Call me stupid, but what the hell happened to the Emoluments Clause? The words are still in the constitution- but yet they don’t exist?
🚨 Obama rejects the argument that the market and lawsuits alone can keep AI companies in check: “That’s not how we treat airlines, or drug companies, or food companies.” He says there’s “no replacement” for effective government regulation.
It’s really that simple. His ego and megalomania tie everything together—the war, the tariffs, the economy, affordability, the grift, the corruption, and his attempts to glorify himself with shiny objects large and small.

Morally vacant and beyond redemption; they continue to defend him.
Mike Johnson brags about 900 bills like a kid who wrote 900 letters to Santa and got nothing. Least productive Congress in history, dozens of voting days canceled, and now they've gone home until after the election. They're still collecting paychecks for a job they quit.

The most incompetent administration in history by far, populated by idiots from top to bottom putting all of our lives in danger.
It should be illegal to buy a company with debt and then sell it off to a foreign owner, but that fight was lost long ago. Anyway, now the Saudis own a truly distressing portion of American entertainment, from Hollywood to Video Games to Sports. This is not neutral behavior. Anyway.

🚨 THIS IS A FUCKING RED ALERT. Trump is banning CNN, MS NOW & POLITICO from the White House because he hates their coverage. A president deciding which news organizations get access to the government is not a free-press principle. This is how press freedom gets crushed: 🇺🇸 is NOT a dictatorship.
Mike Johnson tried to claim this was one of the most productive Congresses ever. Then a brutal fact check appeared right beneath his post for all to see.

We really have to consider the possibility that we elected the dumbest motherfucker in America. Twice. Do better, people.

This is the Republican Party. Corrupt as hell, constantly starting wars, blowing up the deficit, giving tax cuts for billionaires, bailing out corporations, cutting health care, making everything more expensive, while serving up culture war drivel to distract you from all that.
My parents thought I had Polio. I got the vaccine and it turned out I didn’t. Anyone who does anything to make parents like mine worry about this is a god damned bastard. Fuck these people.

Rep. Dan Meuser just makes stuff up: "The Panama Canal was lost during the Biden administration. President Trump brought it back."
It’s really so insane. Words mean things, @washingtonpost. If we buy something for you we didn’t “sell” it to you. This isn’t rocket science.
Trump: "I could've banned fishing. The power of this office is crazy. I could've banned fishing. I think I'm gonna do that."
I usually attribute Trump's bizarre ramblings to either his psychopathic lying or his psychotic delusions, or some combination of the two. But this is just him being an economically illiterate moron.
Democratic strategists: Ahhh! What's the right message!!?? Where do we moderate!?!? Jon Ossoff: This administration is horrible. I hate these people. We should put them in jail. I'm pissed Voters: This guy is cool Strategists: I can't figure it out!!!!!
