods. The poor officers already have to drive around a Toyota; this is all the more demeaning.

Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."
(Note that Brian Kilmeade has to encourage him lol)

Honestly, shouldn't it be worse than this? DOGE will actually result in increased federal spending. UFB! Product shortages are coming due to the tariffs, tourism losses estimated at 90B. I hope folks finally realize what an absolute joke this is . Great, no one will want to come here.

This is because the education trade surplus contributes about 56B to our economy. AYFKM? Of course they did. The hits just keep on coming.

"DOGE is not a serious exercise," said Jessica Riedl, a fellow at the Manhattan Inst, a fiscally cons think tank that supports streamlining gvmt. She estimates DOGE has only saved $5B to date, and believes it will end up costing more than it saves.

Wow. Just frightening to even contemplate that kind of naiveté. We seem to be approaching some big trouble if we are not already there.
Whew, this conclusion from the Fourth Circuit:
"We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos."

OUTRAGEOUS does not even do this justice. Un-frickin-believeable. How can this possibly end well for anyone?
Trump is cozying up to a foreign dictator who jailed 50,000+ under martial law in El Salvador — no charges needed.
Now Trump wants that same power in the U.S.
Democrats are banned from visiting the CECOT mega-prison.
Republicans? Welcomed in.
