Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

What kind of an unhinged trashbag of a human posts a response like this?

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

Since trump’s re-election a year ago, warnings that his use of the presidency to advance his personal interests is corroding American democracy have grown ever louder. #TheTrumpCrimeFamily is currently operating a corruption system for their own benefit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others. Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/washington...

As the treasurer of a food pantry for 10 years I can tell you it’s only going to get worse.

So the only people who get government welfare because they lost money from Trump tariffs are people who sold soybeans to the Chinese because they overwhelmingly voted for Trump, but no other businesses or people get any relief. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Bessent: "It's unfortunate that Chinese leadership has decided to use American soybean farmers as a hostage or pawn in the trade negotiations. American farmers overwhelmingly voted for President Trump ... you should expect news on Tuesday on substantial support for our farmers."

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left. And it’s not even close!

So much for the Homan bribery case. The FBI quietly killed it amid all the pageantry so we wouldn't notice. They never see evidence of wrongdoing when it's real and empirically provable and committed by one of their loyalists. Only the imaginary "crimes" they ascribe to their perceived enemies .

Even after DOGE, the tariffs, and all the performative stuff, the reality is that they're blowing out the budget deficit, and this year is on track to be the largest in the post-pandemic period.
