Never was politically active until February 2017.
When will we the voters choose our representatives rather than the representatives choosing their voters?

@RpsAgainstTrump Who’s next . . .
Rosanne Barr for Sharyn Alfonsi and Rob Schneider for Scott Pelley?

I've had many vaccines

I've never had tetanus, diphtheria, polio, measles, pertussis, rubella, mumps or smallpox

Pretty good tradeoff

BREAKING: Donald Trump calls JB Pritzker a “dumb, stupid slob.”

Just a reminder that JB Pritzker just balanced the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit AND has signed relief for groceries and gas.

Trump is a 5th grade bully who apparently needs to look in the mirror.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

I call Donald Trump America’s enemy. I’ll continue to call him that. Our elections are the heartbeat of our democracy. Without elections, our democracy dies. Anyone who attacks our elections is our enemy. Trump attacks our elections. Always. Hell, he tried to overthrow one of our elections. He purposely sows distrust in our elections. Only an enemy of this country would do that.

[Molly Ploofkins @Mollyploofkins]

Shame on every reporter in the room who stays silent while Trump launches personal attacks against their female colleagues.

When he continues to falsely claim that prices are falling after Biden was President, is he dumb or does he just know his followers are dumb?

THE PRESIDENTIAL FAMILY LOVES TO SURROUND THEMSELVES WITH PEDOPHILES 🤷

Is something wrong with the president’s health and what does Marco Rubio know?

Bryce Mitchell on Trump's White House UFC fight:

Our government is desecrating its role in society by entertaining sports. Our government is to protect and serve the people. Our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation. The government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.

Do you AGREE with Lawrence O'Donnell?

Yes 👍
No 👎

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

@RoryfromtheLand What an incisive, critical thinking, profound post.

Cleveland must be so proud to claim you as a citizen, “Rory”.

@RoryfromtheLand @JoJoFromJerz @JamesTate121 Rory,if that is your actual name,Hunter is an adult & self-admitted drug addict,who is in recovery.Hunter was never acting as a government official.

What’s your excuse for your human failings,which appear to be many based on your cuckolding for an adjudicated rapist?

Thanks☺️

@Bugs34084971679 @JoJoFromJerz @JamesTate121 You mean like how the Pedophile-Protector-in-Chief “washes his mouth out with soap”, “Buggsy Malone”?

Please advise.

Jill Biden just exposed the most painfully awkward limo ride of Melania Trump’s life.
In her new memoir “A View from the East Wing,” Jill writes about Inauguration Day 2025, when tradition required her to ride from the White House to the Capitol with Melania after the pre‑inauguration tea. It should have been a symbolic handoff between first ladies. Instead, she says, Melania sat “stone‑faced,” barely speaking, clearly furious over the FBI search of Mar‑a‑Lago for Trump’s hoard of classified documents.
Jill actually tries to show empathy: she notes that as first lady she had her own home searched by agents as part of the investigation, and that she knows “how distressing it was to have agents rummage through your underwear drawer.”
Melania, Jill writes, wasn’t having it. She blamed Joe personally, acting as if the normal chain of law‑enforcement and courts didn’t exist and the president himself had ordered a raid on her bedroom.
The tension was so thick that the inaugural committee didn’t dare put the two women alone together. Jill says they recruited Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s husband, John Bessler, as a human buffer and plopped him in the middle seat.
Bessler did what Midwestern dads do in impossible situations: he tried small talk. He asked about Barron’s studies at NYU. Melania, staring out the window, gave him a single word: “NYU.” Every attempt to shift the conversation back to something neutral — the weather, the ceremony — died in the air. In Jill’s telling, the presidents’ limo up ahead was probably tense too, but at least Joe and Trump were talking. In the first ladies’ car, it was just cold silence and one‑word answers all the way up Pennsylvania Avenue.
Jill uses the story to make a broader point: this wasn’t a one‑off. She writes that Melania declined her invitation to the traditional 2021 inauguration tea when Joe first took office, breaking a norm that has survived even the ugliest transitions.
Four years later, when the roles reversed and the Trumps came back to the White House, Melania still didn’t extend the same courtesy back. In every interaction Jill describes, Melania shows zero grace — even compared to other first ladies who have quietly swallowed humiliations and still showed up for the sake of the country.
And here’s the part that matters beyond the gossip. Trump has spent years telling his followers that the Mar‑a‑Lago search was a personal vendetta by “the Bidens,” not the result of him hiding boxes of classified nuclear and military documents in a ballroom, a bathroom, and a basement.
Melania apparently believes that narrative so deeply that she can’t even make small talk in a limo without seething. Jill, who knows firsthand what it’s like to have agents go through your things, points out the obvious subtext: it’s not the invasion of privacy Melania is truly angry about. It’s that her husband was finally treated like any other citizen who hoards national‑defense secrets and refuses to give them back.
We don’t often get honest, human‑level snapshots of what power feels like up close. This one matters because it captures the collision between entitlement and accountability.
Jill Biden is sitting there thinking about how to show a little solidarity over something painful that neither woman directly controlled. Melania Trump is sitting there convinced that nothing in her orbit — not an FBI warrant, not a criminal investigation, not even the peaceful transfer of power — should happen without her family’s permission, and furious at anyone who suggests otherwise.

In a few years, historians will write whole chapters about classified documents, indictments, and constitutional crises.
For now, it’s worth remembering this image: two first ladies in the back of a limousine, one trying to keep a fragile tradition alive, the other staring out the window, still unable to see that the law applies to her husband, too.

James Carville on Bill Pulte: “He’s got one job: do everything he can to fuck with the election on behalf of Trump. If you were a traitor president, you would put an idiot [as DNI]. This is what you would do if you were trying to destroy the country. I think Trump hates the US”
