Honestly, he's a depraved, disgusting excuse of a human.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

Trump on Ilhan Omar: "It's amazing that she can get elected, but Somalians vote for her. Most of them shouldn't be here" (Omar's district is largely white)

Apparently being a traitor is merely monetizing your own hideous brand.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

This reporter really went off the rails. Surely as a senior CBS correspondent she had to have known better? One more nail in the coffin of a once respected network.

Hearing from my sources that this "over the top" tweet from Jan Crawford is being discussed internally at CBS. At the same time, as those same sources noted, "Jan is protected by Bari" and has been a very vocal acolyte of Weiss. "She just can't help herself," one network insider said.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Here are the details: literally any time, any place, any network.

Fox host: President Trump said you all should have a debate… Is that in the works? Are you requesting one with him? Ken Paxton (lying): Oh well, no, look... We can never quite work out the details.

Good job CBS, you wrecked the Saturday morning show by putting bland hosts in place, and now you feature that traitor Steve Bannon on Sunday? I have officially quit ur weekday show, 60 minutes, and now all weekend shows. Bye, done!

What a moment of empathy for military families. Loathsome.

Trump on his meeting with Gold Star families: "I invited them out to check out the new helipad, check out the new ballroom, and check out the new helicopter"

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Gotta appreciate the frankness of Larry going in to his barber and asking for The Lucifer.

The past tells you a lot about the future: Larry Ellison and his nepo-mogul son have a long record of making promises they don't keep.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed by ICE agents after working in the U.S. for 35 years. His sons, Ronaldo and Lorenzo Jr., testified before Congress and reminded us that this rogue agency MUST be held accountable for its horrific actions.

The Kennedy Center was financially stable until Trump took over: "In the fiscal year ending in 2024, when the center was led by President Deborah Rutter and a bipartisan board of trustees, it brought in about $40 million more than it spent" www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

WE CAN WIN KANSAS. ICYMI— This debate 🔥 Adam Hamilton won over the crowd. Incumbent Republican Roger Marshall did his best, and still got booed, jeered and heckled by the people he represents.

Very interesting convo on #JacobSoboroff. As a former Tarrant county voter, I presented my voter registration card upon checking, I was additionally asked for a driver's license. I complied, but had zero clue why I needed to provide that, other than I had a D listed next to my name.

#FaceTheNation just announced a full slate of Republican synchophants this morning, with Margaret Brennan's opening statement asking "what will DEMOCRATS do about AFFORDABILITY?" Maggie, not sure if you know REPUBLICANS are in charge of EVERY branch of government?

"Vlad, let's always remember 2026! Until our next grift session, all the best, yours in bitcoin, S. Witkoff".

Kate from Kharkiv@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social

Witkoff: "President Putin, thank you so much for having us. We were sitting outside just now, me, Jared, Kirill, Yuri, and we were talking about, when we retire, we'll have all these incredible stories and memories, and yours will be right at the top of it all."

So Todd Blanche is inviting insurrectionists to the Justice Department?

Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social

A January 6 rioters who filmed himself drinking Fireball in Nancy Pelosi's office visited another government office this week: Todd Blanche's. It sure doesn't sound like the payout fund for insurrectionists is dead.

If only we could squeeze a little more blood out of stone, and exhaust, stress and demean those over age 65, we could REALLY line our pockets even more!

Dear Supreme Court: this is all on you, and John Roberts, may you forever be dragged through mud for subjecting the entire nation to a mentally unstable sociopath with unchecked power.

Trump: "Kristen Welker, the Unpopular 'Hostess' of Meet the Fake Press, just stated that Donald Trump has 'mixed results' on Endorsements... Bc of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to FCC for rebuke or punishment... I hope Brendan Carr takes this Threat to our Country very seriously."

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

Our troops could be using UNSAFE or INEFFECTIVE weapons because of Pete Hegseth. That's right. Hegseth gutted the office that tests weapons. @norcross.house.gov and I are pressing Hegseth to reverse these cuts. We shouldn’t unnecessarily risk troops’ lives and our national security.

Are we changing childhood vaccine schedules because this psychopath is afraid of needles?

Trump: "We're telling people when you get your shots for your young child, and this has to do we think with preventing autism, that you go to the doctor for five small shots instead of one big massive shots where those beautiful little bodies can handle it"

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

Anyone know how we can determine if we are being exposed to salmonella and other destructive intestinal issues?

I don’t know, man. At this point if you don’t know betrayal is the dude’s M.O. we can’t help you.

All of these Natalie Harp stories are leaking for one reason: Someone in the West Wing is sick of Harp’s shit. Probably just a coincidence that it’s all happening as Leavitt is leaving.

Gosh, anyone up for happy hour on the new White House helipad? President Circus Barker is giving a tour of his utter destruction of the grounds of the people's house. I hate him.
