EU must ban all of Elons products. That’s a betrayal of epic proportions.

President Donald Trump is increasingly unpopular, he has the country mired in a war he started for no reason, his economy isn't satisfying anyone except his oligarch buddies. Fox News' coverage now through the election is going to be ~100% fearmongering about commies, Muslims, and trans people.

BARTIROMO: Last time we spoke, you told me you were expecting 4% growth in the second half of the year. The number was way lower. How would you assess that? HASSETT: The reason why the number was 1.5% was because we imported so many capital goods because we're building factories so fast

But today in his cabinet meeting, Trump blamed it on American Democrats. Just as he has blamed things many times that Russia and China have done on Americans. He’s not a patriot, he’s the ultimate traitor.

Hard to believe this is from a guy who inherited $413 million from his father only to declare bankruptcy 6 times before convincing an NBC producer to bail him out by creating a fictional show that he was a successful businessman.

Tulsi Gabbard resigns, but the Trump bulldozer keeps rolling. Easy prediction: The next director of national intelligence will be more obedient, more gleeful to destroy the institutions and culture that made America safe.

Big day for criminals to get a windfall payout from taxpayer dollars so they can retire early and put their feet up after beating cops and smashing windows to storm the Capitol - orchestrated by Republicans. A transfer of money from hardworking law-abiding citizens to scum.

Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers. Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes. Wonder why that is?

Leavitt on reports that Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran to help them target US assets: "Whether or not this happened, frankly, it does not really matter"

Trump saying it is OK that Russia is helping Iran kill Americans has even the most MAGA-addled unable to respond. They have nowhere to go, except express blind loyalty to their master. If he says it, it must be right.

We are deeply concerned by reports that military commanders are framing the Iran war as “God’s plan” and invoking Armageddon in official briefings. Service members swear an oath to the Constitution — not to any religion. We are reviewing these reports and will demand accountability.

The Trump administration restored the Philadelphia slavery exhibit after judge set Friday deadline. Let’s be clear, they never should have been removed in the first place. This is the pattern: Trump tries to erase the history, gets caught, then quietly “restores” it. 1/2

As someone from a long line of Scots, this touches me so deeply. Crowds have gathered outside the US consulate in Edinburgh to protest the murder of Alex Pretti by ICE. Tapadh leibh to all the protesters who stand with the majority of Americans who are horrified by what is happening. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was intentionally trying to destroy the United States, how could you tell the difference?
