GOP Rep. Randy Fine says he's been open to deporting Melania Trump and Elon Musk if it turns out they lied on their paperwork

The difference is staggering. Obama's speech feels like he's ready to take on another term (and oh how I wish it were possible) Trump's speech feels like nobody could be bothered enough to protect grampa, old & demented, from going on stage. This still the leader you want for your country, MAGA?

This is not how American democracy should function. It’s getting worse every election, not better. I know constitutional amendments are difficult, but it seems like there should be a bipartisan supermajority of citizens who say enough with this stuff.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Being Ukrainian and hearing US envoy Witkoff actually calling Putin ‘humanitarian’ (?!) while he bombs my people is disturbing on a new level of disturbing I didn’t know it could reach .

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?

This is a child's mentality towards living in a country. If you want to do whatever you want whenever you want, go live in the woods of Alberta away from social services, community support, and healthcare. Absolutely immature nonsense.

Three Facts: 1) Tommy wasn't a voter. He was a Christian Nationalist plant by Josh Hawley. 2) Tommy isn't worried religious law superseding our Constitution. He admitted he's trying to enact Christian Shariah above the Constitution.

3) Zero corporate media outlets will report on how the Muslim Senate Candidate is running to uphold the Constitution, and the Christian sitting Senator is governing to enforce Christian Shariah. They're not afraid of losing our Constitution. They're afraid of competition.

... of the Oval Office, a direct act of treasonous subversion by a Russian asset handpicked and manipulated by Putin to dismantle everything we hold dear. He must be removed, by any constitutional means necessary, before the collapse is irreversible. 2/End

Putin's Trojan Horse The survival of the free world is locked in a zero-sum war of attrition: either Donald Trump is permanently stripped of power, or American democracy is extinguished. Trump's presidency is not politics — it is an unprecedented foreign infiltration of the Oval Office... 1/2

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

We see no indication from Russia that it wants to end this war, or pursue any form of truce or peace. That's why we need to help Ukrainians get through winter and defend their country. Ukrainians need more air defence. We need to increase pressure on Russia to make it clear they have to negotiate.

I picked chestnuts from my neighbors’ trees and then tried to sell them to my neighbors, including the neighbors from whom I stole. I was six years old. Realizing now this is the same business model as AI.

Records show that Trump hasn’t paid a single dollar out of his own pocket for the ballroom, despite repeatedly insisting that he was going to pay for it when the project was announced. But if you go to a Trump rally the attendees will insist that he paid for the whole thing.

Trump can't figure out how to control inflation or end his disastrous war, but he assures voters that Jon Husted has a nice ass.

Trump on Jon Husted: "I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body, because I didn't know he was a great athlete ... I looked at his ass"
