Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 21h agoTom Emmer on Republicans trailing Dems by 8 points in the generic ballot: "Right now there are great things happening in our economy. Nobody wants to talk about 78 cent eggs, nobody wants to talk about milk that's under $2. No no. They want to focus on gas prices."
Nothing is too far for the GOP. Which should alarm us all

Accurate except the cartoon should be of a woman. Because that’s mostly who Trump fires

In the end, expecting anything but capitulation from a GOP official is foolishness. This was how we all expected it to end Ultimately whoever becomes AG under Trump will be terrible, and it’s up to the next administration to hold them to account

We had so many patients on high flow oxygen that people at the end of the supply lines couldn’t get what they needed. Never happened before. Or since. Fuck off, RFK Jr
Gabriel Bosslet@gbosslet.bsky.social · 3d agoRFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>
Yup. I remember early on printing out a letter that in theory we might have to show as to why I was out (Healthcare worker going to hospital). It sat in car, never used, because there was never anything approaching a lockdown.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 3d agoPlease stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
Good morning from a village so charming even our delayed flight/lost luggage is forgotten 👍🏻
Not even gonna bother to look at how breathless Axios is over this…

This is supposed to reassure us?!? He has access to the nuclear codes. Getting anxious and losing connection with reality isn’t ok 😳😳😳
Peggy Stuart@peggystuart.bsky.social · 3d agoEven Trump's own GOP allies can't pretend his lies are normal anymore—Sen. John Kennedy just casually outed him live on air by admitting Trump "grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought" and just rambles fiction as fact. We have an absolute clown show running the government!
Ahh to be a member of Trump’s club, watch his sorry carcass “beat” you, then be told you don’t have talent, and finally have so little self-respect that you sit there and ask for more 🤮🤮🤮
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoTrump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”
Lotta golf guys have shaming as their kink, I guess. To each their own 🤷🏻♂️

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d ago😳 RFK Jr's epic CNN crashout 😳 Dana Bash pressed RFK Jr on Trump's culpability for mishandling covid and the misinformation he pushes about vaccines, and the segment wound down with him getting mad and barking at her like a rabid dog Here's the full thing:
Yup: “And with decreasing vaccination rates across the country, these sparks are falling on increasingly dry timber.”
Melody Schreiber@melodyschreiber.com · 3d agoThere's a new measles outbreak in Delaware after a decade with no cases.

Senator Moreno should worry less about Fauci’s diary and more about what his congressional colleague is doing to his daughter 🤷🏻♂️
Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social · 6d agoEmily Moreno’s lawyers filed for a restraining order today against her ex-husband, GOP Rep. Max Miller, whom she has accused of domestic abuse. “Unless restrained, [Miller] will continue to harass, threaten and communicate with my counsel directly,” Moreno said in court papers.
The @washingtonpost.com is incapable of printing the word “lie“ about Trump. Or even the far weaker “without evidence“. They are a broken paper, living off of past glory while they sink into oblivion.
These allegations are awful. This is a psychopath, and they’re circling the wagons around him 😳
