"Look at the last 3 GOP presidents. One oversaw a double-dip recession with a savings & loans scandal that looted the Treasury. That was Bush I. Another oversaw near meltdown of the whole capitalist system. That was Bush II. Then the next presided over a pandemic-driven collapse. That was Trump I."

Lunacy. Here's Emmer 10 years ago.
Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

Love to invent incredibly unlikely threats, set off a massive war that does serious damage to U.S. interests at obscene fiscal costs to fight that incredibly unlikely threat, then declare victory on a claim that the incredibly unlikely threat now definitely won't happen.
Burgum: "Now with the threat of having a terrorist group having a nuclear weapon and their will to use it, their desire to use it, is gonna be a game-changer for America and exciting times ahead"

THEY'RE SO SHINY YOU CAN SEE A REFLECTION OF YOURSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD GROCERIES!
Trump: "Re-gilding of the massive Arts of War sculptures, located between The Lincoln Memorial and site of The Triumphal Arch, rapidly continues. The sculptures will be fully regilded by July 3. The photos were taken yesterday. The Gilders’ Studio has flown in Gilders from around the Country!"

Trump announces Iran exit strategy: “We’ll go through Cuba” theonion.com/bush-announc...
Trump on Cuba: "It's sort of collapsed. And we're gonna handle that as soon as we finish-- I like to do one thing at a time. We'll take care of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and as son as that is done, on our way, back we'll just make a brief stopover."

My opponents are all communists. In unrelated news, my government will be taking ownership of the means of production.
Trump says he's interested in govt taking equity stakes in the giant AI companies like OpenAI or Anthropic: "There's something very interesting about it, where it almost becomes a partnership. The American people can benefit from the success of AI, and by doing that, they're gonna like it better."

Shut Delaney Hall down, NOW. Today, @menendez.house.gov and I went to Delaney Hall because of the inhumane conditions we've been hearing about. What I saw and heard is absolutely unacceptable.

Absolutely devastating and enraging reporting out of Texas from the @nytimes.com local investigations fellowship. Warning: If you care about children, this one is a hard read. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The insurrectionist pedophile in question is Andrew Paul Johnson and it is public record that he tried to silence his victim(s) with promises of Trump millions for J6.
VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest 2 children, & he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout? BLANCHE: You're obviously lying V: I am reporting what he said
When you take a chainsaw to agencies like FEMA then put incompetent lunatics at the top of what is left, this is what you get It matters who runs the federal government folks and it’s no surprise this is the outcome of electing a lifelong conman and pathological liar
FEMA’s top official said that the “vast majority” of calls were answered during the deadly Texas floods. But new data indicates that the agency failed to answer 58% of the calls, and the average wait was 61 minutes at the peak.

Our entire system of government is inherently broken
I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.
