I voted for Trump. But when he said he was going to destroy the NIH, I didn’t know that he would end research into curing the cancer that will kill me within a few years.

We spent the last four years writing about the high price of eggs under Biden. Now that they’ve reached an all-time high under Trump we’ve moved on to other topics.

For the next 4 years, it's time for Democrats to stop being so eager to play nice and appease Republicans. They're not really Republicans any more. They are MAGA. If your name isn't Donald trump, they're not interested. They're not playing by the same rules. They're not playing by ANY rules.

Trump's putting the guy whose rockets explode and cars burst into flames in charge of government efficiency. Expect similar results.

“These fires were unstoppable,” every single firefight has said. The dry conditions, the 100 mph winds that grounded ALL air support the first 27 hrs, made these fires “unstoppable.” Choose to accept that hard truth or choose to be like Trump & Elon Musk and just get political & blame someone.

I'm tired of politicians getting in front of a microphone and trashing victims of disaster. I want to hear these privileged assholes tell us what they're going to do to help. I want to hear empathy, plans, and support. That's what they were elected to do. Otherwise they need to shut the fuck up.

Trump’s verdict remains. His status as a convicted felon remains. He just didn’t get punished with anything else per Judge Merchan because his presidency will start in 10 days. Trump ran for office to avoid the consequences of his crimes and it worked.

Donald Trump ran for office to avoid punishment for his crimes, and it worked. The fact still remains that he is a 34 times convicted felon.

Our country is about to be run by a convicted felon. Not just any convicted felon, but a singularly stupid one. Dark, dangerous days await us.

Stop being surprised and knock it off with the pearl clutching. We’ve known for years that Shitler is a tacky, vulgar, classless c%t. It isn’t news. It’s part of the brand. Instead, let’s get down to the business of stunting his regime’s progress and making his life unbearable.

Reps. Higgins and Biggs just introduced H.R.7 into the new Congress. What does HR7 seek to do? Well, despite its fluffy pro-women-sounding title, it is actually a demand for a nationwide abortion ban. Read that again. Summary here. Call your reps ASAP. www.tiktok.com/@usmcangryve...

One of the (many) bizarre things about covering the Jan. 6 docket is that some evidentiary videos ended up finding a home in my iPhoto library, right with all my other content. This one features Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who was hit with spray, had two strokes, and died hours later.

“STORM THE WHITE HOUSE! THAT’S WHAT WE DO!” — a Jan. 6 rioter storming the **checks notes** U.S. Capitol, four years ago today. I’d prefer that you read “Sedition Hunters: How January 6th Broke the Justice System,” but if forced to distill my book into a six second video, this is it. a.co/d/2HWEnBs

January 6th was an attack on democracy. Anybody who says otherwise is a traitor to this country

Jan 6th is a reminder to me: cowardice spreads like wildfire… this country needs leaders who are willing to tell the people the truth, not pander to lies

Once again, in Trump’s latest crazy rant, he says the U.S. is “a laughingstock all over the world.” No, Donald, with your election, no one is laughing anymore. Because it’s not funny.

UNFUN FACT: There is no catastrophe so great, no tragedy so horrifying, that a Republican politician wouldn't use it as an opportunity to be a huge bag of shit.

Punchbowl this morning: "The terrorist attack in New Orleans is fueling GOP calls to expedite Senate confirmation of Trump’s national security nominees." No. With Patel's hostility to FBI counter-intelligence operations in particular, he deserves much more scrutiny, not less.

In this age of increased terrorist threats and actions, we strongly need an FBI run by seasoned and competent leaders, not political hacks like Kash Patel.

Remember the insurrectionist guy who broke into Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol? His name is Richard Barnett. Barnett goes by the nickname “Bigo.” There was a J6 photo of Bigo that went viral. Bigo the insurrectionist was pictured with his boot…
