Straight up calling out Trump. And Trump is too stupid to get it.

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Trump: "You know, the first question -- they have a lion, a snake, a giraffe, and a bear. And they say 'which is the snake?' ... by the time you get to number five a lot of people are left out on the road ... I get no credit for it."

May we never again elect a president that has to brag about passing the bare minimum of a dementia test in front of crowds in order to make himself feel better. What a colossal embarrassment for this country. #NoMoreOldWhiteMen2028

Trump: "The first one is they show you a lion, a bear, a snake, and a giraffe. And they say, 'Which one is the giraffe?' I got a perfect score."

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

Trump’s ex-chief of staff John Kelly said this to me, six years ago: “I don't know how he’s not in an institution somewhere, whether it’s jail or a nuthouse. He’s a seriously sick guy. I never heard him saying anything that wasn’t a lie.” Trump has only gotten worse since.

Take A.I. and chip stocks out of the index and the market is down 5.7% since late August. The S&P 500 is up 2.4% over the same stretch, chip stocks 16%. A.I. is holding the whole market up.

"When we focus on polarization as the problem, the solution is for everyone to quiet down and be 'civil'—an outcome that benefits those who are willing to grab as much power as they can without concern for legality or civility."🔥

A billionaire dictator who'll lose everything if the opposition replaces him on Jan. 20, 2029 is stockpiling killer drones and high-powered rifles on towering monuments and ballroom roofs I'm sure it's nothing to worry about

Trump‘s business acumen has always been vaporware. This dude couldn’t successfully run the local 7-11, much less a country. Had enough of touching the hot stove? Trump 1.0 was bumper bowling, with actual adults steering the ship. Trump 2.0 is all Trump, and he’s a fucking moron.

“We could do tremendous good for ourselves by just not trading with countries” — Trump’s bonkers view of trade is that you become wealthy by not engaging in commerce

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.

Trump is promising to boost the U.S. economy by making it harder for Americans to trade with the rest of the world. He is also promising to destroy Iran's economy by making it harder for Iranians to trade with the rest of the world.

Never let them forget: They hunted the vice president to kill him. They built a gallows on the Capitol lawn. They assaulted police officers with flagpoles and bear spray, and they tried to seize the presidency for Donald Trump.

President Trump famously disparaged military dead by calling them "losers" and "suckers," but apparently he doesn't care much for them when they're alive either.

What happened and "changed our children?" The reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in 1990s that and included autism as a covered disabilities. Schools had to report how many autistic students they served. Who was a cosponsor of that bill? RFK Jr.'s uncle Ted Kennedy.

RFK Jr on autism: "'Oh, we're just noticing it more.' But this is an absurdity ... if we were just noticing it more, we would notice it in older groups. But we're not ... so something happened in the mid '90s that changed our children"

The Trojan horse was a gift too. Air Force One never should have been gifted from another country. That raises serious corruption and national security concerns.
