The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

I've watched this ad like 10 times. It's just the best

I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .

You can’t say you weren’t warned

Mike Johnson really has them working hard for you, America.

We’re not changing it.

Voting for essentially unlimited funding for an authoritarian domestic paramilitary force and then taking credit for adding bodycams is the most Susan Collins thing ever

Going to be a banger of a NATO meeting.

The US men’s soccer team can still win if Mike Pence finds the courage.

Nothing quite captures the spirit of America 250 like promising a century of single party rule if only one party can change election laws.

"Speaker Johnson, you’re obsessing about losing the House but don’t seem to realize it’s because you have no program for the country other than illegal disastrous tariffs, illegal disastrous war and humiliating invertebrate submission to your unraveling cult master." - Rep. Jamie Raskin

Trump really ought to walk through the Senate chamber buck naked tomorrow and demand that Thune conduct a vote on whether he’s clothed. The vote would be 52-47 yea, with Murkowski joining the Democrats as a no and Collins saying she’s too concerned to vote.

live your life in such a way that the entire world isn’t waiting to see your accursed name pried off every building

Are y'all getting it yet?

I know when we’ll see a lot of ‘em.

Cuba is already preparing a list of everything it wants in Trump's upcoming "Art of the Deal" total surrender.

Trump’s mean tweets are still capable of swinging a primary in Kentucky. His approval rating is barely above drinking age and he will never be on the ballot again. His second term is already an abject failure. Other than that he’s killing it!

In order to stay ahead of the curve here, I'd like to note that the U.S. has no grounds to invade Cuba, arrest or change its leaders, take control or directly influence its actions or, for that matter, to be blockading it right now forcing its people to suffer. Nor is any of that in our interest.

What happened to the $10b Trump allocated for this ridiculous boondoggle?

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

It’s astounding that Zelensky survived a full-scale war without ever having a ballroom.

This was at sunrise, in New Orleans.

I don’t think the political party that’s spent 30 years telling us ‘actually everyone should have guns, no restrictions ’ should try and pin the blame for political violence on the party that’s been saying ‘more guns is bad and we should have some common sense limits’ for 30 years.

The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”
