Trump's people are using blue curtains to hide empty seats at this evening's rally in Grand Island, Nebraska. Those accurate reports of poor turnout in Ohio and Alabama *really* got under his skin.

Guess which other narcissistic, mentally unstable authoritarian leader called for an arch and a ballroom to be built as grand monuments to his glory. I'm sure it's just a coincidence . . .

A lying, propaganda-spewing Trump administration press secretary, like Karoline Leavitt, becoming a lying, propaganda-spewing Fox News personality isn't technically a "new gig"—it's more like a lateral hire.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.

Meal deliveries can save money and improve health. Will they survive Medicaid cuts?
Some states deliver meals to Medicaid patients that address their dietary needs. Evidence shows it aids recovery and saves healthcare costs, but federal budget cuts may lead some states to cancel it.

Biden checks his watch at a ceremony and Fox does nonstop segments on it for weeks. But Trump falls asleep repeatedly at the 9/11 ceremony and they won’t even show it. But national broadcast news networks won’t show it either because that would be impolite.
