Meanwhile, in the Nation's Capital staffing is going along swimmingly well at Donald Trump's new television station. 😁😂🫣

Politics is literally spun until it breaks. The tortured twisting of reality is an immutable component of the current American political landscape. - News / Analysis / Opinion - No chatty DMs accepted or responded to. Don't bother trying to sell anything.
NFL QB for the New York Giants embraced Trump at a MAGA rally Now he is in a brace out for the season with an injury Karma would like a word
The cracks are beginning to show in the Trump alliance and with the midterms still weeks away. This means that with wholesale losses in the House, and a possible capture of the Senate, the Trump presidency will be all but over. 😑
Trump has launched state propaganda on the White House website called Trump TV, a 24/7 stream on YouTube. It’s something done in most authoritarian governments around the world.
Athletes are among the most susceptible to snake oil in my experience. Tom Brady is a prime example in American football.

Cryotherapy chambers and other practices in the elite game have little evidence behind them, says Dr Claire-Marie Roberts, a top performance director

A huge thank you to CNN, MS NOW, Politico, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News, PBS News, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, HuffPost, the Associated Press, Reuters, Getty Images, and AFP for standing together in defense of a free press.
He was one of the ones who started all this bs. The hatred. The division. No one misses his sorry ass.
MS NOW, CNN & Politico announced they will sue the White House today for banning them, legend 1st and 5th amendment violations.
When it rains in Southern California, the conversation can take a strange turn.
The Mitch McConnell situation is a travesty and a disgrace. The guy doesn't know what planet he's on. This is American politics during the Trump era. The country deserves so much better than this. 🫤😑 Vote Blue. Nov. 2026.
I don’t want to hear any bullshit about I’m not voting for a progressive or I’m not voting for a moderate. It’s fucking stupid. Just vote blue! we can fix it later.
How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.
Skip the civil war fantasy. The midterms are still winnable; he is still losing in court, and the actual work is boring and unglamorous, and nobody gets to feel heroic doing it. Predicting doom in advance is the cheapest possible way to sit this one out.
BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel says his interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico will NOT air on ABC due to threats from Trump’s FCC. The interview will instead be posted to YouTube.
Donald Trump’s definition of voter fraud is when a non-white person votes.
Don't believe for a minute that everyone in Canada hates the United States because of Donald Trump. The intelligent people on both sides of the border are playing the long game. There's no sense in burning down the house, to save the house.
I saw a meme today that said that books are proof that strangers can meet across centuries and still understand each other. That really resonated.
This is what Donald J. Trump has done to America's reputation. The world's sole remaining superpower on the take.
Why can't Democrats be more like Republicans and just hold their nose and vote for whoever the Democrat is on the ticket? Enough with the bullshit purity tests. That ain't getting us anywhere.
You know why felon won in 2024 against all odds? They focused on *winning* the election. Not on purity tests or ideological infighting, JUST WINNING. I’m begging Dems to focus on that. Win first, then on November 4, argue all day. Please focus.
Donald Trump is obviously ill, and in mental decline. Are there any Republicans, at all, in Washington DC who care more about the country, than their own political careers. Doesn't seem to be.
“The Charlie Kirk situation caused … institutions to completely have this meltdown of cowardice, fear, temporary insanity. Now, they’re facing the year-long Charlie Kirk hangover."
Karen Attiah fought the Washington Post and won
Employers who fired their staff for posts about Charlie Kirk have lost a string of high-profile disputes.

Is Mitch McConnell still not dead? Is he allergic to TV cameras? Why do the people of Kentucky put up with this BS? 🤨
CARVILLE to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: “One thing all Dems agree on— You do not meet with them. F*ck these people. Any business we have with them will be subject to you under oath.” That Jeffries couldn’t predict this reaction says it all about how out of touch he is with voters. (not donors🤔)
Thanks for everything, Dolly. ❤️ Dolly being Dolly on Carson in 1977
