Again, yet again, rules, laws, procedures etc. are ignored and scorned by this wannabe king dictator. There is no moral compass, no pretense of responsibility or respect, no weight of respect for the history of our country or our shared values. His cult just worships him as he brags.

So in addition to accepting bribes the “smartest” and “best” "businessmen" and “leaders” make their desire for ”gifts” known by soliciting. Corruption and greed are part of the new MAGA “ethics”.

All bribes are encouraged & welcomed by MAGA! Trump brags about the grift as if we should be proud to have a president who is consumed with greed and self aggrandizement.

As a Minnesotan I hope Trump does come here to campaign not just for her, but for the four GOP members of Congress in our state. Trump is hated here and I want him to remind everyone that Emmer, Stauber, Finstad, and Fischbach have stood by him through everything.

DUN DUN DUN -- Fox Business on the September jobs report: "The numbers do not look good. I'm looking at 29,000 jobs added. That is well below expectations for 90,000, and our unemployment rate jumps up to 4.2%. A significant slowdown."

Saying this once was too many times, but this is Trump and he believes that all of his random thoughts are precious and worthy of that gold star and the pat on the back for being a good boy that he likely never got as a child. Sad, but as POTUS, unacceptable. Time for the 25th.

Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).

Trump thinks that because he's changed the name of AI, now all concerns expressed about it previously are a hoax. The illogic is breathtaking. (Note that in this clip he's also lying about economic growth.)

Last year, Donald Trump and congressional Republicans enacted the largest health care cuts in American history. Now Pennsylvania health care systems are struggling. And unsurprisingly, the GOP’s band-aid solution to these massive cuts isn’t filling the gap.

All the more reason to vote blue and, if like me, you are in PA with two senators who are not on the ballot this year — email, call, or contact their offices and ask them to speak up and vote to end this stalled war and stay out of Middle East conflicts. This war is not improving anything!

no, it is the other way around. if you are looking at D+14 (or D+12 or +10 or even +8) generic ballot then there is basically no point in trying to tamper with anything. you are going to lose, the only ? is how bad it is going to be. it's when the election is *tight* that tampering makes sense.
