They let the soybean farmer out of the box the White House had him in and he hasn’t missed a step in embarrassing himself.

Noem is just straight up cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Some Paul Simon music for your Sunday RS youtu.be/gBPB50Bdps0?...

Bruce Springsteen at the Light of Day Charity concert last night telling it like it is. Love it! 💞 #Springsteen youtu.be/kozx1KGI3sg?...

They keep moving other little ICE guys to the front to try to make Bovino seem bigger. Fun size fascist

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Since everyone seems to be posting 2016 pix. Here’s one from the opening night of his tour. Today is the 10th anniversary. #springsteen

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

On this day 10 years ago, "The River" reshaped the road ahead as Bruce and the E Street Band launched a tour that let the album unfold in full, night after night — a show designed to capture the sweep, scope and spirit of the album as a complete live experience.

Add federalism to the long list of things Republicans only pretended to care about.

Markwayne is markdumb

Drop something KICKY

Watch in the next day or so as more third or fourth string MAGA congressmen roll out with comment and the latest round of talking points. The whole thing is such a big loser politically that you’ll see more new faces as the familiar ones run away from this fast.

Failed Governor endorses the least qualified Vice President in modern American history.

Union Strong/America Strong We still get to say what we want about elected leaders no matter how fragile their egos are.

What's the difference between most of us and Donald Trump? When someone screams "pedophile protector," most of us know it's not directed at us.

Cognitive decline - and there wasn’t that much cognitive there to begin with

Another Bari Weiss faceplant

💯

Some pollsters weight their polls to the partisan distribution of the electorate. Without updating the partisan distribution (these data are just now becoming more available and clear) you would get polls that underestimate Democratic performance, as happened last year in Virginia and New Jersey.

Trump is really giving “fragile loser” in this clip.

If you are ever tempted to think that CNN still exists, remember this. It is a zombie version of what used to exist. It looks like CNN but, alas, it’s gone.

He’s at big risk for significant hand bruising

At this point, ICE is just playing limbo with Trump’s approval numbers. How low can they go?

The Don is in a very fragile place emotionally.

Nice job you got there. Be shame if you actually had to be qualified for it.

If you told him martians actually gave him votes, then he’d say “yes, I’m very strong with martians. I’m very strong with … martian.”

Trump: Careful, sonny. You do know that if I hadn’t won you’d have to be qualified to have your job, right?

Um… cognitive trouble today (and there wasn’t much cognitive there to begin with)

Tom Adelsbach ·ICE Chief Greg Bovino, is the Little N*zi That Couldn't.

Stay classy, MAGA

Um, there’s marknot a markreason.

This seems like bad news for Elon.

Powell goes full Schattschneider 🤓! Expand the scope of conflict, get audience off the sidelines & into the game. Gambit to rally political support for Fed & put Trump on defensive. Reminder that Fed depends on political support (from lawmakers, markets, judges, POTUS) to secure its “independence”

Post- Trump Republicans will try to claim that they were for freedom, limited government, etc. But this anti-American, anti-freedom trash is what they support in reality.

Trump is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs

I have to get some towels and bed sheets, but let’s say I’d like to avoid any imperial entanglements.

Kavanaugh Sweeps?

Never again let a Republican tell you that they are for “limited government.”
