Trump's "friendship" with Roy Cohn makes more and more sense every day

But telling Susan Collins to "shut up" is the real scandal 🙄

If McConnell is going to keep calling in dead for work he should be required to get a note from his coroner

Algae immediately forming on the Reflecting Pool was so predictable I'm surprised Susan Collins didn't assure us that she didn't believe it would happen.

Not only would Joe Biden never dream of missing his son's wedding, he'd be the most likely candidate for being chosen as the best man.

So ICE is going to check your ID before they check it at the counter, and then again during the screening process - while being paid with money they don't have for TSA? NEVER underestimate the ability of the Trump WH to break something even more. Making stuff worse is all they know.

I'm gonna feel like shit when Trump finally kicks it. I bet it takes a week to recover from the hangover.

Forget Trump's hate speech last night. There was nothing new in there. Don't bother wasting any oxygen on it. This is the story EVERYONE should be covering

MAGA 1776: If you didn't want to get shot in the face, you should have let the British soldiers kick you out of your home so they could quarter there.

Trump wants us to pretend he can rename things. Like he expects people to pretend he wins his golf tournaments. Or pretend the fake Time magazines are real. Or pretend that he's 249 pounds. Adults (not acting in a show) that play pretend are mentally ill. It's time to acknowledge that.

Just a reminder ...

GOP prayer only policy creates opportunities to be in multiple mass shootings

Stack? Is that what he's calling Bubba these days?

If an ACA subsidy bill does come up, watch Republicans tack on poison pills like a National Abortion Ban and then just sit there and laugh about following through on their promise.

East Wing 1902 - 2025 RIP Here it is in 1906

MAGA: You can't tear down Confederate monuments. That's history and heritage. (Trump bulldozes the East Wing of the WH) MAGA:《crickets》

I saw this on X and think it’s a great idea. I love the name @harrisonstarr.bsky.social

Do you know what is WAY cheaper than funding ICE, building concentration camps, renting foreign prison space, and flying people there? Creating a path for citizenship or permanent residency. It's 100% more moral, too.

What's the math on a path to citizenship? If you've been here for a decade plus, raised a family, have a job, pay taxes, and contribute to your community - why are we so gung-ho on maximum cruelty? What's the point? They were born somewhere else - so what. They've made a life here. Let it go.

Biden: We'll have a "cancer moonshot so we can end cancer as we know it. Because we can do it!" Trump: We're canceling all cancer research and bringing back all that wonderful asbestos.

MAGA: Stop saying Trump is destroying democracy he's doing no such thing! Noem (Today): "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders" -- Has the US Senator from California handcuffed for interrupting her.

GOP: They should come to the country legally by going through the proper process! Also GOP: We're going to court houses and deporting people who are going through the proper process Also Also GOP: It's too hard to deport them legally, so we're not going to follow that process

The GOP is the party of debt and death. When they are in power, both are sure to happen in greater numbers

Cruelty is the point ...

By making international students unwelcome in the US, Trump would be removing $44 BILLION from the US economy. Those students will take their dollars elsewhere, and other nations will influence and shape them and be the beneficiaries of their talents. The stupidity on this is off the charts.

Joe Biden already beat a cancer back in 2020. He's got this.

Poor man wanna be rich Rich man wanna be king And a king ain’t satisfied 'Til he rules everything -~ Bruce Springsteen, Badlands (1978)

Trump has never had to buy and prepare his own food. His cult sees him as this "man of the people" - but the real story is that the whole idea of "groceries" is a foreign concept to him.

Even the GOP's "War on Christmas" was projection.

After the conclave chooses a Pope from the list of Cardinals, Trump rallies will have a whole new section where he complains that the vote was rigged.

Raiding a home of US citizens with an inaccurate search warrant. Is this how we make America great? By violating people's 4th Amendment rights?

It's only socialism when it's from the Democratic region of government proposals. Otherwise, it's a sparkling Republican subsidy.

The Stages of a Failing Trump Argument STAGE 1: We don't have to give him due process STAGE 2: He doesn't deserve due process STAGE 3: We won't be giving due process to others either STAGE 4: He got as much due process as (insert strawman) STAGE 5: We believe he got due process

Did JD Vance have anything to do with the death of Pope Francis? Of course not. But, I'm going to play by the FOX News "What if this was Hillary Clinton" rules and spend the next week "just asking questions" about it.

"No PERSON ... shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without DUE PROCESS of law" ~ From the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution

GOP: Denying an innocent man due process and shipping him to a foreign death camp is really not a big deal. There's no reason to return him. Besides he was a (insert long vomit of lies) Also GOP: Visiting the wrongly deported man is disgusting grandstanding and un-American.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

So, in the left picture is a criminal who got every part of due process awarded to him and never saw a jail cell - and in right is a guy who is not a criminal, got no due process, and was shipped to a foreign death camp. A thanks to the WH for this comparison. It's very enlightening.

Harvard is finding out that when you tell Trump "no," he'll try even harder to grab your genitals. And when he does, he'll tell us that they let him do it. Because when you're the president, you can do anything. Just ask Chief Enabler Roberts.

GOP: We're purposely harming the economy every which way we can! WSJ: If the economy is hurting, blame the consumers

Trump: We're going to make Canada the 51st state, annex Greenland, and invade Panama to take back the canal Also Trump: There is no way to get that guy back from El Salvador

So, is Justice Roberts going to stand up for his branch of the government - or is he just going to cowardly stay quiet hoping this all blows over? I'm guessing the latter. He may have no enforcement mechanism. But, he shouldn't let this go without a statement - even a weak ineffectual one.

MEDIA: We have no evidence, so let's speculate as to whether Biden has Parkinson's or dementia .... TRUMP: I'm 6'3", 224 pounds and my "frequent victories in golf events" (at the golf course I own) prove my superior health MEDIA: The White House reports that Trump is in perfect health!

The next big organized rallies should be held in front of media outlets. Major newspapers, cable and local TV stations, regional news offices - all of them. Impore them to do their jobs. They deserve the same wrath we are aiming at the political class. Give them a day, too.

Trump: We're the all-powerful USA!. No one tells us what to do! We tell others what they will do for us - and them make them do it! And, they will be sorry if they don't. Also Trump: We can't get that guy back from El Salvador. There's just no way to do it.

The Trump doesn't want Abrego Garcia back, because 1) It keeps the media attention on their f-up - and their indifference to making it right 2) When he gets back, we'll get a first hand account about how horrendous that place is I wish I had more faith there will be happy ending.

Outsmarting the GOP on matters of economics is a pretty low bar, but congratulations to the penguins on their trade war win.
