Holy shit, this sick old man can't even keep himself upright, seated in the Oval Office.

He's practically sideways. How TF is this not a bigger story?

At least 97 January 6th insurrectionists have been charged with or convicted of crimes after being pardoned by Trump.

That’s almost $1000 per day?

having dinner at a hotel bar the other night struck up a conversation with a mid-level United Healthcare exec. he told me he puts over $300,000 a year on his company credit card just for entertaining clients. In case you’re wondering why you can’t afford health insurance

He should be in a room with padded walls. 25th Amendment.👇

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Not AI

Trump fell asleep again during a public event in the Oval Office today.

He now falls asleep at virtually every public event where he’s seated. We can only imagine what happens when the cameras aren’t there.

The president is clearly unwell.

25th Amendment now.

Of all the Fun Facts I've ever shared here, this one is the funnest.

Because it's TRUE. 😆

MAJOR BREAKING: Iran is currently attacking US Interests in Iraq, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

They are making us look like fools right now.

Trump is such a joke.

Probably the dumbest thing one could say about insurance:

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Did you know that Trump pardoned 77 people that stole from Medicare.
Is Trump selling pardons? That would be enough to send Trump away.

The American “criminal justice” system in a nutshell:

[P a u l ◉ @SkylineReport]

What makes this clip so politically damaging is that he wasn’t trapped into saying something outrageous. He was handed a softball opportunity to acknowledge that Americans are drowning in credit card debt just to afford necessities, and his first instinct was to reassure viewers that the credit card companies were doing fine.

That answer tells people everything they need to know about whose pain he notices first.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

BREAM: The Journal says the percentage of delinquent credit card balances is 13%, the highest since the period following the financial crisis. People say they're using them for necessities. Your message to them?

HASSETT: We talk to the CEOs of the credit card companies all the time. Delinquency is different from default, and there's not any financial threat to the credit card companies. It's just people are taking a little bit longer.

Reminder: Virginia Giuffre’s original memoir was titled “The Billionaire’s Playboy Club.”

It was never released.

The title alone tells you this was never really about Jeffrey Epstein alone.

Release the complete Epstein files

Has Hegseth finished that “investigation” of what happened on the bombing of the elementary school where all those kids are killed?

Americans talked about My Lai for years. Decades. Now nothing seems to matter anymore and we just move on.

When do we get the findings from that?

🚨 THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A REAL REBELLION.

For months, Republicans have marched in lockstep behind nearly everything coming out of Trump's White House.

Not this time.

According to Ted Cruz, at least 20 Republican senators were furious during a closed-door meeting with Todd Blanche over the anti-weaponization fund.

Twenty. Not Democrats. Republicans. 🔥
The fund wasn't some long-planned policy priority.

According to reporting, it emerged because Trump's legal team was running into a major problem:

How do you justify the President suing his own government, collecting a settlement, and then creating a mechanism to distribute money tied to that settlement?

Now the issue has escaped the courtroom and landed in Congress's lap.

And senators want nothing to do with it.
