Will conservatives again fund truck convoys to DC to protest the price of fuel or no?

Schmitt is a complete piece of slime, but also in true republican fashion he and his team are completely inept.

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

My grandfather was a retired Marine Corps General. Purple Heart, Navy Star, service in WWII. He's over at Arlington with my grandmother and his war buddies. Fuck Hegseth. He's a shiny tool for his boss, a megalomaniac who is compromised by foreign influences and seeks to destroy our country

Trump looks like Don Ciccio sitting in the garden in The Godfather II. Guy looks baaaaddd.

This scum should be driven from football. And USC football should be sanctioned for clearly condoning this sort of behavior. Stephen's celebrating after the hit is a result of poor coaching allowing that sort of celebration after the hit www.si.com/college/usc/...

That USC player should be ejected for the rest of the season for that hit. And USC should be fined mucho bucks.

Every single person who knew AND suppressed proof that Trump raped children should be prosecuted as an accessory.

It's not enough for Democrats to win in 2026 and 2028. I want to see the Republican Party completely destroyed. Laws were broken. I want to see criminals who used the power of public office to enrich themselves investigated and put on trial.

i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades

Trump to the UN: "Do I annihilate the Islamic Republic, and do it quickly? Do I drive them into hell?"

If Trump is unable to broker a truce with Iran while leaders from most of the world are at the UN, it will be a foreign policy and executive leadership failure of epic proportions. The Art of the Deal guy can't close one of the most important deals in his life

Trump at UN: Threats, diplomacy and 'super intelligence' reut.rs/4Ar6QnH

Right, Iran doesn't understand the U.S. political system and doesn't know Trump isn't on the ballot. What an absolute buffoon.

Low energy Trump reading straight from the teleprompter during his lies and braggadocio at the UN. What a complete embarrassment.

Who else wants to elect a Congress that will show up for work and then actually work for us, all of us? If you are not sure how a sliver of your time can make a difference, talk one on one with someone who is happy to help: volunteerblue.org/action-coach...

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...
