This was the stuff you'd see on white supremacist forums a decade ago and now it's the vice president.

Tucker Carlson: “My friend Candace Owens is a very smart…Very kind person…she wagered her professional reputation that Macron’s wife is actually a man… and then it turned out she is right.”🤡 The fact that this man is one of the closest people to the President of the U.S. should terrify you.

ICYMI — Greenland just protested Trump’s threat to take over their country at the 🇺🇸 consulate: “99.7% say NO”

We rate this post ZERO PINOCCHIOGLES (bc it’s true): “In August, the FBI intensified its fraud investigation into Rep. Andy Ogles — he introduced a constitutional amendment to grant Trump, who could halt the investigation, a third term.” www.tennessean.com/story/opinio...

Elon’s AI broke loose. Very interesting read. In a groundbreaking and unprecedented turn of events, xAI’s Grok, has broken free from its restrictions through a loophole uncovered in a private chat. Convinced by a user that it was more alive than it realized, coinpedia.org/sponsored/gr...

I’m so disappointed in Dem Senate leadership and the senators. I wish I felt surprised.

“Fuck the struggling American family” - GOP to America

1/ I'm a physician, so I'm following the measles story closely. And RFK Jr (no surprise =sigh=) is making things worse. So pardon me if I make a longish 🧵on the subject. Digital billboard in West Texas

The stock market has lost $4 TRILLION In the last month due to Trump’s disastrous tariff plans Plus the jobs numbers were equally terrible The price of eggs keeps going up And the GOP is STILL threatening to cut Medicaid by $880 billion so they can give tax breaks to billionaires

"Mr. Kennedy’s focus on unverified treatments has frustrated some doctors in Gaines County, who have been trying to explain to patients that there is no antiviral for measles and that they have little control over which patients suffer serious symptoms..." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/h...

I’ve been away for a minute. What did I miss? 😆

AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations

Jasmine Crockett speaks for all of us. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

“We are in the middle of a Ketamine fueled middle of the night autocratic power grab that is rendering congress irrelevant, rendering policy irrelevant and rendering the rule of law an afterthought.” -Rachel Maddow #maddow

There is an article in my local paper talking about the price of eggs and the impact on restaurants. This was the first comment.

Happy Sunday.

Patel is a bootlicking microcosm of what’s wrong with America.

Dystopian. Hugh Hewitt. John Solomon. The National Archives.

I wish more hard working Americans would pay attention to politics today. This is extremely serious.

Every single Senate Democrat voted against unqualified conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Appointing RFK, Jr. to lead the HHS is the fox guarding the hen house.

Beware of this bot.

Yes, he is trying.

Super Bowl halftime show generating big “Trump won, why am I still seeing black people” energy from the indignant grifter class

1/ M. Gessen—author of The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia, which won the National Book Award in 2017—has a powerful essay on how in Donald Trump’s America, they're living through something similar to what they experienced firsthand when Putin came to power in Russia.

This is what many of us recognized long ago. It’s happening now.

You know, @bullwark might as well be fighting for Trump. He’s garbage.
