The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

President Donald Trump said people living in communities where data centers are built will receive a “dividend,” similar to the $5,000 “Trump dividend” he has proposed.

This week Jesse Watters flippantly made two racist statements about Black and Mexican-Americans on welfare in Arkansas. Last week he said racism didn't exist in the United States. Wealthy white men are experts on racism. Okay then.

The wild part about stories like this -- which happen repeatedly, every year, all over the US -- is the angry pushback I get from "comply or die!" Rs when I ask them what they'll do when a cop demands a blow job

this Pete Hegseth speech is indistinguishable from parody. words fail to describe the absurdity. here he's talking about governors coming to the Pentagon to grovel to him and Trump so they can be rewarded with a new military base

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

I’m confused. Trump lies about Democrats being communists because commies are bad. But he likes North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, a murderous communist dictator, and calls him a “friend.” Make it make sense.

Prosecutors looking at the same defendant do, in fact, coordinate sometimes to avoid stepping on each other’s toes. There wouldn’t be a gotcha here even if Schmitt hadn’t comically bungled the facts.

If you think these taxpayer-funded Trump ads are a public service announcement, you haven’t seen a campaign ad before. One is nearly identical to a Trump 2024 campaign ad. It’s political advertising and propaganda, and we’re paying for it.

There’s literally footage of Special Counsel Jack Smith at the Maryland game where Caitlin Clark was playing and not where GOP dirtbag Eric Schmitt said, and KKK Josh Hawley wants people to forget Mr. Smith was appointed 3 months after the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago. Their lie exploded in their faces.

Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.
As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.
