Ken Paxton stole someone’s $1,000 pen. He’ll steal your tax dollars. He’ll steal your healthcare. He’ll even steal your pen. I'll be a Senator who puts money in your pocket — and I’ll never put your pen in mine.

I mean, he proudly did a Nazi salute at our disgraceful president’s second inauguration, so of course he should go on to be the financially-richest morally-poorest person in the world. This is gonna get so much worse.

I'm proud that the people of Central Florida continue to put their trust in me, & I don't take that for granted. Over the last term, we've fought for the rights & dignity of all people. Pushing to build power with & for the working class.

What Ivanka & Jared are doing is worse than I thought they are destroying natural wetlands of Albania. The corruption is unpalatable. Ariel Brunner is fighting them tooth & nail and boy oh boy is he angry. As he should be. Ariel Brunner is Europe & Central Asia Director of BirdLife International.

I saw Kushner’s Albania resort up close — it is an environmental disaster
The damage at Vjosa-Narta is not fake news. Bulldozers are tearing into one of Europe’s most precious wetlands.

Observation from life, having been around longer than this guy (and married to same wonderful woman since age 21): I have yet to meet a man who goes out of his way to bait others as "barely straight," who doesn't have issues of this sort himself Have never met a "real man" who bothers with this BS

"Neither Putin, Netanyahu, nor the new Iranian leadership is truly agreeing to Trump’s terms. Each of them has their own agenda. Each of them is playing their own game. And each of them understands something that Trump refuses to accept: Donald Trump is desperate for a win."
But behind the scenes, I am being told the same thing again and again:

There is no deal. There is only the illusion of one.

Trump does not want a real solution because real solutions take discipline, planning, trust, leverage, and patience. Trump wants the shiny object. He wants the photo op. He wants the press release. He wants the “historic agreement” headline before anyone has actually agreed to the terms.

#Trump has turned the #WhiteHouse into a monster energy commercial. The "People's House" rebranded as a pay per view event. This isn't patriotism. It's a pawnshop presidency where every historic norm, every symbol, every inch of public space is something he can slap a logo on. #SheShed

We can hear this, from our house in DC. Back in the Carter era, I was (politely) reprimanded, for "disrespect to the office" when I wore blue jeans when called in to work late on a Saturday night, for revisions to a Monday a.m. speech. Now, Nero and Caligula.

If Trump is among the five most evil and petty humans alive, Musk is without question among the five most evil and petty... ...*and* ungrateful. He builds nothing himself, he's a scofflaw, and he spends all day spreading hate. He pays others to do what he takes credit for.

Confirming: It does not get any tackier than this. Or: It has not yet. Because every "we've hit bottom" assessment so far has proven premature.
