Chip Franklin: “The GOP MAGA movement is ripe with these pervy fuckers like Pete Hegseth who trapped a woman in his hotel room, assaulted her, paid her off to sign an NDA, and then later blamed her for it. Fuck you, Hegseth. Fuck you Bill O’Reilly and of course the Babe Ruth of sick pervs, Man Titties”

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Normally when a sitting president has historically low approval ratings heading into midterms, candidates from his party in swing districts and states distance themselves from him during their campaigns. But Trump does not permit that, so they are stuck doubling down on failure.

This week, with Brandon Dukes’ victory in Pennsylvania House District 12, Democrats flipped our 31st state legislative seat from red to blue since Trump took office.

This district voted for Trump by more than 18 points and had been held by Republicans since 1999.

Anyone know what else happens in the next 90 days? Midterms.

He wants to lower the cost of meat, get your midterm vote, then you can go back to suffering.

Nancy Lacore rose from helicopter pilot to three-star admiral commanding 60,000 sailors. Then Pete Hegseth fired her without cause or explanation.
Lacore’s military career may have been cut short, but she’s not done serving. That’s why she's running to flip South Carolina's 1st Congressional District, and she's doing it the same way she treated every mission in uniform: tune out the noise and get it done.

@OccupyDemocrats Melania has to make a public showing because of all the publicity of Natalie replacing her as his wife.

BREAKING: UNHINGED! Trump's alleged mistress Natalie Harp blows her top on a paparazzi in a foul-mouthed explosion that proves her skin is just as thin as her cult leader's.

It's time to make this woman testify before Congress...

According to The Daily Mail, an intrepid cameraman spotted Harp — who is currently one of the biggest stories in the country thanks to her bizarre relationship with Trump — at an intersection in D.C. traffic.

When he began photographing and filming her, she took out her phone and began filming him in return. Demonstrating that same lack of safety and regard for human life that characterizes the entire administration, she then accelerated towards a crosswalk without her hands on the wheel so that she could keep filming.

Then, before speeding off for good, she looked at the photographer and mouthed "f*ck you."

Now, under normal circumstances, a simple "f*ck you" isn't necessarily evidence of derangement. We all lose our cool sometimes. But taken in the context of her broader pattern of behavior (this is the same woman who rode in the trunk of an SUV rather than get left behind by Trump as he headed to court in 2023 and who sendings him insane, fawning letters) it's clear that this woman is deeply unstable.

We want to be very clear here. We are not saying that Trump is definitely carrying on a sexual extramarital affair with this woman. Hell, in his demented and deteriorated state, we're not even sure that's physically possible. What we ARE saying is that there is something deeply strange going on here. We also know that Trump is a lifelong adulterer and sexual deviant.

We also know that all of MAGA world lost its collective mind when Senator Jon Ossoff made a passing reference to Harp and Trump traveling together. Hit dogs holler and where there's smoke there's fire.

The American people have a right to know their truth about their President. It's time for hearings.

Please ❤️ and share to demand that Congress force this woman to testify under oath about her relationship with Trump!

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

Yep. Natalie Harp “declined” to get a security clearance while working in the White House for over a year. How was this allowed? Because Trump intervened and made an exception for her, of course. This entire administration is a national security disaster.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Jon Ossoff got in their heads so badly they had to drag in Melania.

[Ford News @FordJohnathan5]

BREAKINGNEWS Congratulations you morons. US debt has went from 36.2 trillion to over 40 trillion in 18 months. Nearly 4 trillion dollars in a year and a half. Most likely will be 10 trillion to 12 trillion by time Trump leaves office.

7.8 trillion and 12 trillion adding up to nearly 20 trillion in 8 years. Obama had 8 trillion in 8 years. Trump could be responsible for 40% of our debt. 🚨

NEWS: The DNC is suing the Trump administration over its failure to turn over records about any plans to seize ballots, voting machines, or other election equipment in the midterms.

Nearly five months after the requests, the DNC says the FBI and DOJ have produced nothing.

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

Get the facts:

While Trump builds a $1 billion ballroom, his congressional GOP allies stripped several bipartisan pediatric cancer research and treatment provisions from a federal stopgap funding bill under pressure from conservative figures and lawmakers.

Additionally, subsequent administration budget proposals and National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant reductions resulted in further cuts and cancellations affecting pediatric cancer networks and clinical trials.

House Republicans also removed a package of bipartisan healthcare bills -- including provisions from the Give Kids a Chance Act and measures helping low-income children access cross-state specialty care—from a late-2024 continuing resolution.

The Trump regime and the National Cancer Institute later halted or phased out federal funding for specific long-standing research initiatives, such as the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium, alongside broader reductions in federal science grants.

Nobody has a plan better than Moses Mike. Clearly God is no longer taking his prayers and giving him the lowdown on what’s next.

To be fair it must be tough to persistently have to defend the indefensible and break the ninth commandment daily. That might explain why God’s not picking up.
