So when is the press going to start asking Republicans if they support Pedolf’s illegal promise of $5,000 checks for voting only if Republicans win?

Taco on US control of the Venezuelan oil industry: “It’s going to make a lot of money. We’re going to give money to the people.” The profits of US oil companies matter more to him than the good of the American people, so who thinks he cares one bit for the Venezuelan people? More lies and damn lies.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announces another boat strike in response to a request/wish from Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet.

“Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley - described as ‘a leader of courage, integrity, professionalism and unmatched skill’” IF he was those things, the “gold standard”, he would have refused to carry out the first strike, let alone the second. Refusing an illegal order requires courage and inegrity.

Just a reminder of what the Republicans do. They hate the small guy and worship the oligarchy.

Did you know: Congressmen and women have been paid twice (they’re paid monthly) since the govt shut down. $30,000 gross each. Meanwhile Trump trying to stop food stamp payments while he has parties. And @SpeakerJohnson still has everyone on vacay

It seems that there is a 5-10 point swing from Republican to Democratic tonight. I’m wondering if some of the Republican gerrymandering won’t turn into a “dummymander” where they spread their votes so thinly that their seemingly safe districts flip due to a large swing in districts voting pattern.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

The government is shutdown, and millions of Americans are about to go without food and/or medicine because of him. So what does Donald Trump do? Keeps bragging about his $300,000,000 golden ballroom and throws a Great Gatsby party at his private resort. He is so stupidly tone-deaf.
