small point on the insane, racist diatribe trump just posted but this is not how cognitive tests work.
What a disaster it was! AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical. As the Doctor in charge said, “President Trump ACED it,” meaning, I got every answer right.

Does Israel really not see that Trump doesn't "support" them, so much as he thinks truly, genuinely believes he owns them like a waterfront resort? His outrage here is actually real, he truly cannot believe that a man he thinks he employs would cross him.

Schumer works for Israel and Wall Street. He probably wants this. Schumer is the only Senate Democrat to vote for the Iraq War. Time for a vote of no confidence in Dem leadership.

You and the other Senate Dems need to do a hell of a lot more than write letters and call for investigations. Start with blocking every motion, every vote. No to cloture on everything. No appointments. Nothing. Shut it down.

If y’all don’t think JD Vance purposely said something racist about Senator Padilla…I’m going to remind you that Vance served with Padilla in the Senate before he was VP. He called him Jose because he’s a racist asshole.

The decision in Skrmetti lets politicians create their own evidence to justify banning necessary healthcare. It's bad, writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social. Not just for trans people, but for anyone whose healthcare is or could potentially be politically contested. Read more here:

Court’s Ruling in Skrmetti Threatens All Care That’s Politically Contested — Assigned
An anti-trans, anti-science decision relies on a history of discrimination against women, and opens the door to challenges on care like vaccines.

When you call your senators, tell them the part that strips trans people of gender affirming care in the BBB is section 71117. They can only pretend they don't know for so long. Call and point section 71117 out to them. Show your senators YOU give a shit about trans people.

About "nonviolence"— The definition of "violence" is not neutral. What counts as violence is determined by those who control public discourse. This is why police can terrorize people without it registering as violence, while the slightest act of community defense is framed as "violence." 🧵⬇️

This is a terrifying but sobering thought. Everything he does is about how it can be spun to position him next to people he thinks are the "greats." Other than money, he doesn't care about anything else in the world. This is why he keeps bringing up Washington and Lincoln.

Yesterday Trump couldn't answer simple questions about theoretical strikes by Israel against Iran and whether it would hurt negotiations, contradicting himself multiple times. I think it's clear he actually genuinely had no idea about this, which shows how little he matters on the world stage.
