Rupert, like Mitch McConnell, seems to finally be grappling with what they’ve enabled. If only they’d had the character to do what it took when it mattered. Now it’s all too late.

BREAKING: Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who was released from prison last month after Trump pardoned him along with 1,500 other Jan. 6 rioters, has just been arrested by Capitol Police for assaulting a counter-protester.

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Finnish journalist @MikkoMarttinen2 has a much simpler explanation for Trump's recent speeches: "Trump, 78, is the most dim-witted president of modern US history, and old age has made him even dumber."

That’s sooo weird. I thought everything would be so good, we’d forget about the end of democracy.

Beshear: If they eliminated the Department of Education and its funding, that’s a half billion dollars in meals for our kids that otherwise might go hungry. So, if Elon Musk and Donald Trump do what they say they’re doing, the result are hungry children

.@JDVance -If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.
If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal. Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller. There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president. And we call that Donald Trump.

The fact that the Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is even discussing pilot skin color in a White House press briefing is vile.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.
