At this point, everyone seems to have just normalized the idea of the President offering bribes to voters. This is just how it is, isn't it? Trump does outrageous things, we all act shocked, and then we shrug and ignore it.
Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."
No one has ever had as punchable a face as Hassett.
KERNEN: You have never seen Americans so sour on the economy HASSETT: The thing about the sour -- when you look at surveys, Dems think we're in the Great Depression. Republicans think things are fine. So surveys have lost their value. It's a very very strong economy, one of the strongest we've seen
Recall this, in 2020, where Trump struggled to walk down a ramp, later claiming that it was slippery due to weather, even though you can see that it's a perfectly sunny day. youtu.be/6bqvGXGN4DA?...
"I can go ramp, I can go stairs" -- Trump's audience in Texas gives him an extremely tepid round of applause as he brags about being able to go up stairs without falling
No real military leader would define leadership like this. The fact that Hegseth thinks this is leadership highlights how mindlessly superficial his understanding of any of this stuff is.
Hegseth: "Telling someone to get in shape or shave or fix their uniform or start busting their ass -- that's not discrimination. That's leadership"
It's worth saying here: The only people obsessed with this stuff are weirdos in Trump's administration.
Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

This is a great example of what the entire GOP is at this point in history. They're just a bunch of unserious imbeciles who can't do even the basic legwork that should be a minimum requirement for their jobs. Schmitt concocts this conspiracy theory and presents it without even basic fact checking.
holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

Here's the question to ask: What kind of fraud could you commit by signing up for health insurance and not using it? There's no way for a criminal to somehow make money from such an act.
Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."
Most Datacenters only employ around 50 on-site employees. The idea that they are going to bring a bunch of good jobs is a pure fiction.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry on data centers: "Unfortunately, I don't think the American people are digesting all of the information. I mean, look, nothing against golfers out there, but golf courses use 40 times more water than data centers ... we welcome them"
To anyone in the press, Franklin's quote seems relevant to you guys. "We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately" ~Benjamin Franklin, 1776
Trump: "I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW, and Politico ... from the White House as a result of their constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS!"
Markwayne Mullin: "Those individuals came into the country the white way."
BASH: He's a US citizen MARKWAYNE MULLIN: He wasn't arrested BASH: He was arrested. He was later released, but he was arrested. Do Americans need to carry around proof of citizenship now? MULLIN: If you're a citizen, you have no reason to fear

Yo @jaketapper.bsky.social How can you go on TV, and NOT call Trump the dumbest man alive, after he just spent all day saying stuff like this? bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"
Kash Patel is arguing that so many FBI applicants had sex with animals, that disqualifying them for beastiality wouldn't let them find any agents. So, according to the Director of the FBI, if you encounter an FBI agent, they probably had sex with animals.
PATEL: The previous regulation automatically disqualified any individual who participated in either side of it KENNEDY: Either side of beastiality? So you disqualified the animal? P: Well, we have great canines, but we're not going to disqualify them K: I'm trying to understand why you did this.

I think tearing down Trump's monstrosities, and scraping all that gold crap off the walls, would be healthy symbolism about recovering the country. In addition, fire all his appointees. He's the guy who wanted Schedule F - the next Dem POTUS should use it, then cancel Schedule F. But use it first.

Folks, @glowlaw.org - a new non-profit dedicated to legal accountability for government lawyers, documenting both ethics violations and dedication to the rule of law by government attorneys - badly needs your help. We need to raise $18,000 to keep the lights on for this coming year
Jesus Christ: after a recent ruling by the Eighth Circuit that allowed Act 372 to take effect, an Arkansas county has banned all children from checking out any books in the adult section, bringing home any DVDs, or using the self-checkout kiosk in its public libraries.
Donald Trump makes President Camacho from Idiocracy look like Abraham Lincoln.
Trump: "If the failed Nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder & higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings &, when it is over, there will be very little left of the Islamic Republic of Iran!"
It's absolutely insane that we elected someone who is so narcissistic and oblivious that he'd post this without realizing that the reason everyone is mad at the GOP is because of him. This is what happens when you get all your news from Natalie.
a post from President Trump: "I don't think the GOP fully grasp how badly they are fucking up right now"
The president can never ask Todd Blanche to cross an ethical line if Blanche has no ethical lines.
WELKER: Can you pledge the DOJ will always act independently of the WH? BLANCHE: No, I'm not going to pledge that WELKER: So if the president asked you do to something that you feel crosses an ethical or legal line, would you do it? BLANCHE: He would never do that. He never has. He never will.
It seems absurd to have to say this, since it was only 6 years ago, but A MILLION AMERICANS DIED. We remember that a MILLION Americans died from Covid, right?
RFK Jr: Trump wanted to end lockdowns. In Fauci's diary, he talks about how the president was calling him trying to get him to reopen the country BASH: The lockdowns were down by governors K: They cited Fauci B: Govs were hearing from hospitals that their ICUs were overrun K: That's not true
