America is now on the clock. We have two weeks to remove Donald Trump from office through the 25th Amendment or impeachment. Not saying that will happen, only saying that a nation with even a shred of decency would get to work on it immediately.

Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline. He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office. Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

Bondi on the Epstein investigations that Trump demanded: "We're not gonna say anything else on that because now it is a pending investigation in SDNY"

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

Megyn: The law recognizes no difference between raping an 8-year-old and raping a 15-year-old. Both victims are underage and therefore unable to provide consent. And you are an awful person for using that distinction to explain away the rape of underage girls. You wouldn't do that for Bill Clinton.

Jeffrey Epstein in 2015: "Have them ask my houseman about donald almost walking through the door leaving his nose print on the glass as young women were swimming in the pool and he was so focused he walked straight into the door."

We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Yes, in a general election, I would vote for ANY Democrat right now. I said ANY. I'm sure in 1930's Germany there were liberal "purists" who sat things out with angry arms folded. Look how that worked out for everyone.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Where are all the MAGA cultists who ranted endlessly when egg prices went up under Biden? They’re quiet as a church mouse now — even though grocery prices are up, housing costs are up, household furnishing costs are up, and electricity prices are through the roof. Maybe it was never about prices? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Interesting. Now that polling shows that voters are largely blaming the GOP for the shutdown, Trump is calling for the Senate to use the nuclear open and reopen the government. Before, he was telling us he GOP to “hold firm” and not cave to anything Dems wanted.

Gov. Pritzker on Federal agents swarming a Halloween parade in Chicago: “Don't believe it when they tell you that they're busting the worst of the worst, gangs, or gang members. They're attacking peaceful neighborhoods and terrorizing kids in Halloween parades.”
