I saw Reagan get shot. I saw the Challenger explode. I saw 9/11. I saw January 6 Capitol insurrection. Seeing a US Senator in 2025 thrown to the ground and cuffed for trying to ask a question with words is the most terrifying American event. #cdnpoli #uspoli

Susie Wiles: Good Morning, Mr. President! We have a situation. Trump: I'll say we do. Wiles: The National Security Advisor is on his way, but the short version is Ukraine just blew up half of Russia's strategic bomber fleet. Trump: Wiles: Trump: Joe Biden was replaced in 2020 by a robot.

So Zelenskyy had all the cards. You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them. Just think whilst TACO was telling Zelenskyy in The Whitehouse he doesn't hold the cards, he was aware of the drone attack being planned with the Truck Ttojan horses.

Everyone should notice that they are VERY deliberately deporting precisely the people who are attempting to work legally within the system. The whole line about how "I'm just against illegal immigration" is bullshit. It always was.

Republican elites may not have endorsed Trump at the start. But they certainly went on to cover for him in ways that ensured his stranglehold on the right would last.

Man’s brain is applesauce, but it remains an interesting dynamic that his gut reaction is of course I don’t violate court orders, meanwhile he has no comprehension of how his people are gleefully doing exactly that and bragging about it.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

We no longer have a Supreme Court. Donald Trump decides what he wants the law to be, and we have a panel of five partisan hacks who devise rationalizations for it.
