🤮🤮🤮🤮 Email from Trump in my mailbox this morning bragging about "a One-Time Payment of $90 to offset some of the cost of your October Medicare premium." And then going on and on about how he is the best. WTF!! This only reminds me how fucked up our healthcare is and $90 not gonna un-fuck it.

And then he says that he is excited because Republicans delivered. Oh, boy…they sure did. Here we go:: - higher prices on everything - creeping inflation - war with no end - corruption as far as the eye can see - more violence, less healthcare - measles - explosive diarrhea And list goes on…

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu One side wants fascism. The other side wants healthcare as a human right. To even attempt to conflate the two is absurd.

“I don't know what the hell that means" is basically his motto.

"That's what they give me to read, so what can I tell you? ... I don't know what the hell that means" -- Trump is surprised by the stuff he's straight up reading from the text that was prepared for him

Trump should change the last sentence in his post to “Thank you for believing any crap I tell you”. Because his supporters do deserve a thank you for being so eager to be fooled.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

I had to double check that this wasn’t fake. Is there a single person in the world (other than Axios) who takes this utter nonsense seriously at this point?

American psycho… So orange, so sweaty, so dumb (and hey, he just learned that “dumb” ends with the “b”, so a tiny bit less dumb now!)

Hopefully, he will die before the anniversary and then these cretins will be in the clear. No living President on the bill!

Brant Reeves@bireeves95.bsky.social

It’s just a game to them, Americans are just Pawns in this sick, Demented game they Pretend is Governing….

Is it too late for MAGA to learn this “deep critical thinking” she is talking about? They can really use some!

Senator Bernie Sanders@sanders.senate.gov

Call me a radical, but NO. We should not be replacing teachers in America with robots. We should attract the best and brightest in our country to become teachers and pay them the decent wages that they deserve.

Yes! Prepare for an avalanche of angry, crazy “truths” from Orange Felon. No doubt he will claim voter fraud after he voted by mail in this election.

Now let's get them off a government health insurance!

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com. Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Unhinged is an understatement. He should be in a straight jacket in a padded room and heavily sedated. Either that or straight to Hague.

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

This is completely unhinged

How big is this "meal square"? 2"x2"? 3"x3"? Also, adorable how she is pretending that they run any simulations at all by giving the precise $$ number. Not $15, not $16, but $15.64. Yeah, right.

emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social

Isn't basically this a confession she was (and is) wrong about the $3 meal. If she weren't, then $13 would be enough for a day. She was off by 17%. Or something. Probably used Grok the first time.

And by “we are the hottest country in the world” he means we are going up in flames. This is how “hot” we are.

Bessent on Greenland: "Peace through strength. Make it part of the US and there will not be a conflict because the US right now, we're the hottest country in the world, we're the strongest country in the world. Europeans project weakness. The US projects strength."

What? Either delete the post or resign? How about simply resign? Deleting the post does not delete his views and is not a remedy. Even after deleting, Bovino would remain a POS who is completely wrong for the job. Dems messaging really suck.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

How convenient. Give these fascists the whole week to hide any signs of detainees’ mistreatment. I hope Dems will challenge this in court.

These cowards can’t say anything that may upset their master. If it about the health of the patient, then you can certainly say that you regret voting for a person who makes policies that endanger health of the patient. Simple.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

FOX NEWS: Do you regret voting to confirm RFK Jr? CASSIDY: I'd rather not make this personal. It should be about the health of the patient.

I believe this “some point” is now.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Hope he won’t live long enough to see his stupidity ballroom monstrosity completed. “Bullet proof glass and drone proof ceilings” won’t save him from kicking the bucket naturally.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

What does Trump think is going to happen at the next inauguration?

Truly Stephen Miller’s shitty half. Not better half, hot worse half, just as shitty as him. Match made in hell.

JD Vance’s tell when he’s about to tell a giant lie is he uses the word “fact.” If he says “simple fact,” the next thing he says will be nuclear grade gaslighting. Every time.

My state of NC currently has 10 Republicans in the House of Representatives and not one voted to restore subsidies. Not one. Assholes.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

JUST NOW: 17 republicans voted with Dems to restore lapsed Obamacare subsidies and keep health care costs from skyrocketing. (0 from Tennessee) www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Someone…anyone, please come and arrest/remove the Orange POS and all his grifting family from the White House and/or Mar-a-Lago (wherever they are squatting). Apparently, this is totally legal now. Don’t wait until he sets the rest of the world on fire.

Venezuela stole our oil and land?!! I wonder how did they manage to do that? Black magic? Another deranged post from a demented guy…what a freaking embarrassment.

Can the President be presidential? Not any more than cow dung can be presidential (no offense to cow dung).

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social

CNN: Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) on Trump’s post on Rob Reiner: “I’d expect to hear something like this from a drunk guy at a bar, not the President of the United States. Can the President be presidential?”

We don't know who they are, where they are, where their headquarters are, how many are there, what acts of terror they committed or if they committed any such acts, but yeah, all our "data" point to this mystical as hell Antifa being a ginormous terrorist threat. LOL.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?
