Oil prices skyrocketed during Trump’s speech.

17836

“Not clear what the purpose of this Trump speech was,” is the recap from NBC News.

46812

To recap, Americans have seen the largest monthly increase in gas prices ever recorded and Donald Trump has absolutely no plan to reopen the Straight of Hormuz.

Donald Trump looks and sounds physically unwell. Why are the American people not receiving more information about the health condition of a clearly ailing president?

While you were sleeping, the Senate unanimously passed what Democrats pushed for over a month: fund TSA and other essential agencies but withhold funding for ICE until there’s substantial reform. Republicans made America suffer for nothing.

Not one, but two red to blue flips in Florida tonight with Democrats winning in districts Donald Trump dominated just last cycle.

The most amazing story isn’t just that Democrats flipped a Trump +12 seat from red to blue — it’s that Trump literally voted by mail in this election while arguing mail in voting should be illegal for everyone else.

It’s genuinely difficult to watch Pete Hegseth’s unhinged, belligerent performance in this press conference and not question whether he’s publicly intoxicated.

We’ve now learned that less than 3 hours after the White House posted this grotesque video comparing war to a video game, a KC-135 refueling aircraft went down and 4 U.S. airmen were killed. This war is becoming the most poorly planned, mismanaged disaster in American history.

It’s six months until the midterms and Donald Trump’s message to voters is that skyrocketing gas prices are good, actually.

Matt McDermott @mattmfm.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Just jaw-dropping that Donald Trump, the man who rode affordability anxiety to the White House, told the Speaker of the House to focus on culture war issues because “no one gives a shit about housing.”

There it is. Trump’s “Mission Accomplished” moment.

Huge win for James Talarico in Texas tonight. Democrats: it’s time to come together and make 2026 the year we flip Texas and take back the Senate.

Wow: under the radar special election in Arkansas tonight for House District 70, a GOP-held seat in suburban Little Rock. Democrat Alex Holladay with a huge 27-point win over Republican Bryan Renshaw. Another red to blue flip for Democrats.

These Texas primary numbers are incredibly good for any Democrat who wants to put Texas on the map this November.

Donald Trump ran on lowering prices, releasing the Epstein files, and ending foreign wars. In two years he rolled out illegal tariffs that raised prices, engaged in a cover up of the Epstein files, and incited war across the entire Middle East.

Trump is babbling. Democrats are winning. Overperforming by 37 points in tonight’s Pennsylvania House special election.

Matt McDermott @mattmfm.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

To recap: The guy who ran on lowering costs, ending foreign wars, and releasing the Epstein files has instead illegally rolled out tariffs that raise prices, brought us to the brink of war in Iran, and forced his DOJ to hide the Epstein files.

Matt McDermott @mattmfm.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

The Supreme Court rules 6–3 that Donald Trump has been illegally taxing Americans, and instead of complying with the law he immediately imposes a new 10% tax on all imported goods. It’s open defiance of the Constitution and another bill handed straight to working families.

Matt McDermott @mattmfm.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Seems important to note that last summer the Trump administration emphatically claimed there was “no evidence” to justify investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files. So were they wrong, or were they lying?

Matt McDermott @mattmfm.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Just an astoundingly bad AP poll for Trump • 36% overall job approval • 72% disapprove of Greenland threats • 66% describe economy as doing poorly • 60% unfavorable view of ICE Cannot stress enough: the vast majority of Americans think this presidency is a failure.

Matt McDermott @mattmfm.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

It is simply journalistic malpractice at this point to treat anything Trump officials say as factual. Even in sworn court filings, under penalty of perjury, officials have repeatedly been caught lying and hiding evidence to gaslight the American people.

Matt McDermott @mattmfm.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Trump won on one promise: fix the economy. Two years later, job growth has cratered and Americans feel worse than they did before he took office. Voters will remember in November.

Hard to take national security lectures seriously from an administration that confused a party balloon for a foreign drone and erroneously shut down airspace over a major metropolitan area for a week.

It’s hard to even watch Pam Bondi’s behavior today. Chaos was clearly the strategy. But Americans have real questions about the Epstein scandal and when the Attorney General responds with childish contempt, it raises the obvious question: why is she protecting pedophiles?

Really not sure folks are fully processing the fact that the President of the United States trying to arrest six Democrats in Congress is an unprecedented act of political persecution. There’s been nothing like this in U.S. history.

Matt McDermott @mattmfm.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Enough is enough: Donald Trump using the Department of Justice to target six sitting members of Congress crosses a red line for American democracy, and Democrats cannot provide a single vote that legitimizes this unprecedented constitutional crisis.

Congresswoman @balint.house.gov reviewed the unredacted Epstein files yesterday and said they contradict Trump’s claim that he expelled Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. She made clear, “That is not true. It’s a lie.”

Watching leaders resign worldwide over Epstein connections while Republicans rally to protect Howard Lutnick, after he clearly lied about doing business with a pedophile, is one of the most grotesque moral failures in modern politics.

Refusing to call Donald Trump a convicted felon and court adjudicated rapist is one of the small acts of bias towards Republicans that the press engages in.

Not one to give Republicans strategic advice, but siloing yourself into ideological echo chambers while rejecting shared American cultural moments like the Super Bowl and the Olympics is a remarkable way to marginalize yourself politically.

In the past 72 hours, Donald Trump has posted a racist cartoon of the Obamas as apes, said it’s “very hard” to root for American Olympians, and complained that the Super Bowl halftime show “doesn’t represent” America.

47618

Halftime Show: “Together, we are America.” Trump: “It is affront to the greatness of America. This show is a slap in the face to our country.”

Yikes: the alternative TPUSA “All-American” Halftime Show had fewer than 14,000 views.

This is, unironically, the queerest Super Bowl halftime show ever — and it’s incredible.
