I think Democrats should come out and say Blanche's "settlement" and the Slush Fund generally is one act in a continuing January 6 conspiracy, extending statutes of limitation for another 3 years.

Dear lie-spewing, woman-hating, Trump-loving, science-denying, Bible-thumping, Christ-ignoring, Confederate-flag-waving, racist Republican assholes, This is all your fault. Fuck you. Sincerely, Me P.S. Eat shit.

Guys, I’m like 80% sure Mayor Mamdani asked Trump if he could get the military to shoot a Customs and Border Protection down with a laser and Trump was like, “Sure. Watch this, it’s really cool!”

I’m not an expert. I’m not a journalist. I’m just a mom from Chicago who’s paying attention & can’t look away. Every day the same playbook: lie, deflect, flood the zone, wait for us to get tired. This is why I keep showing up. Because if I can cut through the noise even a little — it’s something.

Here's what the idiots in the White House utterly fail to comprehend. They and the US came out of that argument weaker. Zelensky came out stronger, with Europe rallying behind Ukraine more than before. They came out looking like petulant idiots; he came out looking like a leader with integrity.

A good illustration of first vs second Trump term. In the first, Trump drew a fake hurricane path on a map with a sharpie. In the second, Elon Musk’s twentysomething minions have taken over computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration directly.
