When he was a congressman Sean Duffy, voted against funding for the FAA, opposing the 2019 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.

JD Vance’s younger brother is losing in an absolute landslide in the Cincinnati mayor election after JD endorsed him.

Republicans: we have REAL problems like children shitting in litter boxes like cats. That's why we introduced the FURRIES Act. Once again, Republicans solving problems that don't exist while ignoring actual problems.

This is Texas .. Representative Stan Gerdes - District 17. Embarrassing Texas . A Furries act.... Gerdes could not find an example. The bill was left pending in committee. youtu.be/aUnEe5bBX2s?...

Does Texas GOP really have nothing better to do than harp on a four year old fabricated story about furries and kids using litter boxes in classrooms? There are real problems happening right now that need their utmost attention, and this is what they are taking up time doing.

FOX NEWS ALERT: Mike Waltz out as Trump's national security adviser

Arkansas, which voted 64% for Trump, begs his administration for FEMA assistance after getting smashed by fourteen tornadoes. He said no. 🫣🐆

The Trump administration literally just cut the contract for ongoing audits of the Prison Rape Elimination Act, the extremely bipartisan law (unanimously passed in 2003) that requires jails and prisons to take rape seriously and adopt policies designed to make it less likely to happen.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

DOJ provides no new information on Abrego Garcia but says if he manages to return to the US, they'll detain him and remove him to a different country (not El Salvador) or seek to "terminate" his order of removal and send him back to El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Donald Trump has denied North Carolina's request for an extension of FEMA relief for damage from Hurricane Helene because hurricanes blow, but Trump sucks.

Letter from Dem Senator Chris Van Hollen (MD) requesting a meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele To discuss MD father Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return "If Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release."

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

No one can place trust in matters governed by a lunatic.

Does he know this will involve shining a light inside the body like he wanted to do to prevent Covid

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

One minute Trump had us assembling iPhones and building robots, and now that’s off and he wants us to be coal miners instead.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

Save Social Security. Save Medicaid. Fire Elon Musk.

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause. And what did Republicans in the House do today? They passed a budget resolution that paves the way for more tax cuts for the rich. "Party of the working class."

* BESSENT: 90-DAY PAUSE BECAUSE TRUMP WANTS TO BE INVOLVED

China today branded US Vice President JD Vance ignorant and disrespectful after he claimed that America was borrowing money from “Chinese peasants.”

NEWS: Chief Justice John Roberts has issued an administrative stay pausing the court order requiring Kilmer Abrego Garcia, a man wrongfully sent to an El Salvadoran prison camp, to be returned by midnight tonight.

Leavitt: "We are encouraging illegal immigrants to actively self-deport to maybe save themselves from being in one of these fun videos."

Is this a new tariff day or a tariff pause day? It’s tough to keep up.

Wonder why Todd Starnes needed to specifically mention it’s an HBCU? Also, I’m pretty sure KayLeigh has no idea what’s going on 85% of the time 😭

What we are living through right now is simply not normal.

Imagine if Joe Biden had reposted a liberal pundit saying ‘shut up about gas prices’ in 2022. It would have led the news, all of the news, for days, weeks, on end.
