Hmm, the savings from how many pens would be necessary to pay for the war?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: You see this pen right here? This pen is very inexpensive. But it writes well. I like it. Sharpie. I came here. They had $1,000 pens. You hand out pens. You hand them to people. 30, 40 people. They were $1,000 a piece. Beautiful pen, ball point. I hand out to kids that don't know. It's kid getting a pen for $1,000. They have no idea what it is.

I had another problem. They didn’t write well. I sign—no ink. I have all you people looking and say there must be something wrong with Trump. There is no ink in the pen. It cost $1,000.

Trump is getting the territorial equivalent of a participation trophy in Greenland.

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

Ah, yes, the 4-D chess excuse, rationale, fiction. @RadioFreeTom

[Mark @markofbrooklyn]

@RadioFreeTom Now comes the MAGA pundits explaining that this was Trump’s plan all along.

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

Sad, pathetic need for affirmation from anyone. The rest of us will know that he never won it but he will awake at 2:00 a.m. convinced it was awarded to HIM. Pity the pretend king who is less than a pauper due to his relentless need for any, even staged admiration. #mtpol

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

BREAKING: trump just accepted the Nobel Peace Prize from Maria Corina Machado, the world's biggest most pathetic participation trophy!

Congrats, MAGA! Your leader is a second hand CHUMP!

@disclosetv "We're screwed" it's your policy perhaps you should have checked its legality before not after.

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

Doesn’t civility begin with the government, established to serve its citizens.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Rep. Roger Williams: "People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil."

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

Great work schedule if you can get it!😂

[Chris Mehl @ChrisMehl7]

Do much? This is the proposed U.S. House work schedule for 2026--with 23 weeks spent not legislating. Maybe we're safer if they're not meeting...

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

It seems, Senator, you and your GOP colleagues are holding hostages by failing to negotiate to get legislation that would garner enough votes. That is political malpractice. Try legislating i.e. find the common ground. #mtpol

[Steve Daines @SteveDaines]

It’s unacceptable that Chuck Schumer is holding food stamps for our MT tribes hostage.

It’s time for Senate Dems to join Republicans in passing our clean, bipartisan bill to reopen the government & fully fund food stamps.

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

The way governing works is you don’t send a piece of legislation, that you were warned wouldn’t get the votes, to the Senate. You negotiate to create something that WILL get the votes. House sent something over that was DOA, political malpractice. #mtpol

[Media Lies @MediasLies]

Senator Lujan (D-NM) lists off a number of things that he says prove the GOP is responsible for keeping the government shut down.

He omits that 60 votes are required to overcome the filibuster. There are only 53 GOP senators.

Democrats have the power to reopen the government immediately, but have refused 13 times.

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

Thinking the tax cut in that horrendously bad bill doesn’t cover the premium increase. #mtpol

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨BREAKING: The final numbers are in for Trump’s budget healthcare increase and they are GRIM: Anyone 60 years old and making $75k a year will see an $841 increase to monthly insurance premiums!!

Share this everywhere!

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

Administration of incompetent,pathetic leaders. Constituents are suffering immediate harm and “We’re having fun”. #mtpol

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Q: Is it helpful to post pictures of Leader Jeffries in a sombrero if you're trying to have good faith talks with him?

Vance: Oh, I think it's funny. We're having a good time.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

Hit the button on that Mace post accidentally. Comment: Mace apparently doesn’t understand the idea of a trial.SMH

[RedWave Press @RedWavePress]

Nancy Mace: “I don’t disagree with Trump that James Comey — he was under oath. He lied to Congress, that is a crime. That is perjury.”

Bill Maher: “Do we know that as a fact?”

Nancy Mace: “Well, I would say a grand jury of his peers — 14 people — indicted him over this.”

BOOM!

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

Clear, simple and true.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

Uncertainty hurts demand. Tariffs raise costs. Immigration crackdowns shrink the workforce. Add them together, and here we are: Uncertain, unhappy, and worried.

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

@atrupar Miller appears to have a serious problem connecting his own dots. If all of the protestors were 90 yr olds needing naps why would they be out in such a “dangerous” place? Undermining his own rationale, smh.

[Matthew Gertz @MattGertz]

Propaganda vs news

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Trump on January 6: Nancy Pelosi stopped me from sending the DC National Guard to protect the Capitol.

Trump tomorrow: the President of the United States has complete control over the DC National Guard.

Make it make sense.

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

@atrupar Apparently irony is deceased.

[Jim Hamilton @JimHamiltonHD61]

@WhiteHouse @nytimes @ChrisVanHollen So which is it? You said in court you wrongly deported Garcia. Lying then, lying now? #mtpol
