I forgot. A stark reminder it’s 2026 in the 6th year of the reign of the felon #OrangeKing.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The #OrangeKing can’t even properly flip a coin. Must be lingering #BoneSpur “pain” that flares up whenever he’s near people who actually sacrifice for our country. #GoNavyBeatArmy #ArmyNavy

This right here…

Crockett on MTG resigning: "Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes."

Watching #HouseofDynamite marveling at all of the dedicated people at all levels of government portrayed in the film working desperately to save our nation and gutted knowing the #OrangeKing does not value a single professional government expert.

No one is safe from the #OrangeJesus Gestapo.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

The #RyderCup was lost the moment #OrangeJesus and all his selfishness, brought his fat ankles and bruised hands to Bethpage, representing hate and division on the day #TeamUSA needed unity.

Hey academia: The lesson here is those who don’t appease are lauded. Those who do are tarnished forever.

University of Michigan Regents come out squarely and publicly in defense of academic freedom against political coercion and the role of higher education and research in making America prosperous, secure ... and well ... maybe even Great? www.michigandaily.com/opinion/op-e...

This is what a leader looks like. Thank you Senator.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Trump wanted to treat Gavin Newsom the same way as Zelensky when he flew out there. But Gavin met him on the tarmac and bodied him. And that was that. Because face to face, man to man, no bros around to back him up, Trump is the biggest coward on earth.

A great take.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

Imagine… Churchill traveling across the Atlantic under similar threat and being treated that way. We’d all be speaking German. #Glorytotheheroes #GlorytoUkraine #Zelenskyy
