Mistakes a green gas pump for diesel, publicly ridicules someone over his own ignorance, and then publishes a ten-point manifesto to avoid admitting he was wrong. It’s remarkable how much effort some politicians will put into defending their intelligence rather than demonstrating it.

Disgraceful and utterly beneath the dignity of the office of United States Senator.

The Trump administration has acquired ownership stakes in 43 private companies so far, and Nancy Mace is lecturing Americans about the dangers of socialism. I’m not sure she understands what that word means…

This is deeply troubling and illustrates why comprehensive AI regulation is urgently needed. The U.S. is already woefully behind on data privacy and security protections. Now AI is advancing faster than our institutions can respond, while Congress remains nowhere close to establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework. The urgency could not be greater.

Thank you for your service 🫡

The enormity of this man’s crime does not relieve the government of its obligation to conduct itself with dignity. If the law requires his death, let the sentence be executed with solemnity. But to summon the public to watch a man die is to make an exhibition of the Republic’s power. America’s greatness rests not merely upon the strength she possesses, but upon the restraint in which she exercises it. Hegseth evidently believes that inviting the world to watch a paraplegic prisoner die will demonstrate American strength. Yet, this spectacle will reveal nothing of American strength and everything of his own vanity.

And just like that, former co-president Elon Musk is back on the job…

The Andrew Jackson portrait in Trump’s Oval Office feels especially apt today. Jackson is said to have responded to a court ruling: “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!”

Twenty-five years later, I remember that day as clearly as if it were yesterday. When I walked into my seventh-grade math class, I saw the haunting images of the World Trade Center. As we learned that commercial airplanes had struck the towers, I thought about my father, who was piloting a commercial flight at the time. That evening, my mother came home from work in tears. She had recently retired from United Airlines, and United Airlines Flight 93 had been one of the routes she regularly flew. September 11 solidified my resolve to help others and ultimately led me to join the Coast Guard after high school. Over the years, I have met many people whose lives were forever changed that day; some who narrowly escaped, others who lost loved ones, and brave souls who ran toward the smoke while everyone else was running out. September 11 changed our country and the world in profound ways. The perpetrators represented pure evil, but their attack also brought out the very best in the American people. Strangers risked their lives for one another, and many in my generation came to understand the meaning and importance of public service at an early age. Never forget. Always remembering.

Never mind that this is absolutely illegal under multiple independent legal frameworks - it would be the largest single direct cash handout to individuals in American history #FiscalConservatism

Sen. @TomFernandezSC – a lawyer and part owner at the time of suit of Born United MB – insisted its Buc-ee's design was protected parody and predicted Buc-ee's would lose. Born United has now consented to judgment and $850k in damages. A rather costly legal theory...

Apparently having sexual relations with animals is also no longer automatically disqualifying in Kash Patel’s FBI…

.@SecScottBessent championed tariffs as a major source of revenue for Trump’s economic agenda. Now Treasury is refunding billions in tariff revenue, the deficit has already surpassed the entire FY2025 deficit with two months still to go, the national debt has grown $3.8 trillion since Trump returned to office, and hit a $40 trillion milestone. Meanwhile, Trump’s signature tax and spending law is projected to add trillions more to future deficits. Damn fine looking helipad though!

Give credit where it’s due… well done Donald Trump and Scott Bessent 👏

He must be talking about his boss…

Interesting how tonight’s SCGOP Senate candidates talked a lot about farmers, yet none mentioned that this administration is withholding hundreds of millions of dollars owed to American farmers for Hurricane Helene relief. They love farmers right up until it is time to pay them.
