The fact that the new mayor of New York paid less in rent in NYC than I did in Bend OR is a true testament to what he want through to get to his position. $2800 Doesn’t get much in Bend, it gets poverty level in NYC. apnews.com/article/zohr...

The standoff between National Guard troops being activated by their governors and the feds at the same time can’t come soon enough. Seriously. Activate the guard, get them on orders and put them on hold and let the rest play out in court. In the meantime they can pepper spray ICE agents for fun.

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

One of the weird quirks of a Trump presidency is the off chance that he throws a hissy fit and accidentally sends an unprecedented amount of high quality military aid to Ukraine. I don’t agree with the way it’s happening, but if Ukraine gets ATCMS it’s pretty much a win…..failing upwards maybe?

The most sad thing about the Epstein scenario is that even if the DOJ releases the full dossier of information, even if Trump was on it, or hell his entire family! He would still be perfectly fine in his current position. He’s basically the titanic and only an unseen iceberg can sink him.

A lot of people are understandably mad at Murkowski for voting yes on the big garbage bill. I certainly understand that frustration. But she’s not a trumper. She knows this bill is bad. She did the best she could for her constituents to limit the damage to them.

I invited Dr. Oz to keep his promise to join me in Eastern Oregon so the Trump administration could answer to Oregonians about its plans to gut Medicaid. He was a no show. Trump officials are hiding from the American people because there's no excuse for ripping away health care, and they know it.

Renaming a US Military vessel because it carries the name of Harvey Milk is peak male fragility. Milk was an honorable veteran, a gay rights icon and a tireless civil servant. He was assassinated while serving his community. Hegseth could only dream of achieving 1/100th of what Milk accomplished.

It’s hilarious how many overzealous tech brows talk about being “disrupters” 🤣 funny, so funny you disrupt the system built for you. But LOL. A real descriptor is Ukraine, showing that you can take 100k worth of military tech and wrap it in a $20k package to gain 2 billion in losses for RUS 🤣

BREAKING: Texas Republicans just passed a major book banning bill. They say it’s about protecting kids from “filth.” But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it could ban classics like Romeo and Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, and Lonesome Dove.
