On every front; health, economy, the military... we are significantly more vulnerable then we were a month ago. Any response we have to any crisis will be managed by wildly incompetent political fanatics. There's no way Russia and China aren't aware of this.

Huh. Think Trump will be mad when he learns Gen. Dan "Raizin" Caine got his nickname in a locker room and it refers to his abnormally tiny testicles? I'M KIDDING! I've never seen Caine's balls. I just assume whatever size they are he hacked them off and gave them to Trump as a condition of hiring.

It would be mean spirited to wish that RFK Jr gets measles, but it would also be pointless since I absolutely guarantee you he is fully vaccinated. He's has the works. I have zero doubt he was first in line to get a COVID shot and booster, though he may have slipped in a back door to get it done.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Follow these dirt sacks everywhere. It won't take long for all of them to put themselves back in jail. Violent crime is the only job skill most of these folks have. I hope we arrest a whole of them before they kill somebody, something I have no doubt they'll do. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

With mass firing at the Pentagon, a drunkard part-time Fox News host as Sec Def, firings to ensure that the Joint Chiefs are 100% white men, we now have the least capable US Military in modern history. If you think the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans etc aren't taking notice, think again.

Debate if you want whether race was a factor in CQ Brown being hired, but there is NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER that he was fired because of his race. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved funding due to Trump's illegal impoundment. Hello?
