Mom/g-mom, blue dot in a super red CA county, current events/political junkie, music/music festival enthusiast. Figuring out what to do in my second act. Want to be Chrissie Hynde in my next life. Harsh - but not necessarily wrong - opinions all my own. 🤘🤘

It is journalistic malpractice that major news outlets are not producing 5-alarm-fire reports to warn the public that the president of the United States is out of his mind.

Trump posts a map of New Mexico with the word "Mexico" crossed out and "America" added in its place.

Newsom in North Carolina: "We're dealing with an invasive species in the White House. It's something we're never experienced before -- someone who said he was gonna make us wealthier and healthier, and we're sicker now and poorer in every category."

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."

CHRIS WRIGHT: The diesel situation has been challenging because Russian refineries have suffered significant damage BRENNAN: Well, you could also say Russian shouldn't have invaded Ukraine and then they'd still be able to export

When they do this, it's not enough to reject the demand. You've got to shove it back in their face, and ask why they never ask Republicans to denounce the racist mass murderer who is their party's top donor and who was given the keys to the federal government to cause mass chaos.

Raskin after Kristen Welker plays him clips of controversial Hasan Piker comments and asks him to react to them: "I think all of that is an irrelevant distraction"

Chris Wright makes clear there is no timeframe for elections in Venezuela, which is now effectively a colony of the Trump administration

Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.

The culture of fear and intimidation instilled at the Department of Defense all stemming from Pete Hegseth’s incompetence and insecurities. A never ending quest to hide the truth from the American people and hunt down anyone who lets the truth leak out.

Congratulations to the New York Times' Euphemism Desk for coming up with a new one. Instead of stating that Maria Bartiromo was letting her guests lie, NYT says she was "permitting her guest commentators to free-associate." 1/2🧵

He had no such issues with Ms. Bartiromo, whose approach — at times permitting guest commentators to free-associate on live television — had not appeared to change much in the years since the Dominion settlement. Puck, a news website, earlier reported on Ms. Bartiromo’s conversations with Mr. Navarro.

The NYT ran an article in April raising questions about Trump’s mental status, quoting people calling him “clearly insane,” “an extremely sick person,” “unhinged,” “out of control,” “batshit crazy,” and “a genocidal lunatic.” Then they never mentioned it again. presswatchers.org/2026/04/new-...

New York Times finally reports on concerns that Trump is ‘clearly insane’ | Press Watch

That’s a big deal. But now what? It’s more than a one-day story.

It would be nice if someone could explain this community note to him. Having a president with a basic understanding of how trade works doesn’t seem like a ton to ask. Meanwhile our farmers are getting crushed.
