It’ll be curious to see how the electorate reacts to some of these insane MAGA candidates in the general election Some of the districts are so red it might not matter. But Democrats have over performed or won in Every Single Election Since 2024 So despite all the gerrymandering Dems can win

Trump has major influence over a small primary in a heavy gop district, behold his mighty power

I’ve lived through my share of terrible NBA playoffs losses and that was as bad as it gets for the Cavs. If they don’t get swept after that I’ll be surprised. Woof.

Decades of GOP gerrymandering and they are electorally beholden to a demented narcissist who will go down as the worst President in the history of the United States

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!

Vance is doing everything he can to associate the Pope with fascism. That must mean JD really likes the guy.

Congratulations again to all of the legal and media elites who tried to pass of this fifth-rate reactionary as some kind of moral sage

Who is organizing a gallery show of Trump hand photographs? If it isn't being done yet, it must be.

The average gas price when Biden left office was $3.11. It’s currently $4.50. The only time in Biden’s administration when it was higher than now was 2 months in the summer of 2022 right after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Trump: “We inherited high prices and we got the prices down”

Trump says we have a good economy but people aren’t “seeing it yet”

Trump says the war will end soon and oil prices will come down 🙃

Trump: “I know a lot about flagpoles”

other people can have kings, that's their business

y'all remember when ken burns did the vietnam war and we all learned that nixon decided to betray his country vis-a-vis the peace talks. apropos of nothing it'll be fun to learn what trump was hiding in the year 2032.

@paulwaldman.bsky.social: "He keeps looking for someone else to swoop in and end the disaster he caused — first Europe, now China, and who knows whose help he might plead for next. Unfortunately, no one can end this but him." And he wants a W w/o having to give up anything. 🧾 shorturl.at/Lnlpj

In some attic there is a portrait of President Trump that is never aging.

oof -- Trump's mangled hand as photographed today by Kent Nishimura (AFP via Getty)

"Trump either underestimated how powerful the weapon of Hormuz is, or didn’t believe Iran would use it. And now that Iran has successfully created a global energy crisis that’s rapidly turning into an economic one, he still wants someone else to solve the problem. Yet he keeps getting turned down."

I confess, when I was a kid, I donned a paper crown from Burger King.

I do pillow news for the pillow man

"If Americans don't like kings, how come 'The Lion King' is so popular on Broadway? Huh? Explain that to me."

He's said this a few times, so apparently he actually thinks this is a clever gotcha. It's like saying Democrats weren't protesting Burger King or The Lion King.

Fun watching midterm ads being written in real time… “This is peanuts. I appreciate everybody putting up with it for a little while…But I don’t even think about that.”

credit where it is due to someone i am meh about: this is a pretty devastating line of questioning and the admiral looks like a deer in the headlights

MOULTON: I'm not asking you to talk about the Iran nuclear program. I'm asking you to talk about the English language. What's the difference between 'obliterated' and 'significantly degraded'? Are they the same? ADM COOPER ... MOULTON: Why did we start this war? Was President Trump lying to us?

Sean Duffy talks over Patty Murray for more than a minute straight as she tries to ask him questions about his 7-month-long road trip

MURRAY: You are encouraging Americans to go road tripping. How much did you rack up on gas on yours? DUFFY: I don't know, but I know it was not as much as it was under Biden, which was $5 a gallon. It's only $4.50 now MURRAY: Holy cow. Americans don't have corporate sponsors to pay for their gas

this says a number of things about cassidy, few of them flattering

Between this and the hospital idea I think he's building his Alamo?

DUFFY: The great American roadtrip was a partnership with a nonprofit-- GILLIBRAND: Funded by organizations and companies that you oversee D: Do you have jurisdiction over law firms? *looks at notes* You received $7m in political contributions from the trial bar G: Oh my God! You're the witness!

He's not leaving, folks.

if it were up to jd vance, there would be a monument to the qanon shaman in the capitol rotunda

Chris Wright: "This is courageous leadership by President Trump. Even in an election year, he's putting the long-term interests of American people in front of short-term political advantage. That's what leadership is all about."

FOX NEWS: How long would it take to make the strait not matter to anyone? CHRIS WRIGHT: Oh, efforts are underway already (Peter Navarro claims the US currently controls the strait ... )

Chris Wright: "We're two and a half months in, and ah, uh aie uh uh, things should wrap up, uhhhh, hopefully before too long"

Chris Wright: "Here's where President Trump's activities have been so helpful. Gasoline prices today are cheaper than they were four years ago during the Biden administration."

Portraits of Trump in the background

Put it on a campaign poster

Chris Wright, who not long ago said gas prices would be back to $3 right now, now says "I don't make projections"

Please repost and subscribe if you are able. I don’t know how he does it, but I thank him for his service.

ANYBODY in this country, you say? because several parts of minnesota have people in this country who’ve been victims of weaponization of the federal government 🤔

The trades were “unsolicited.”

I tortured myself by listening to some of this in the car while running an errand -- he took a series of obsequious softball questions from right-wing toadies, but then the one real journalist who asked an actual question is the one with no objectivity? Really?

Please giving answers like this: just makes the ad makers jobs easier.

She wasn't even targeted by the federal government! Come on, man.

Regardless of one's views on her conviction and sentencing, in no way was the federal government involved. This is just Trump handing taxpayer dollars to criminals he likes.

Sen. Jon Husted on high gas prices: "What do you want me to do?"
