The Nobel Prizes, 5 of 6 having so far gone to US based scientists, are a reminder of why we must stand up for science against this horrid administration. Here are some great Scientist Activists to follow.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

How could we ever have imagined PARODY would become the new ‘reality’?

Or that so many Americans would be accepting of these absurd ideas.

It really seems like a bizarro world or a never ending nightmare.

REALITY MATTERS!

The criminal imbecile deflects as typical. Then thinks he has a ‘gotcha’ by suggesting to ask Democrats about his insane comments.

Democrats KNOW that there is no rationality nor reason to anything that self serving dimwit says.

Absolutely ask Democrats about the reality on this lawless simp.

Q: Why do you say some federal workers should not get their backpay?

TRUMP: Well, you're gonna have to figure that out. Ask the Democrats

Those pulling strings behind the scenes are likely using it as a tactic to further their own personal agendas. Not that the criminal imbecile wouldn’t or hasn’t used the tactic himself. Though he’s simply the kludge they use because he’s so addled and easily manipulated.

They may get caught in it!

Not surprising or the least different than everything we publicly see frequently.

Struggling to read words crafted for him and beyond his language skills. He has little or no grasp of what he’s looking at. Doesn’t even grasp that “shelf” makes no sense at all.

In a legitimate governed he’d be out.

Maybe surprising the serial liar even admits to knowing who Santos is. There can be no relevance or confidence in any comparison offered up by this addled imbecile who has no grasp on reality.

Trump on George Santos: "We have a young congressman that's right now in jail for lying about where he went to college and other things. It was frankly not good. It was pretty bad. But it was nothing compared to Blumenthal."

Or so confused about reality he’s completely wrong or unintelligible. Basically there is nothing communicated valid or worth hearing.

Though “I quit.” would be welcomed if he knew what he was saying and followed up on it. 😉

Maybe even worse, at least regarding the criminal imbecile questionably occupying OUR OVAL OFFICE, he assumes everything he thinks IS the reality. It’s HIS reality and for that narcissist, the ultimate authority. Damn the Constitution, laws or historical precedents.

Republicans willingly use that.

It’s confusing that resolving the federal government shutdown is not more important work for House Republicans.

Clearly, under continued pressure for competent leadership, which is lacking, mealy-mouthed Mike’s reply is BS deflection.

CONFIRMS a Republican shutdown as they’re busy elsewhere. 🤨
