Is there any possibility that the picture is misleading? In other words… is it possible that Melania was acting & appearing perfectly normal all day but then she briefly looked down? Sure, I despise sadistic Donald Trump and his wretched freakish family but this is just too weird to be real 😳

If Trump can deliver a good economy, then he’ll be able to implement his fascist agenda But if Trump’s economy continues to get worse, he’s in big trouble He needs to turn this economy around, but he surrounded himself with imbeciles. They weren’t hired for competency; they were hired for loyalty

This is about as gracious as you can get and he still got fired

Im not a lawyer but doesnt him suing everyone discredit the OLC opinion that Presidents are too busy to be indicted? Why is this a one way street?

I just want one reporter to ask him what year it is.

I hope that Democratic politicians are savvy enough to understand that the Epstein scandal is *not* a tawdry pop culture tabloid distraction The Epstein scandal is about privileged men using sexual violence. That’s a serious issue And a key figure in the scandal just happens to be the US President

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

The US has had just ONE President who was born after 1946 The US has existed for 249 years and 1946 was 79 years ago. So as a percentage of our nation’s history, every President except Obama was born during the first 68% of the nation’s history and only one was born in the last 32% of our history

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER have not slowed the Iranian program nearly as much as the JCPOA. We hold diplomacy to much higher standards than bombing. The same people who endlessly complained about the JCPOA "sunsetting" are now happy to delay Iran's bomb by much less. 15/17

This is why I said the strike is about regime change. As late as May, DIA said Iran had not restarted its nuclear weapons program. When asked about that, Rubio said the intelligence was "irrelevant." It's only irrelevant if the problem is the regime, not the program. 16/17

It is a metaphysical certainty that whatever Iran does to respond to Trump’s bombings will be Biden’s fault.

VANCE: it’s not regime change! MAGA: it’s not regime change! TRUMP: of course it’s regime change!

Her 2020 tweet is still up. Tulsi has no core values, no deeply held principles. She’ll pander to anyone

Libs sure loved masks when it came to mitigating a world-stopping respiratory virus. But now that armed agents of the state are using them to harass innocent people with impunity, suddenly masks are bad! Make up your mind, libs!

I’m stumped. The dates are out of order. But how could that happen? There are really only 2 plausible explanations: 1) vandals vandalized the dates 2) the tombstone carver made a typo, and for some bizarre reason the surviving family members simply didn’t care #mystery #unexplained

This was avoidable. He was bonkers crazy when he left office in 2021. And he’s gotten even loonier. The voters KNEW this. They KNEW about January 6, they KNEW about the rape ruling, they KNEW he was campaigning on high tariffs, they KNEW he had 4 criminal indictments The voters signed up for this.

It’s kinda crazy that barely one week ago the sitting US President’s largest and most important campaign donor publicly accused the President of pedophilia and we’ve all forgotten about it and moved on (even though this donor has not explicitly said that the accusation was untrue)

what an embarrassing time for the nra to forget what the second amendment is for

The California legislature and city & county governments should file injunctions and draft emergency legislation prohibiting the quartering of now-federalized troops on private property including hotels under the Third Amendment. Make the Guard bivouac on the ground on federal property.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. Trump Derangement Syndrome is believing Trump won’t turn on you after he’s turned on everyone else.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

No politician ever says, “Billionaires will just use their tax breaks on drugs,” or “Billionaires are out there having too many kids with a bunch of women.” The prosperity gospel: The rich are blessed with riches because they’re moral and the poor are punished with poverty because they’re immoral.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Unmarked planes and cars, LEOs with masks and no uniforms, tricking people into getting caught...what have we become.

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

I'd normally throw a "we regret the error" on this correction, but that'd be a lie, as regret is a feeling and, as of about 45 minutes ago, I am incapable of feeling anything

One morning, sitting in an immigration office in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen found himself transformed. A day before, he was a welding foreman, a husband and father of four. Now, he was a detainee, bound and shackled in a detention shuttle in Tennessee. www.mississippifreepress.org/ice-arrests-...

It's a rich irony that a President who is obsessed by the trade balance is blocking one of our best exports: American higher ed. International students pay fees, create high-paying jobs, learn ideas, and spread them globally. But they can't come without reliable visas.

this is not deportation, this is kidnapping and possibly something closer to murder

You fought for habeas corpus, put it in your constitution, and now you’re just gonna let a game show host take it away? You’re not losing your rights. You’re handing them over.

Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.

“With the Jeanine Pirro appointment, we see once again that Trump is just an elderly man who watches Fox News all day and thinks the on-air talent is as good as it gets. Which makes sense, because the on-air talent is chosen to impress elderly men who watch Fox News all day.” -Damon Linker

Trump Calmly Reminds Nation That Desire The Root Of All Suffering

Trump has 2 basic arguments: 1. He knows how everything works better than anyone else and he will fix everything. Immediately. 2. He’s powerless to fix problems and nothing is ever his fault.

If you leave out the wristwatch I dropped in him before sewing him up, the patient is remarkably healthy.

It kills me that this is where we are, but I think Pritzker could go on Rogan and just have him agreeing with everything.

When they start arresting judges we’re all in a lot of trouble

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

Roses are red Daisies are plain

If you had shown me this picture in a Democratic campaign ad last fall, I would have rolled my eyes at the ridiculous overkill

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” accidentally sent to a journalist is an all time classic.

A lie, obviously, but let's pretend it's true. That would mean...stay with me...that using Signal...was an ESPECIALLY TERRIBLE IDEA. These people really are astonishingly stupid.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

What is really sad is I trust the Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg with national secrets more than I do anyone in the Trump administration.

The good news is that if these morons ever did try to launch a military incursion into Canada or Greenland, the rest of NATO would have plenty of advance warning.

The common theme among all the elite institutions now bending the knee—in academia, law, media, and business—is that they’re run by people who feel entitled to wealth, prestige and authority without civic responsibility.

trump believes he is the boss of america and that it is our duty as his subjects to show him endless respect and deference. anything less than groveling is to be punished by the state.
