@TheDalesReport Absolutely critical point that @AlderLaneEggs keeps making -

Gambling is *so much worse* than cannabis, with regard to impact to society from its consumption.

Yet we let 18yo gamble their life away from their fucking phone

@ocxg1958 I think Carlson will help you a lot. Keep an eye out.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

I’d say unbelievable, but I haven’t been in a coma for the past 10 years. Whenever there’s a crisis, Trump calls Putin and comes out reciting the Kremlin line and singing Putin's praises. Trump is Putin's creature and the GOP is complicit.

@KAErdmann Your sarcasm font needs to be more obvious.

Netanyahu has spent his entire adult life trying to go to war with Iran, and Donald Trump was the only person stupid and narcissistic enough to indulge him.

Hey America, now that the threat of terrorist attacks is at an all time high, you can breath easy because your anti-terrorism program is being led by 23-year-old Thomas Fugate an ex-gardener & grocery clerk with no qualifications, no experience & no national security background.

My Message to Republican Lawmakers

You built this.
Not the voters.
Not the media.
YOU.

You saw the instability. You saw the narcissism. You saw the appetite for chaos. And...instead of containing it, you harnessed it. You fed it. You rode it. You told yourselves you could control it.

You created a political Frankenstein...and...now you’re shocked that the monster doesn’t take orders.

For a decade, you have watched as he scorched institutions...smeared allies...embraced authoritarians... and turned the presidency...into a grievance machine with nuclear codes.

You knew better. Many of you said so privately. Yet publicly? Silence. Applause. Fundraising emails.

You traded constitutional principle for short-term power. You surrendered oversight for party unity. You let fear of primaries outweigh fear for the republic.

And now?

Now you watch death overseas...instability abroad... corrosion at home...and...you still hesitate. You still calculate. You still ask what the base will tolerate.

Leadership...is not about surviving the next news cycle. It is about protecting the system...when it is inconvenient to do so.

You cannot claim surprise. You cannot claim helplessness. You had votes. You had hearings. You had leverage. You had moments...countless moments...to draw a line.

Instead...you normalized what should have disqualified.

History will not remember your press releases. It will remember whether you defended the guardrails or dismantled them.

YOU built this.

The question...now...is whether you finally dare to contain it...or...whether you will stand there again...hands clasped...pretending the fire wasn’t lit by you in the first place.

Clearly, I jest.
You’re all cowards.
You’re all gutless punks.

You are walking, talking examples of a corrupt political system...one that protects itself...and only itself.

It's been a long ten years, and it's not over yet. I left the party long ago, but I still wear this shirt like a badge of honor. Long after I've left this earth, I want my nieces and nephews to remember one thing, that I was forever a Never Trumper.

craven politicians using the issue to undermine our free and fair elections."

@greggnunziata I think you were wrong on the first one.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @AGPamBondi: You did the one thing your king ordered you not to do: you made Trump look guilty.

You also lied under oath.

And you surveilled the search history of Congress Members.

We are impeaching you when we flip the House. Unless you resign first.

Good evening.

Stocking Trump wines at Coast Guard retail stores and hosting the 2026 G20 Summit at Trump's resort could be violations of the Constitution's Emoluments Clauses.

We've filed complaints.
