Hey, I looked and sounded better seven years ago! After 40, it’s like our bodies age in dog years: seven for every one calendar year.

She’ll have to go back to fantasies of Trudeau “pounding.” i.ytimg.com/vi/O08PD8Fqk...

Wrong! But only because it’s going to get worse as he shifts from financial crimes to crimes against democracy (e.g. using the military and security services to thwart elections and repress protests).

I agree, but if the Dems win Congress & the presidency in 2028, I doubt that any consequences will happen. After all, Obama ignored the torture and human-rights abuses under Bush and Biden ignored until too late the attempted coup under Trump. Why think it will be any different?

McConnell could have saved this world a lot of grief by leading the Senate GOP in convicting Trump in Jan. 2021. As far as I’m concerned, McConnell can fuck off & die.

More salient: Can we have work requirements for members of Congress to receive health insurance?

Is that photo op part of her contractual obligations or did she receive a separate stipend?

I heard that he asked her to “beat off the charges” so she— Well, unlike in that Denver theater, there isn’t any video.

Keep it up, Andy. Arizonans don’t like people who like pedophiles and won’t support them for governor.

Fact check: True. (The GOP have proposed killing the ACA quickly by repealing the law and have proposed killing it slowly by ending subsidies.)

The way this economy is going, we're all going to be scavenging road kill, but we won't enjoy it as Mr. Brain Worm does.

Before tonight, the public almost universally blamed the GOP for premiums skyrocketing, but now the public will likely blame the Democrats, too, I assume?

And, senator, how many people will die because they can’t afford insurance without a subsidy and won’t get to vote in Nov. 2026?

So she put the drops in her eyes again, huh? Well, if JD can pull himself off the couch, he can comfort her.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

It would be one thing if the GOP killed the filibuster to help average Americans, but they would use it to rip away health insurance, give even more tax cuts for the 1%, etc. In short, they would do the exact OPPOSITE of what the electorate showed last night it wants. Do it, GOP!

All hat, no brains.

The causative association between driving around with a whale head on your car is not sufficient to say you're definitely a sicko. But it is very suggestive.

You left out a line: Kennedy added, "I did chop the head off one of the monkeys and drive with it strapped to the roof my car but strictly for research purposes, not for my supper."

Trump Says He Won’t Rule Out Third Reich

I find it ridiculous that we’re talking of “terms” and “election.” Trump doesn’t want to be elected to a third term. No, he wants to be president for life—no limits, no elections, no expiration date.

Couch your advice when giving advice to a man who wears eyeliner.

So which is it: Trump is “governing by decree” OR Trump is ”ruling by decree”? That’s the only real debate left.

Yes, and anybody who thinks the GOP will surrender any power in 2027 or 2029—regardless of the election results—is delusional.

Probably the cognitive dissonance from realizing that the theocrats he’s enabling will stone him and his husband to death for sodomy when they get power.

OMG

I don’t know, but I do know that this timeline we’re experiencing is absurd and the alien overlords need to reboot this simulation that we’re in.

She writes, "Mr. Kirk’s assassination should spur universities to do their part to protect and cultivate the free and safe exchange of ideas." She doesn't get the irony: Kirk did NOT believe in "free & safe exchange of ideas" as his group threatened anybody who disagreed with its ideas.

Maybe we should have work requirements for members of Congress to receive federal health insurance?

So? It just gives license for Trump's DOJ to release a scrubbed Epstein report that implicates only Democrats. This reminds me of everyone going nuts saying, "The Mueller report will nail Trump & the GOP will break with him." How'd that turn out?

I have little doubt that the UA president will sign. If he does, we'll see next steps (i.e. protests, resignations, shifting of resources to other institutions that respect academic freedom, etc.).

Good explainer, thanks! While I'm happy that judges like Immergut have pushed back against the administration, I worry that the next crop of Trump-appointed judges (e.g. Emil Bove) won't be so objective and tethered to the Constitution.

In 1861, we had a Republican POTUS go to war to preserve the Union. In 2025, we have a Republican POTUS go to war (against his own countrymen!) in order to divide the Union.

Just a reminder you should retweet and spread given current events: It's pretty much only dictators and kings that put their own face on coins.

Pretty good trial run for not seating Dems in Jan. 2027, esp. if their races were close. (This one, by the way, was NOT.)

You have a problem with his people showing him clips from Black Hawk Down and saying it’s footage from Portland?

I’m not too angry if MAGA take their medical advice from Trump & RFK Jr.—more commonly known as “thinning the herd.”

Please don't give this madman a single vote. Yes, his sycophants in the Senate will change the rules to end the filibuster on budgets, but let them. It's not worth surrendering--and besides, it will be useful to have NO FILIBUSTER in Jan. 2029 when you retake the White House and Congress.

To paraphrase a famous quote: For my friends, everything; for my enemies, tariffs.

Time Magazine article from Feb 13, 1939.

Additional evidence, too, that the GOP doesn't expect to ever lose power. Why? Because Fox News, OAN, Daily Wire, etc. would be shoved out of business early in a Democratic administration. (I'm assuming revenge would be on the menu of a Democrat, not "let's follow the norms" as in the past).

Someone needs to tell Trump that Sir Paul, The Who, Oasis, et al.—all these big rock acts charging thousands of dollars for per ticket—are singlehandedly responsible for the country’s inflation. Trump will tariff them until they lower prices. Or maybe he’ll deport them to a foreign gulag?
