Every bit of this 👇

An absolutely brutal supercut for Trump. On February 1, 2023: "If I were president, I'd be able to negotiate an end to this horrible and rapidly escalating war in 24 hours" Today: "I think it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine"

Tillis is a Trump enabler who is trying to cash in on a twinge of regret without acknowledging the role he played in getting us into the terrible mess we are in. It's like an unrepentant menace to society trying to bullshit his way past the parole board.

This is the ’make me’ administration. It’s time for courts to wield all of the power they have, no matter what the Supreme Court does in response.

Add Ukraine to what Trump will destroy...

They all knew ahead of time who he is...

Just gonna share this again.

When a senior member of our family started repeatedly doing embarrassing things that showed obvious signs of mental illness, we got professional treatment for him. But then, there were no cowardly Senate Majority Leaders, Speakers of the House, or toadie cabinet members in our family.

Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.

Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

WTF Blance, are you White House Counsel too?

You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.

BREAKING: STATEMENT ON DOJ’S DISMISSAL OF CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST DAVEY HEARN

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

What utter bs. All this the nprm's I've seen make it frictionless to comment. Not this one. So I emailed my comment and was pretty matter of fact straight forward with my comments.

I would like a side-by-side account of the cost of: the Iran war, the reflecting pool, the ballroom, the Qatari plane, the WWE fight; DOJ settlement payoffs (like to Ashli Babbitt) and any other vanity projects I'm missing; compared with all of the "waste and fraud" supposedly saved by the DOGE cuts

The extent of Trump's destruction of Washington, D.C., is truly stunning. It's the ultimate metaphor. The algae-infested Reflecting Pool. The destroyed grass from the UFC event. The bulldozed East Wing grounds. "86 47" etched into the lawn near the Reflecting Pool. REUTERS/Aaron Schwartz

Ugh even when network TV does something good & is actually adversarial & forceful like it should be, it has to add a caveat so they don’t seem “biased” - in this case “we both acknowledged the complications” of the rain in setting up the interview. What does that fucking mean & who gives a shit?!

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home. (Published Dec. 2025)

Here’s the deal for those confused: “America 250” is the bipartisan celebration committee. “Freedom 250” is a Trump organization celebrating him masquerading as a celebration of America. The concert was Freedom 250. Hence the cancellations

These are lawless violent vigilantes, not “patriots” or “martyrs.” Trump has already pardoned them. They most certainly should not now get paid from Trump’s proposed $1.7B fund.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

I'm really struggling to understand how an alleged attempted assassination of Trump at a DC hotel translates into a need for a billion dollars of upgraded security at the White House.

How can he possibly stay safe without a ballroom?

On top of everything else, he’s the pettiest little prick to ever live.

For his entire life, every word out of his mouth has been a lie. And the media stopped caring a long time ago that he lies as he breathes. Hopefully one day soon the American people will say they’re tired of being lied to every single day.

Trump cuts in front of Queen Camilla to shake some hands

Adam D. Thompson, The New Yorker

The plan is to blame Biden for Trump's catastrophic fuck-up.

Just a reminder that for all their big talk, DOJ is 0-4 in lawsuits to obtain state voter files. My law firm is 4-0.😎 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸

No matter how bad he gets and no matter what he does, Republicans in Congress will never stand up to him or speak out because some agree with him on everything and the rest are spineless cowards.

TRUMP: “Do everything I ask or I’ll bomb you back into the Stone Age!” IRAN: “How about, instead, you do everything we ask and we’ll call it a day?” TRUMP: “Deal.” FOX NEWS: “Awesome Trump is the world’s most masterful negotiator!”

Exactly this.

Trump practically told our allies to f-off — that we didn’t need them, that the U.S. had already “won.” Now he’s begging them for help.

This is our country. Donald Trump doesn't own America. He doesn't own the White House. Everything he does relies on our money. We depend on Congress to represent our interests. They are failing us by allowing him to exploit our money for his personal interests. He & his party of sycophants must go.

“Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., the president’s sons, are backing a new drone company that is vying to meet fresh demand from the Pentagon and fill a hole left by the administration’s ban on new Chinese drones in the U.S.” Heather Somerville for @wsj.com

No, the US began shit talking us, slapping us with tariffs and threatening our sovereignty. We Canadians didn't do anything. Don't blame us for this shit. Elbows up, 🍁

Truly a mystery

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol
