Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.
She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

Donald Trump and RFK Jr. hate you, want to kill you, and even more than that they hate and want to kill your children. They are murderous, hateful, genocidal monsters.
This is a fucking nightmare and right now I am very, very angry with the people who put Trump back in office.
More and more kids are going to die from preventable diseases.
As I have said for months, RFK Jr. has more power to singlehandedly kill more Americans than any other cabinet secretary.

RFK Jr hates children and wants to murder as many kids as possible. It's what gives him joy in life. His only source of happiness is killing kids.

A +14 shift to the Dems in a very red district applied nationwide next year means a solidly blue House and a chance to retake the Senate against an extremely unfavorable map.

"Surely a quick, violent, successful war of aggression is just what the ruler needs to shore up his legitimacy," said just about every failed monarch in history shortly before invading Serbia.
Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
