Has a Stepford Wives vibe to it all - MAGA women trying to conform to the look they think MAGA men want.

It is how you think it works if you're a narcissistic sociopath who is mentally incompetent and suffering from dementia.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Not only should brooks and others shut up. But Ossoff is the best example in the country of a Democrat playing dominance politics and using it to control the whole terms of his race.

I know at the moment this is intended as humor, but there is a very good chance you're simply presaging a reality.

Trump is setting the stage to blame Ukraine for diesel fuel costs. He then will begin to try what he has always wanted to do - align US with Russia and North Korea against the free world.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Michigan and Ontario have a lot of economic and cultural interdependencies. Lots of us Michiganders are employed by Canadian companies. The tariff war resonates with Michigan voters and not in a good way for GOP.

I don't think the Republican Party can "go back to normal" but if it did, that just means being a vehicle for undermining government and concentrating wealth, enveloped in a bunch of dishonest obfuscatory slop. Why yearn for something to return to the exact thing that fostered it

Sorry, I thought the headline title said shifted left - my point, which I failed to make clear, is the media keeps using the same tired tropes of left/right. This isn’t left vs right. It’s a battle between decency and cruelty. Kansas voters are choosing empathy over the cruelty of Roger Marshall.

He isn't surrendering anything. They'll just move numbers around, alter paperwork, and pretend the bill was paid for by his PAC. There is no one auditing anything in the federal government right now.

Kushner's involvement has always been about him finding a way to profit from the Russian attack on Ukraine. He'll get Trump completely abandon Ukraine, and have US aid Russia if Kushner can find a way to make a profit from it. Kushner is as much a sociopath as his Father-In-Law is.

There is absolutely no way Donald Trump will do anything to defend Taiwan. Ultimately, he wants to form an alliance with Russia, China and the USA.

Absolutely. And the stated reason to do so should be for national security reasons. We need to know who bribed who and for what reason. Freeze, Kushner's, Junior's, and the children whose names he doesn't care enough about to remember until investigations are completed. 20-25 years or so.

And when people ask what should the Democrats do, particularly in light of the fact that the President retains a veto: plenty. I will start with the petty: do not invite the President to give the SOTU. Have him send a letter. A more substantive approach: it is time to audit the Executive Branch.

Every statement is projection. He thinks of himself as a ranting, raving, lunatic who is a 3rd rate, disloyal, sick, treasonous, demented, unhappy person. That's how he sees himself. I don't disagree with him. He sees himself better than his followers do. We're in dangerous territory.

Trump is a pinball in a pinball machine. No idea what he's doing, where he's going, or capable of independent thought. He just bounces off one bumper to the next, one crisis to the next, until one day, hopefully soon, the game ends when the ball slips through the flippers.

Only questions Trump should get from the press are about his violating the 1st amendment and prohibiting CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the People's House. Not one question about anything else. Not one. Make the attention only about someone other than him. The narcissist in him will cave.

True, but in his defense he's also a narcissistic sociopath who is a pathological liar and a convicted felon who was civilly found to have sexually abused a woman. Please try to include some of his finer qualities to be more fair and balanced.

Daughter of Cuban exiles was okay deporting "those other immigrants", so long as Cuban exiles had their special exemption. Now 4,000 - 5,000 Cubans have been deported to Mexico and Africa she thinks, maybe, just maybe Donnie is getting bad advice? She was okay when they weren't coming for her.

Trump isn't the only one responsible. The GOP and MAGA movement is equally responsible. I'm seeing this in my life where MAGA friends and family are increasingly trying to isolate the blame on Trump. It's not just Trump, it's the entire MAGA movement, including themselves responsible.
