Trump goes to war -- knocks down east wing to build ballroom, carving his name on everything. putting up gold all around himself, wants an arch, a $1.8b fund... money for that. why not for people who need it?

Mike Johnson admits Republicans will cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security next year

@RogerMarshallMD, you're an idiot. shameful to the core. You don't care for famers. You don't care for veterans. Hell, you don't even want to live in Kansas. You love Florida. You need to retire. Let someone who cares be Senator FROM Kansas. pathetic blaming Biden after 2yrs.

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

Senator Marshall disgraces himself, blaming Biden for a flesh-eating screw worm in Texas, despite the fact Biden hasn't been POTUS for 2 years, and Republicans run Texas.

The Biden Derangement Syndrome is real.

THE WORST 'IN MEMORIUM' EVER
poorly chosen song,
the sound was horrible.
that guitar annoying.
disrespectful to those honored.
I could barely pay attention to the pictures as I was trying to block out the sound. shameful

[John (Jigen) Griffin-Atil @JohnEdwin1964]

keep speaking.
this is terrifying. we must raise all of our voices against this monster who's attempting to control the message.
Thank you, Mr. Pelley

[Niall Stanage @NiallStanage]

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

@MayorToddGloria @usmayors you say you're gay, but never see your partner. heard he exists, but where is he? do these folks know of your reputation in San Diego? People hardly throwing confetti from their windows for you. You've always had a way of looking down on your people. brushed me aside many times.

Stick it to @CBS --- they deserve to pay for what they did to you, @StephenAtHome. Love you! I am done with that orange sucking @CBS .

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Stephen Colbert got his band to play licensed music during his final show so CBS would be sued for using the music illegally.

“Oh no! I hope this doesn't cost CBS any money!”

THE DREAM IS BECOMING REALITY
ten years, I’ve held a vision — a new Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center and a new home for our most vulnerable seniors. A place where dignity isn’t determined by income, where neighbors are seen and supported, and where community can flourish.

These kids during Trump's rant represent all of America

[Kate❤️‍🔥💕 @katee_K1]

BREAKING: Joint Base Andrews horror.
Security Forces kicked in the wrong door — no knock, no warning — guns drawn on a kid fresh home from school.
A child in his uniform, sitting on the couch eating a snack, suddenly had multiple guns pointed at his head.
They screamed commands, frisked him at gunpoint, refused to explain.
Seconds later: “Oops… wrong house.”
Casual apology. They holstered and left.
No names. No real follow-up. The traumatized boy is now too scared to leave his room.
Armed raid on a child… over a wrong address.

Thank you for standing by me and showing me so much love and support over the past year. I’ve still got some healing to do, but I am on my way! See you soon. 💖 🦋
