This was true in October 2016 when the Washington Post editorial board posted it, and has been proven true every day since.

Name calling from a draft dodger doesn't bother me. What bothers me is a clueless commander in chief who took our country to war without a strategy because no one around him has the guts to tell him when he's wrong.

“No quarter” isn’t some wanna be tough guy line - it means something. An order to give no quarter would mean to take no prisoners and kill them instead. That would violate the law of armed conflict. It would be an illegal order. It would also put American service members at greater risk. Pete Hegseth should know better than to throw around terms like this.

@JaredEMoskowitz Mike Johnson is an abject failure as a politician and a human being.

This is a Mistake. If you start this, it will never end. When Dems retake the House, they will condition aid to Florida and Texas. Disaster Aid must stay non partisan. I would fight democrats should they try and do this. The Speaker can find many other ways to hold people accountable

[Manu Raju @mkraju]

New — Asked Speaker Johnson about placing conditions on aid to California, and he tells us: “I think there should be conditions on that aid.” Said that’s his personal view before talking with the conference.

Also says “there’s some discussion” within the House GOP about tying the debt limit increase to the aid “but we will see how it goes.”

Aid to rebuild after natural disasters often is approved without any conditions and with significant bipartisan support. But there could be a big fight over the California aid in the coming weeks.

The state funeral for James Earl “Jimmy” Carter, Jr., the 39th President of the United States, was as well attended by dignitaries as one might expect — or hope.

As Trump & his subordinates continue to walk back & renige on one campaign promise after another, MAGA can take comfort in knowing that Trump didn’t mean any of it & was only saying that shit to win the election so he can stay out of prison & further enrich himself & his friends.

Look at Comer with his Trump picture book and hat. What a tool.

Republicans introduced a bill to buy Greenland and rename the Gulf of Mexico.

Lowering the price of groceries was never going to be as important to them as legitimizing Trump’s authoritarian ramblings.

3) I would suggest Democrats, if possible, put a rider on this bill that provides federal legal protections for abortion reciprocity. That being, making it illegal for a state to prosecute women who travel to other states for abortions. Let’s see how the GOP likes that.

[🇺🇦Radio Free NAFO Jack’s House @FluteMagician]

2) Republicans don’t want women to travel to other states to get abortions banned in their states. And they want to be able to prosecute women who do. So carrying a gun into another state that doesn’t allow it is good. But going to another state for an abortion isn’t. So⬇️

Why is the stock market again sliding today? Simple because the games are over and Wall Street knows Trump's massive tariffs will crash the economy. In a year from now everyone with a 401k, IRA and or stock portfolio are going to be missing the Democratic administration. (save this post)

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Mexico and Canada are sending firefighters to risk their lives to help fight the fires in California. They aren’t asking for anything in return.

Meanwhile, MAGA is busy denigrating Mexico and threatening to annex Canada

[Matthew Gertz @MattGertz]

Even if RFK Jr. is not confirmed, high-profile hearings featuring his vaccination conspiracy theories seem like to make this worse. https://t.co/tjbF5q0jA7

It is a damn good question

[NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel]

“The lack of pushback on Trump’s immediate misinformation regarding the Los Angeles fires proves this point. Not a single member of the GOP stood up to him. No one suggested, as a people, Republicans were better than that - they accepted Trump’s trolling and displayed zero empathy to the victims. That is their brand now and they have accepted it. Tragedy has become transactional for MAGA. Especially since the conservative movement’s biggest benefactors have ALWAYS been the oil and gas industry.” https://t.co/cp3lBP5jbv

On I-405 southbound just south of NE 124th St (MP 20) there is a disabled vehicle blocking the HOV lane.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Trump has no intention of being a President for all Americans.

He benefits from the division he creates during real crises and the ones he manufactures, by distracting everyone from his harmful agenda, corruption and incompetence.

That’s the MAGA grift.

New in PN: Trump's thuggish response to the CA fires is a bad omen

"Trump & his minions are already using the fires to score cheap political points while Americans suffer. It’s an ominous reminder of, and prelude to, his mob boss approach to being POTUS" https://t.co/UUN5cbRtam
