JD Vance says he doesn't care if the candidate he supports is exploiting a family tragedy in which a 12-year-old girl was raped.

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

Under Biden's Solar for All program, $117 million in federal money was set to go to Indiana for solar, battery, & microgrid projects. Tens of millions of those dollars were headed to Gary, to improve its resilience. Then Trump canceled the program & yanked back all the money.

I can no longer in good faith recommend anyone to study in the US, or stay stateside for work and further education after completing degree programs they had started during the Biden era. US higher ed is unrecognizable even compared to a year ago when ICE was kidnapping students from their homes

Jesus Christ: UC Berkeley international students will no longer be allowed to complete internships or co-ops for course credit unless they form an “integral part of an established curriculum,” following repeated threats from ICE. This is going to send shockwaves across SF and Silicon Valley

Hey, remember when the head of GM -- which is, totally coincidentally, the manufacturer of the Cadillac Escalade -- introduced Trump at his political rally yesterday?

Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.

GM CEO Mary Barra is introducing Trump at his rally. Something to keep in mind if you're in the market for a vehicle anytime soon.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth will... not be at SOTU. "America deserves better than this president and the bullshit he's going to say tonight," she says. "I refuse to attend Trump's address this evening bc I'm not interested in sitting there & watching Republicans stroke his fragile ego for hours on end."

Every Thursday Mike Johnson secretly attends underground gay rave under nickname Dildo Elmo. You can see it on his face. Can I prove it? No.

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

I'm going to hope the only reason this asshole isn't covered with beer and nachos is because these fans don't know that "88" is white supremacist code for "Heil Hitler" and that the word "NATIONALIST" is in white for a reason.
