Everyone talks about a Blue Tsunami in the midterms, and his historically low approval numbers, and his absolute obsession with vanity projects while ignoring the economic and international disasters he created while doubling down on those decisions time and time again....I ask myself why would

idea that has been the fabric of our society for 100 years...SS, Medicare, paved roads, libraries, schools, the NFL and Major League Baseball for chrissakes...the question is what are we willing to do? If you want things to stay the same...you must embrace change. They are

How he erases the lessons of WWII and Vietnam, lessons I learned at the knee of relatives and friends that lived those experiences. Lessons, obscure and old fashioned to younger generations that Gen Z white men find nationalism and fascism a neat idea. We have lost our way. American exceptionalism

anyone do this? And then I remember when he said before the national election, "vote for me this time and you'll never have to vote again..." It will be blatant and obvious when it happens and what will we do? Nothing. We will do nothing. Those with no comfort and nothing to lose will be cannon

I remember watching Trump flip a coin for the college national championship in his first term. He lumbered to the 50 yard line, grabbed the coin, threw it in the air....it didn't flip once...it went straight up and landed without turning over. He raised his arm in a "wasn't that great?" gesture and

Face the Nation (Paraphrase) BRENNAN: He traveled from California to D.C. by train with weapons. Will the govt. address the ability to travel so freely by train as they did with the airline industry? BLANCHE: uh...uh...bee ba burr...we're not looking into changing laws or restricting gun rights.

Todd Blanche stepped in a bucket and is walking around with it on his foot on Face the Nation...You can see him riffing as Margaret Brennan asks him legitimate, objective questions...legitimate concerns that they NEVER thought of. Chaotic, shambolic; desperate.

My son in college said it best after Trump won..."Dad, It's not our lesson to learn." Trumpers were always convinced that TDS was about the power to bring misery to those that don't vote for them. I vote for leaders that bring American normalcy. We had it. It's gone. Rome burns, Nero fiddles.

He is committing global suicide because there is no escape from the Epstein files. If he goes we all go with him. He would rather die lying to himself and the world and he's okay with it.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

SOCIAL CIRCLE, GEORGIA...I grew up there. Have family, friends and roots in town and the area... a town of 5500 expected to support 10,000 detainees in April. How do you retro fit a mil. sq. ft. warehouse for sanitation for 10K in 60 days? They paid 100 MILLION over asking. Heartbreaking.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Can we put an end to this, already? I wanna return to the time when you only thought about government when you had to, news wasn't crafted by an opinion, people liked each other, and your biggest worry wasn't really worrisome, and laughter, laughter would be nice...an out of breath gut buster.

Listening to Mike Barnicle on Morning Joe this morning. I respect his opinion like no other. He exemplifies all the collegial Democratic values that I aspire to be...like anyone, he's not always correct yet is willing to remain flexible in his understanding. His core belief in the American

experiment is based on a lifetime of experience and reporting, an unshakable belief that good, bad, or indifferent, the U.S. is, in the end, a force for good. That is why it is heartbreaking to watch a man realize it is evaporating before his eyes. America's heart still beats. Keep fighting.

Thank you President Trump. By speaking to the generals, you've solidified military opposition to your regime. By speaking your internal monologue, those, in leadership, that hold this country's values dear are now galvanized against you. What a dolt.

I am old enough to remember Watergate...even at a young age I new that Nixon and the administration would not survive. It felt inevitable, no matter the shambolic attempts at cover-up. For the first time in my life since then...this feels the same.

Real estate puffery bleeds through every Trump assessment... Does it matter when you're selling a condo with an "ocean view" when you can barely see the water between two buildings? Not Earth shattering but shitty...but when you're telling the world a nuclear program is "obliterated" because you can

Alienating himself to our closest allies...the turd in the punch bowl president leaves the G7 abruptly...he'd rather start a war in the Middle East than talk to any of them or declare unwavering support for Ukraine ...America Alone..what are the odds that it will be G6 next time...are we great yet?

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.
