Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

The NY Times says it’s “not clear“ why Trump is using taxpayer funds and not money from his super PAC for his self-glorifying ads. But it’s clear to me. It’s because HE‘S A CROOK.

It's alarming that an unhinged demagogue is vandalizing our country. But one person isn't doing this damage. Many people are. Completely rational people in positions of power are betraying their country to become even wealthier than they already are. It's the definition of filthy rich.

Here‘s your reminder that Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home early so they wouldn’t have to vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment before the midterms. Republicans were terrified that they’d have to face voters and explain why they were covering for a racist, sexist, war-losing piece of crap.

On one side there's a picture of Bush 2.0 with a sign that says "mission not accomplished 2001-2021" and a picture of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran killed in a joint US-Israeli strike when Trump launched his war on Iran, with the sign that says "Mission a
