Had a chance to pedal by the Biden’s beach house. #Biden #PresidentBiden #JoeBiden #thankyoupresidentbiden
This picture is of a biker holding a sign in front of the Biden’s beach house that says Pres and Doc Biden we heart you and we miss you.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com while it’s clear from your posts that you are keenly aware of the nationwide protests today, your program tonight is out of balance and overly focused on LA. You are missing the big story on TV tonight. What happened today across the country was truly extraordinary.

Everyone everywhere should see this. Chris Murphy calls Kristi Noem on the carpet and SHREDS her. Brilliantly, incisively, THOROUGHLY. It will come to nothing, because the GOP refuses to act. But he is on the record. I don’t know what the fuck else can be done. youtu.be/EwZWCk1ytPU?...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

"I will not repeal settled law" - Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett "I support women in the military" - Hegseth "I have nothing against vaccines" - RFK Jr. They lie to get confirmed. We know they're lying. Yet they get confirmed anyway. Every confirmation should require passing a lie detector test.

It’s hard to fathom why anyone would think eliminating federal deposit insurance on your cash in the bank, and getting rid of the polio vaccine, would be good ideas. Does anyone really think these are good ideas?

Last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced a historic $1.8 BILLION settlement for 4.3 million people who were charged illegal fees or defrauded by credit repair companies. Remember this the next time a billionaire says they want to get rid of the CFPB.
cbsnews.com
More than 4 million people to share $1.8 billion in refunds, the CFPB says. Here's what to know.
Payments to victims of Lexington Law and CreditRepair.com are the largest yet by Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

When the msm reports that “DT says that support for Hegseth is broad and deep,” without noting that’s a lie, we lose faith in the msm. They should just say he still supports him. Why repeat the lie? #msnbc #nbc #cbs #abcnews #cnn

The breathless lead-story coverage of 1 pardon on #msnbc is why so many of us are turning it off. No sense of proportionality. One act vs mountains of self dealing, criminality, corruption, etc. It was an editorial choice to make this the lead. Next they’ll blame Biden for Trump naming Patel!

@elisejordan.bsky.social are you kidding? Biden left the “rule of law system in a perilous position”??!! “Now Trump will pardon the J6 defendants”??!! Trump would have anyway, and if you don’t know that I question your professional judgement. This is why #msnbc is failing. No sense of proportion.

Recall what happened with the FBI when Nixon politicized it by appointing Patrick Gray director. The rank and file leaked, leaked and leaked up to the assistant director (aka Mark Felt/Deep Throat) level. They destroyed Nixon. Trump is inviting big trouble with Kash Patel.
