Americans know the National Guard. The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

I'm having face tingling from fight or flight. That's a normal response to a budget bill being passed, right? That means we've reached ultimate freedom?

Of course he’s trolling. It’s obvious he’s trolling. And yes, he’s probably trolling in an effort to distract. And also: it’s a major problem that a sitting “president” is trolling, and it should be called out because he’s deeply, deeply unwell.

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

Zuckerberg, Musk, and Trump are so universally unlikeable as people they thought money and power would make people like them, and they're still not likeable. They try to be gods or cult leaders because it's the only way they get the adoration and affection they never got from their parents or peers.
