1. She's president's human binky & controls his social media 2. Foreign govts use her a conduit for Trump 3. She's lied about much of her background 4. She wouldn't or couldn't get security clearance (see 3) 5. She has an obsession w/ Trump giving their relationship a vaguely inappropriate dynamic

Joe Biden was too old to be president. Trump is the same age as Biden was when he was president. And it’s obvious that Trump is less mentally healthy than Biden was. So when will the media report that the president’s brain is broken? If the answer is “never,” that means the media are broken too.

Rick is calling this the GOP’s worst week in years—and the polls back him up. Texas and Ohio are tightening. Republicans are stepping on rake after rake. Bad polls. Brutal hearings. MAGA is in trouble. Democrats: stay on message. Everyone else: VOTE EARLY: WATCH HERE bit.ly/4ARtZ30

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

@kenjennings.bsky.social I have been disappointed in how you sometimes allow mispronunciation and sometimes not. Yesterday it was Daedalus. I was taught “Dead-a-lus” (rhymes with bed). Today, you mispronounced Aksarben. Aksarben is pronounced ak-SAR-ben (/ækˈsɑːrbɛn/), sar like sardines.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
