You are allowed to say, at any point, "I can't support this." Even if you did. Even if you were unsure. You can at any point say "this has gone too far." And while the best time to say that was earlier, the second best time is now.

I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government.

I’m not giving Mike Pence credit for this post. His wife probably told him to write it. Remember Jimmy Carter’s funeral? She wouldn’t shake hands with Trump but Mike did.

For the last two days, Sean Duffy has been blaming Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, the Democrats, and anyone else he can think of for the fact that under HIS watch, planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. Maybe fewer joyrides to the Daytona 500 and a little more attention paid to transportation.

Jared Moskowitz’s message for Elon Musk: I think the time for staying in safe spaces is over. Twitter—or X—is a safe space for him. You’ve got to get out of your safe spaces. Go talk to the American people—not just on Fox, not just next to the president, and not just on X. Come to Congress…

Trump Fires Every ‘Biden-Era’ U.S. Attorney—Why Now? Trump claims the DOJ was “politicized like never before,” then immediately fires every U.S. attorney tied to Biden. The message? Loyalty to him, not the law. This isn’t justice—it’s a purge.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”
