Historian here: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

Visual representation of our current situation:

Hakeem Jeffries: "Republicans are marching America to a painful government shutdown that will crash the economy and hurt working-class Americans because they would rather enact massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors than fund cancer research for children."

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

GDP has risen 12.6 percent over Biden’s tenure, far outpacing both predictions made even before Covid became a household name and growth in other advanced countries.

📌Under Joe Biden: -Record 16 million jobs created -Lowest average unemployment rate of any administration in 50 yrs -Incomes up $4,000 over prices -Inflation at world-best 2% -Economy grew more than any presidential term this century Dems lose election because of economy. Absolutely INSANE.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

Vivek is literally an unelected federal bureaucrat.

Trump is still running all his businesses while selling random junk. He has a publicly traded company, and he can easily be bribed. He once again will be in violation of the Constitution day 1. Corporate media should do their damn jobs and focus on it, instead of sanewashing him and his nominees.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear. Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code. It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions. Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

It's 100% true.

Only biological males with cakey orange foundation and 34 felony convictions may use this bathroom.

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but I’m pretty sure our president shouldn’t be a rapist, our DNI shouldn’t be on a TSA watchlist list and our head of counterintelligence should probably be able to pass a background check. Right?

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the most wasteful member of Congress, will chair the new House subcommittee to help slash government waste. Lmao.

Matt Gaetz is already doing the hard work removing criminal sex offenders from Trump's cabinet.

nothing to see here perfectly normal everything going according to plan

Truth.

Elon Musk spent $45 million to target Black, Jewish, Muslim voters and others with disinformation ads. The ads had lies tailored to target citizens by race and religion to demotivate thems from voting and turn them against Kamala Harris. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

America didn’t deserve them.

because nothing says 'I'm innocent of all charges' more than 'please don't release the report on me'

Be like Mark Hamill.

Do yourself a favor and read this from Fox News contributor Ben Domenech. I’d like to report a murder

They should still release it.

In case you need a primer explaining why RFK Jr. being the head of the HHS would be a DISASTER. 👀 ⬇️

If this is what Elon did to the valuation of Twitter just wait till he gets his hands on the U.S. Government.

A clean sweep for Putin.

BREAKING: John Bolton, who served in every Republican WH administration since Reagan, says today is not a good day and calls Trump picking Matt Gaetz as Attorney General the "worst cabinet pick in American history." Whoa.

🤦‍♂️
