Amy Klobuchar just tore FCC Chair Brendan Chair a new one over his hypocritical stance that Trump supporters deserve all the free speech but liberals shouldn't get any at all

SCHATZ: You think you have jurisdiction over political satire? FCC CHAIR BRENDAN CARR: My positio--- SCHATZ: It's a yes or no BRENDAN CARR: We have jurisdiction with respect the broadcast airwaves to ensure their operations are int he public interest (That's a yes!)

Back you go in a box

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Mr. Speaker, can you comment on the president’s social media post about Rob Reiner after he was murdered? I didn’t see the post. I’ve been very busy. I work 22 hours a day.

This is both disgusting and expected. The Scumbag-in-Chief

FOX: The president is coming up on a year in office. When can Americans expect to see their energy bills drop? CHRIS WRIGHT: Very soon you'll see a stop in the rise in electricity prices, and with the continuation of Trump policies, you'll see declines in electricity prices later this term

Ian Fleming drew heavily from his career in British Naval Intelligence during World War II to create the fictional world of James Bond. His motif was "fictionalize to open eyes," as a way of circumventing the Official Secrets Act. ianfleming.com/the-legacy-o...

This must be fake news because Trump said he ended this conflict.

⚡️Witkoff to meet Zelensky, European leaders over the weekend to discuss US peace plan, WSJ reports. Trump envoy Steve Witkoff will meet Zelensky and European leaders in Brussels this weekend to continue discussing a U.S.-backed peace plan for ending Russia's war.

Erika Kirk dead eyes. I don’t believe in demons, but Erika Kirk and Kenneth Copeland make me question everything. Greed, cruelty, and empty God-talk weaponized to exploit the vulnerable—that’s evil in plain sight. If Satan’s real, he wears a suit and smiles while stealing souls, not horns and fire

How many of you out there have been getting a nice slice of that $18 trillion Trump brought in for us?

This is beyond disgusting. Epstein’s files drop and what do we see? Trump novelty condoms with “I’M HUUUGE”like some deranged shrine to his own ego This isn’t “coincidence.” This isn’t “just a picture.” This is the world Trump lived in a cesspool of predators, power games, and grotesque ego worship

“It’s an insult to our service members that Pete Hegseth and Kristi Noem are using the defense budget as a slush fund for political stunts,” @warren.senate.gov told @theintercept.com

Trump: “Inflation is stopped, wages are up, prices are down”

All of these Dems represent swing districts. No surprise they voted to table the impeachment resolution—politics over principle. 📝 Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (FL) 📝 Jason Crow (CO) 📝 Henry Cuellar (TX) 📝 Sharice Davids (KS) 📝 Jared Golden (ME) …and many more. #SwingDistrictPolitics #Impeachment

Trump threatened to pull the state's federal funding, he sent Vance there multiple times, his allies (including his son) are currently threatening to oust all the Republicans who rebuked him, and he's already sicced his goons on these lawmakers, bringing them countless death threats. But ok.

Gallego: "This administration, since they started striking these boats illegally, has been very happy to show their snuff films . Now suddenly they're willing to show the first hit but not the second. Why? ... they're afraid the public is going to see the military killed 2 men that had surrendered."

COLLINS: You talk about 15 years of Obamacare. But that also means Republicans have had 15 years to come up with a solution and have not yet done so. ROGER MARSHALL: I'm not sure what we can say

I feel sad for a lot of the women he works with if they didn’t want to change their looks in such an extreme way. If they like it, whatever I guess. But yikes, these men are disgusting old beef jerky, their opinions are shit.

MAGA sucks SO BADLY at insults. champ.ly/Oig3VJw7

An overwhelming number of MAGA Republicans have been arrested for pedophilia. Feels like I see a new one get arrested almost everyday.

Was it her hit single called Jailbait?

BREAKING: According to Markwayne Mullin, Trump ended a *ninth* war overnight and is now working on ending a 10th!

Kash Patel must have forgotten to tell the American people this part yesterday. Must have slipped his mind.

US making the war longer and worse for Ukraine and the world, and hurting obvious US interests in the bargain. And for what?

Trump is constantly peddling fake memberships in exchange for donations

VARNEY: The price of natural gas is way up there. Doesn't that contribute to inflation? CHRIS WRIGHT: That's a short term move in gas prices. There will be more drilling, production will grow, and gas prices will go back down

"It’s a testament to how egregiously indefensible Hegseth’s actions are that we now find common cause with George Will. (A cautionary note to readers: this only gets worse in the article, where we are forced to nod along with John Yoo.)" — @snipy.bsky.social

Bessent at a New York Times event: "I actually don't read the New York Times anymore ... I read this article -- 'President Trump is slowing down. President Trump's mental capacity' -- it is 100% fake. This is why young people are going to TikTok ... we just had a 3 hour cabinet meeting yesterday!"

Is anyone in the Republican Party ever going to hold anyone accountable for anything?

If a Ukraine proposal was shaped to benefit a foreign power tied to Kushner’s money, that’s not diplomacy: it’s corruption… hartmannreport.com/p/kushner-uk...

Ummm… is that really the problem with America? Not enough 1970’s-style station wagons?
