I really wish Dem strategists would just once go on TV and acknowledge that Trump only won by 1.5% and didn't even get a majority before they start with the tiresome "Democrats have completely lost touch with average Americans etc, etc." That's how you think after a landslide loss not a squeaker.

Oh, honey . . . Donald Trump is a rapist (per a unanimous jury of his peers), which makes him a violent criminal. And yet you not only fought to keep him in the country, you fought to make the incompetent buffoon run it. So kindly take a seat, JD, you shameless toady.

Oh man, talk about not reading the room—Schumer picked the perfect time for a book tour. (sarcasm) @schumer.senate.gov hits the road next week to promote his book, while the people he abandoned are left in panic mode. You don’t think people will show up to protest, do you? Step Down Chuck

Just a friendly reminder that Trump was impeached the first time in his first term because he was trying to use Zelenski to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. Zelenski refused and Trump holds grudges. This entire thing is about revenge. www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

Elon Musk is a brain rotted conspiracy obsessed maniac and investors should flee from anything he's responsible for or in charge of.

Relevant History: The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883 established the first comprehensive merit-based civil service system in the US. It was intended to do away with "The Spoils System" whereby unqualified people got govt jobs for their political loyalty, a bad system we've returned to.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Just looking at the events of this one day compels the conclusion that the United States Government is being run by morons, psychos, invertebrates, and crooks.

Person interviewed says they feel helpless, and wonder what congress is doing Well, they literally just came back after a 10 day break. 10 days, staying home. The Dems had 3 months to make a plan, and haven’t. thehill.com/homenews/512...

My additional criteria for this is that it needs to be (a) a minority woman (b) who has been described by conservatives as "angry" and/or "hysterical." I am tired of watching grizzled jars of mayonnaise being appointed special counsel and then taking years just to fail.

WHO IS ATTACKING US? There should be a public effort to identify any Musk/DOGE staffers in OMB, Treasury & OPM. Take their photos, badges & get identifying info. This attack cannot be allowed to happen in secrecy. It’s NOT a game. We have a RIGHT to know who is in our computers & private files.

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

When Trump³⁴ says he enacted tariffs to fight drugs flowing into US, remember that hours after being sworn-in, he pardoned one of the most notorious drug dealers/pushers of all time www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

This is absolutely crucial advice. Read it. Read it again. Repeat it to yourself. Do not allow yourself to be overloaded. OVERLOAD IS A DELIBERATE TACTIC.

This is it. This is the one. I think this is my most important report on Elon Musk as a Musk biographer. Read this and you will understand the man. Warning: dark stuff inside.

Boy, there is probably something to be said about how Trump is governing according to the actual campaign and platform he ran on and not the fantasy economic populist bullshit much of the commentariat spent November through January insisting he ran on.

Saw a "Democratic strategist" say "we have to earn people's trust back." Just mind-boggling that so many don't understand how this works. Did voters in 2024 say "I trust the Republican Party"? No. They were mad at those in power. Democrats have to get them mad at Republicans. It's not complicated.

That's just weird. Also, this particular Daddy has committed adultery on every single one of his wives, has been held liable for sexual assault, talked about Arnold Palmer's junk, fellated a microphone, and partied with pedophile. Family values.
