Same. Not nonsense, though. It is important to maintain small muscle dexterity after that milestone birthday. Playing pick-up sticks may help.

The VP of the US responding to a journalist. What a great role model for our kids.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This is a flat-out, clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.
