Rubio is a lawyer and officer of the court.

He also has a bridge in Brooklyn for sale if you’re buying this.

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, three years in we only took a sliver of the country at the cost of 800,000 men. Would the conventional wisdom be that we are winning? No? Then why do some think Russia is?

Here’s an oldie but a goodie. 🤔

Lindsey Graham tells the WSJ that his new bill, which has strong bipartisan support, is now filibuster proof and will soon be veto proof. The bill imposes new sanctions on Russia and would impose a 500% tariff on imported goods from any country that purchases Russian oil, gas, uranium, etc.

You literally signed up for this

I had to upload the clip here because it's frankly insane. Possibly the most insane trump clip yet. His brain is pudding

To be clear, nothing - NOTHING - Joe Biden said 4 years, including his debate meltdown, comes anywhere close to the insanity, unreality, unhingeness, of Trump repeatedly insisting - even when the interviewer is letting his crazy lie pass - that it was a real image of his knuckles

Oh.

There’s no Trump without an entire Republican Party on their knees and silent to the ongoing cruelty, hate, abuse, lies and lawlessness. They have abandoned the Constitution and basic human decency—for power. We will never forget these traitors who support despotism.

Why is it up to @rollingstone.com to write the most honest and direct headlines? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

We are in literal 'mad king' territory. The president is in obvious, undeniable cognitive decline. He's been obsessed with tariffs since the 1980s, when the big scare was the Japanese economic powerhouse. I don't think one person is secretly controlling him, I think everyone around him is trying to.

JUST IN: The full bench of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals votes 9-6 to maintain a block on DOGE's access to sensitive social security records. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

re, stalin: he killed millions and millions of people and ran a paranoid totalitarian cult of personality that transformed his country into one of the worst dictatorships in history, economically and politically crushing half a continent in the process so that's a pretty big difference

Florida’s attorney general is defying a federal judge’s order. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...

Spreading contamination - the rule of law is fragile if it is not defended

Sen. Ossoff: Who out there in the American public is sitting at home demanding that we shut down cancer research and Alzheimer's research?

Not to be a Wednesday morning quarterback, but if the president is saying something not just false but stupid, it's probably a good idea to keep asking questions. (Do you know what Photoshop is? Who told you this guy had MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles? Who gave you the blown-up picture?)

In the last few days, the president fell asleep at the pope’s funeral, said he wasn’t making decisions in the White House and fell for an obvious photoshop. Cool. Cool cool cool.

ā€œI could … but we have lawyers who don’t want to do that.ā€ This means nothing less than the Trump Administration is in open defiance of the Supreme Court of the United States.

The only proper reaction šŸ‘‡šŸ½

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated? That wasn’t funny. It was scary.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

Dimon in January on tariffs - ā€œget over itā€

Congratulations to Mark Carney and the Liberal Party on their election victory. The bond between Europe and Canada is strong — and growing stronger.

Off the scale dangerous.

I went back to Twitter to verify this is real. My God.

New York will require schools statewide to ban smartphone use during school hours, joining a national movement aimed at preventing compulsive social media use and distractions that interfere with school work, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced.

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio believes it is ā€œtoo lateā€ to combat the economic fallout of Trump’s tariffs and says the world economic order, with the US at the center, is breaking down.

Yes. Can’t turn the economy on and off at Trump’s whim.

100 days of increased costs. 100 days of broken promises. 100 days of embarrassing national security blunders.

He is just completely disconnected from the reality of how his policies impact average Americans, and he is surrounded my sycophants 24/7 who tell him that he’s the greatest, everything is perfect, and everyone loves him. He lives in a fantasy world.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Host: You could call and get Abrego Garcia back. Trump: I could Host: But the Supreme Court has ordered you to facilitate his release. Trump: I'm not the one making this decision Host: You're the president!

Trump is taping an interview with ABC'sĀ Terry Moran today — ABC's first sit-down with Trump since the network's parent Disney paid $16 million to settle his defamation lawsuit last December. Today, 100 days into Trump's second term, it's clear that the ABC payout was a harbinger... cnn.it/3RECqJr

Are they going to begin the interview with Terry Moran handing the president a large manila envelope stuffed with the cash bribe?

It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.

Rep. David Valadao expressed deep concerns that many of his GOP peers are pushing politically toxic, and ultimately doomed, proposals to make deep cuts to Medicaid
