Obama: “Imagine if I had done any of this... Imagine I pulled Fox News' credentials from the WH press corps.” I never want to hear MAGA talk about “tyranny” again. Their GOP has given up the mantle of limited government, free speech, the Constitution. They are the tyranny.

Today, I went to the grocery store and purchased $20 worth of vegetables. I now have a $20 trade deficit with the grocery store. They clearly ripped me off. I will now cut off all trade with the grocery store and let my family starve in order to Make My Household Great Again.

In normal times, a sitting president turning a memorial for nearly 3,000 dead Americans into an opportunity to aggrandize and lie about himself would be a national scandal, met with widespread disgust. Sadly, we are not in normal times.

Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. By far. There is simply no one President that even comes close.

It's wild how fast a MAGA guy turns into a resist lib the moment the leopards get around to eating his face. I've long thought the core distinction between liberalism and right-wing postliberalism comes down to empathy. /1

Ossoff: “Never let them forget. They hunted the Vice President to kill him.” Every day, we must remember the people leading us hate the Constitution. In modern history, no administration has been more hostile to our founding ideals than the one currently in the White House.

Trump, 2024: "Tariffs will lower prices." Trump, 2026: "I'm removing my tariffs to lower prices." Next time you're at the grocery store, remember that every economist on the planet warned you in 2024 that this is exactly where it would end up.

I have to give it to Darline. “MAGA is more concerned with what a half dozen trans athletes are doing than the most important geopolitical flashpoint of our time” is actually a pretty honest reflection of the base.

Real liberalism has been tried. First it created the Constitution. Then it abolished slavery. Then it ended segregation. Then it created the greatest surge of prosperity in history. Our problems today are not because liberalism failed. They are because we failed liberalism.

Darline Graham (Lindsey Graham's sister) was asked tonight about her position on Taiwan and the South China sea. Her reply: “National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise... but I support the military.” MAGA continues to set the bar *high* for the U.S. Senate.

The most egregious act of corruption yet. If you can afford to pay $100k/mo, you can get early access to Trump's posts before anyone else does, allowing you to front-run market moves and profit millions, while the plebs play in the sandbox. People must go to prison for this.

For the people who don't track these things closely, when JD Vance says he's “postliberal” in this context it doesn't mean “post-Democrat,” it means “post-Constitution.”

This is both a signal to the public and to the ICE agents. To the American people, he's saying he will protect the masked, armed men — even if they kill you, your child, your neighbor, or your friend. To the masked thugs, he's saying: you're good to kill more.

This is so strange. Vance is making an argument for state intervention to control the economy — yet he won't say wealth concentrates at "the top." Instead, he hedges with "some segment." Then he adds the obligatory line about stopping communism, just to reassure you he's still right wing. /1

Let's get this straight: Trump was POTUS when this happened. His CIA & FBI did nothing about it (and evidence of it wasn't mentioned in his hundreds of lawsuits). Trump went to China & told Xi how much he respected and admired after. And now it's a bombshell dropping 90 days before the midterms.
