Talarico is living rent free in these guys heads. Can’t find dirt on him, making stuff up, uh, didn’t work out. ❌ Trans ❌ Gay ❌ Muslim? ❌ Too tan? ❌ Mentally ill? I think they’re down to calling him skinny & low t. Wedgies & swirlies likely backup plan.
JD Vance: "I love you too sir. In a totally platonic way, to be clear. I'm the vice president, not James Talarico."
I guarantee Vance has made multiple orders of magnitude more references to trans kids than Talarico. Guess the FBI needs to take a look at Vance’s search history based on his own “logic”.
"He's just a guy who shows a weird focus on transgender kids ... typically people who say stuff like that tend to have some unusual search histories" -- JD Vance, who is obsessed with demagoguing trans issues, baselessly suggests that Talarico is a pedo

Imagine a lawyer filing 41 extensions for a 2 page filing. For a client sitting in jail waiting for post conviction relief. PA court system is an absolute mess. https://share.inquirer.com/bMMNXp

If you support this, you are an evil person. No tie of blood, friendship, history, or money will make me respect you. You have chosen to make yourself a moral outlaw.
Trump: "The Republican Party, we believe that Somalia bandits, third-world gangs, and jihadist sympathizers do not belong in Ohio, they do not belong in America. We got to get them the hell out of here." More "De-port! De-port!" chants from the crowd.
Out of the dozens of posts on this hearing, THIS is the first time I’ve believed anything the gov has said. But, yeah. Random meeting showing up on calendar? I prob would have showed up, too.
AL: Chronology. Meeting called by Deputy CoS Wischer. When did you hear mtg on that date? That very day? Week before? FL: My calendar is very busy. Basically saw invite and went to the meeting.
Are we really expected to believe this government is so corrupt or incompetent that they’re saying in open court there is/was no one in a project management role for something this big? Yet more proof Trump is a really lousy business man.
JR: Who can I call for costs associated at this juncture? FL: Idk that anyone has JR: Any kind of budget before work was undertaken or no? FL: General contract estimate put together to remove the trees JR: How much? FL: I do not recall JR: Who would? FL: No one I know you cld call immediately
Can someone explain how or if these are 2 separate things? A judicially approved search warrant does not sound the same as a DOJ approved warrant. To me, at least? But I admit to inherent anti-DOJ bias. https://www.npr.org/2026/10/12/nx-s1-5998856/federal-agents-search-congressperson-home-dc-doj
DJT on the wrong side of a TREE LAW case? Oh, this could get really funny.
BREAKING: Trump administration cut down more than 500 trees on Saturday at the East Potomac Golf Course after giving less than a full-day notice, with more tree-cutting planned, so plaintiffs challenging the effort went to court seeking a TRO tonight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
We get to just make up meanings to words now? This man went to a motherfucking Ivy League school and “socialism is foreign workers and ’transing’ toddlers” because why?
Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports
“Trust me. After a while, they just somehow catch on. Even if you’re really sneaky about it.”
TAPPER: Trump wants to send checks from the Medicare Improvement Fund, which the CBO says is supposed to be used for insurance programs. Do you have concerns about that? RICK SCOTT: I'm sure it's gonna have to be used the right way or they won't be able to do it. Somebody will stop them.
Will not fedpost. Will not fedpost. Will not fedpost. Will not fedpost. Will not fedpost. Will not fedpost. Will not fedpost. Will not fedpost. Will not fedpost.
Samuel Alito: We won't overturn Obergefell because it's engendered reliance interests. Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade. Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."
Can’t complain about “fake news” or a hit piece if they just report exactly what he said. So they did. This is the way. It can’t be sane-washed and objectively demonstrates his mental incapacity.
I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

This is always how it goes. The accused are allowed to ruthlessly and relentlessly smear the victims while engaging in a supposedly fair and just legal process that retraumatizes and creates fresh trauma for victims who are already supposed life altering, sometimes permanent consequences of rape

Another man accused, Scott Norris, denies that he partook in sexual misconduct but acknowledges in his own statement that misconduct took place. The men are already contradicting each other but I doubt any of them will be held accountable for making false statements while accusing the survivor of it

Whoever is keeping the 2029 master list: Once he’s out, however he goes, the title of President or even Former President must be stripped from him for eternity. I don’t care if it takes a constitutional amendment, referring to him w/that title s/b illegal. Penalty to be a fine scaled to income.
Trump complains about the Supreme Court over its refusal to meddle in Missouri election law on 3 occasions. He is also factually wrong as it was only 2 times that the court blocked lower court judges. In the other it refused to block a ruling by the Missouri Supreme Court interpreting state law.

I’m not a war-knower or defense guru, but it seems to me spending large amounts of the defense budget on a vanity arch while simultaneously depleting our strategic weapons reserve is bad, generally. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/09/21/congress/trump-arch-pushback-01086147
Oh, so lying about the press, *to* the press, is where we draw the line and start pushing back? Good to know.
KARL: Do you support Trump banning news organizations because he doesn't like what they're reporting? SCALISE: Look, Biden removed the press credentials from 400 agencies KARL: That's not true. 400 reporters who had credentials didn't reapply. They weren't banned from the WH. That did not happen.

There is in option for Louisiana’s 1st District other than someone who tells constant lies told on live TV. I’m running for the seat Steve Scalise has held the last 18 years. My name is Lauren Jewett. I’m a special education teacher running to protect our coast, healthcare, & the working class.

Saying this to North Carolina, at the beginning of hurricane season, should be impeachable—at minimum. Because he’s already proven it won’t be rhetorical hyperbole.
Trump: "We spent more than $2 billion in FEMA funding. You're waiting for some additional funding. I'm gonna get that to you. Now if Michael loses, I'm not sending it." Crowd: *groans*
