Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

More evidence (as if we needed it) that he's being fed a constant ego-drip of garbage dressed up to look like it is real, and then he gets BIG MAD. But in stead, he seems like a Mad King, not an angry potus.

The New York Times does not want a Democratic majority in the Senate. They hate Mamdani. They've ALWAYS hated the Clintons. The bias has been plain to see for decades. And here it is again.

Trump is doing his best to weaken and undermine higher education, an area in which the United States has been a global leader since World War II, with economic and other benefits that extend far beyond the students, staff, and faculty at universities.

I heard about a detainee who was released from Whipple yesterday who'd been there for 7 months. Seven. Fucking. Months. This administration is lawless and cruel. When Democrats take over, there *must* be punsihment. There is no excuse for Democrats who want to 'turn the page.'

Trump places the seeds of The Ballroom-Bunker's destruction. "It cannot be made to meet fire and safety code," President X said. "I've met with architects and engineers, and it's unfixable. So it will have to come down. Just remember who cost us all this absurd money – Donald Trump and Susie Wiles."

The unprecedented cruelty of the Trump Admin continues to astound. He's using FEMA to punish entire "blue" states, and the retribution against this f--ker has to be severe. The GOP is shameful in letting this continue.

CBS Colorado (with photo of burned out homes): More than 300 homes burned. Now FEMA has denied individual disaster assistance for Colorado families hit by the Aspen Acres and Gold Mountain fires.
The denied program could have helped with temporary housing, home repairs, essential personal property and other recovery needs. FEMA also denied Colorado’s request for additional hazard mitigation funding.
Federal Public Assistance was approved for debris cleanup and critical infrastructure repairs.
Colorado has 30 days to appeal the denial.

When pundits or politicians say "vanity projects," it sounds like he's getting a nose job or coloring his hair. He's not just touching up DC. He's demolishing it. Beating cherished monuments and public spaces to a pulp with a kind of cruel glee. He is destroying America's heritage landscapes.

Apparently Obama doing Hope and Change, and winning, was a total fluke (even though he got re-elected). He wasn't perfect! Certainly. But he formulated a vision *and sold it*, relentlessly. But our political consultant class is disgustingly conventional, and has very skewed incentives.

This right here is why the New York establishment press is in an endless yellow journalism uproar about Mamdani. "Tax the rich and empower the workers" is pretty much a declaration of war to the money classes, who are both the owners and audience of the newspaper industry today.
