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.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Fetterman’s people going to the Journal saying he has no interest in anything but Israel and Fox News. They literally say that. At the expense of legislating, constituent service and so forth. They say it’s down to the office, which can’t cope because he can’t keep staff.

Newsom: "Do you know how much his supporters lost on that memecoin? It's down 98%. They lost $3.8 billion. His supporters. And he took home over $600 million. That says everything you need to know about the president of the United States, Donald Trump, about who this man is."

Trump had Rand Paul release Fauci’s diary for the same reason he got Morocco to let a wave of migrants flow into Spain’s territory in North Africa — he’s terrified of losing the midterms and needs to fire up his base with best hits such as covid and ‘Muslim migrant invasion.’ Expect more bullshit.

The Trump admin's latest strategy to mass generate removal orders is diabolical: - Take a huge group of people with hearings scheduled in late 2026, 2027, or 2028. - Send them a physical letter rescheduling all of their cases to next week. - Those who inevitably miss court get ordered deported.
