BREAKING: In an unusual move, Trump has reportedly rejected his advisers' plans to hold his Thursday evening speech in the Oval Office. Instead, he plans to address the nation from outside Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia.
He finally found the guy who stole all the votes for him in six states in 2020! BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Venezuela hired him! -- no China hired him! -- or maybe it was OBAMA! Thank goodness they put the housing finance guy in charge of figuring it out. Now we'll know for sure!
DOJ is swearing new lawyers into what historically has been the Civil Rights Division. Notice anything about how they dressed for the occasion?
On this 250th birthday, a wish for all of us as Americans. @protectdemocracy.org @allvotingislocal.bsky.social @blackvotersmatterfund.org @campaignlegal.org @commoncause.org @civilrightsorg.bsky.social @lwv.org @splcenter.org @votesaveamerica.crooked.com
This is such a disturbing flex. He’s basically acknowledging that he and Trump have raised the bar on what scandals presidents can get away with so much that Watergate was nothing compared to them today. True. But yikes.
He was already gonna be showered with boos. Now fans are gonna be really pissed. He continues to top his own records for most selfish person in history.
Orban concedes. And in that lies a lesson for those rightfully worried Trump will try to deny midterm results: deliver a rebuke so overwhelming there’s no way to deny it. Congratulations to the people of Hungary!
Looks like Democrats and Republicans on the Hill had agreed on a deal to fund DHS and end the airport security madness and Trump rejected it. Pretty clear now that Trump is the sole cause of all the chaos that is ensuing.
Im sure no one in the Admin was gambling their own money on this little episode to get rich while messing with the global economy and world order. They wouldn't do such a thing.
The U.S. president is about to launch a war without any Congressional authorization or even public debate. Perhaps as soon as tomorrow. You’d never know it.
How should Trump open his State of the Union? @notusperspectives.bsky.social offers a few ideas. The president might not use my draft remarks, but they're free if he wants them. www.notus.org/perspectives...
This is so true and has been for 10 years. Stop taking him on one at a time and join together to do it en masse. You’ll all be better off and so will the country.
The arrest of @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and Georgia Fort is an outrageous assault on the 1st Amendment and all our freedoms. They and the protesters they were covering are being persecuted by a dangerous and lawless Trump Admin for defending all of our rights. Demand their freedom. Enough.
BREAKING: Sec. Noem, AG Bondi and DNI Gabbard to address National Association of Secretaries of State tomorrow. According to planned remarks they will reveal that they have found Bigfoot, that Elvis is alive, that with the tooth fairy all three helped China steal the 2020 election.
