HASSETT: If the Supreme Court doesn't find with us, refunds would go to whoever cut the check for the tariff BRENNAN: Doesn't the administration claim it was the country that paid that? HASSETT: Uhh --

Khanna: "The problem here is there are rich and powerful people who either engaged in this abuse, covered it up, or we're on this island. What the American people want to know is who are these people? Instead of holding them accountable, Pam Bondi is breaking the law."

“AI used as much water as the water industry this year” is fucking wild

Wild — as the community note says, Trump’s DOJ released a publicly available pic of MJ & Clinton & Diana Ross with their own kids and implied it’s them with victims They aren’t just redacting, they’re doctoring

“It was not unanimous. I was muted and not allowed to speak.” 🤔

Inflation is so bad in Trump’s economy that the cost of his ballroom went from $200 million to $400 million in 6 months.

This year has felt like being awake during surgery but also it’s unsuccessful surgery and also also now you have an infection and none of that is covered by your insurance anymore

I feel their pain. I might have to add this to my delivery instructions.

Fuck, and I can’t stress this enough, Maureen Dowd.

Rep. Ramirez: “You lie with impunity. You reject checks and balances, and you ignore Congress and the courts. Your options are limited. Either you're going to resign, Trump's going to fire you, or you will be impeached.”

Rep. McIver: “Secretary Noem, you have treated Congressional oversight as an inconvenience…Republicans on this committee may be willing to hand over their constitutional duty in order to kiss this administration’s butt cheeks, but I am not.”

In 2017, I believed the institutions would hold on to withstand Trump’s worst impulses. They hung on by a thread. Then I watched Trump, Miller & Project 2025 plot for 4 years to make sure they wouldn’t hold again. Which is why I didn’t believe they would hold again. They aren’t.

See the comments on this post.

I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

Great. We're being outdone in justice by HONDURAS

Are farmers going to be on welfare for all 4 years of this Trump term, or just for 3 years like the first Trump term? We get you like voting for government handouts, but we are $38 trillion in debt.

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I stood for women who were raped when they were 14 years old, and the president that I fought for called me a traitor for that."

This is so spot on and a huge reason people are so angry at legacy media right now

“He’s a human being!”

NYC: “I’m born here! Kings County Hospital! Suck my d*ck!” Trump’s ICE goons grabbing brown and black people. Bounty hunters. Racial profiling is all they do.

Mike Johnson’s entire worldview is a time machine back to the 1950s and somehow his wife hit the gas pedal. This is what happens when MAGA convinces itself that misogyny is a family value.

Boomers: It just sucks so much that everyone gets participation trophies now, you used to have to show real merit to get an award Also Boomers:

We were promised these assholes were leaving. Starting with Andrew.

Trump on Joe Biden (2024): “He has an ability to fall asleep while on camera…in minutes, he’s stone-cold out, and he’s got cameras because he’s the president…You’ll never see me sleeping in front of a camera.”

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Trump: "The word 'affordability' is a Democrat scam"

He conspired to traffic 400 tons of cocaine into the country and was “at the center of one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world.” He even said his goal was to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” Now, thanks to Trump, he is a free man. 2/2

@onestpress.onestnetwork.com I'm expecting schedules that say "the President will make many phone calls and have many meetings" to return soon!

Wow: JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon seems to think that companies involved with Trump's ballroom project could be criminally prosecuted. thehill.com/business/559...
