…”and everyone knows it”? It’s undemocratic when the White House Press Secretary assumes the entitlement to tell a diverse citizenry with a two-party system of opposing perspectives what it knows (according to their own political bias)

#Trump and GOP claimed that they had a “mandate” to govern. They have now demonstrated that their “mandate” requires support from Democrats for a functioning government. Time for the “negotiator and chief” to demonstrate “the art of the deal” to end the #GovernmentShutdown

CONFIRMATION BIAS: a tendency to process information by looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with their existing beliefs. This biased approach to decision making results in a person ignoring information that is inconsistent with their beliefs.

Pettiness in politics is not presidential.

“Democrat reporters”. Othering anyone that you disagree with is the common thread that MAGA has woven into our national dialog.

….because people fleeing poverty, persecution and oppression to be exploited in underpaying jobs in the US have 20% down payments to outbid Americans in the real estate market.

It must be exhausting to be a Republican. First, releasing the Epstein files was a Trump campaign promise. Then the AG confirmed she would release the files. Then they said there were no files. Now the files are a Democrat hoax.

Diddy documentaries, mass layoffs, Epstein lists, military patrols, raids, and deliberate trolling by the White House social media team…why are we like this?

Trump wants to bypass insurance companies and fund healthcare directly for “the people”. Isn’t that single payer healthcare? Sounds great, I’m sure Trump has plan to prevent the total collapse of the healthcare industry (and it’s employees) as we know it

What kind of a man accepts a prize that was awarded to someone else?

The president joked that he could shoot someone in the street. The VP said that ICE has total immunity. The DHS Secretary slandered a man that was killed for helping a woman that had been thrown into the street. Now they will all blame the agents that they emboldened. #ICE

Last week the sitting US president amplified a racist trope. Questioned a female journalist’s credibility because she didn’t smile enough. Insulted an Olympic athlete. Complained about a halftime show. These are serious times, we deserve serious leadership.

Demanding a public apology from Attorney General Pamela Bondi was a provocative stunt. Rep. Pramila Jayapal could have made their point more effectively if they had ceded their time to the AG to share a message on behalf of DOJ to the survivors in the room. Public embarrassment is not statesmanship.

Republicans use data to say ICE agents are in danger from the public. Dems use data to say the public is in danger from ICE agents. Where’s the data outlining the best strategy for accomplishing this administration’s objectives? Armed, masked thugs isn’t working. #DHS #ICE

“Washington modeled what it means to put the good of the nation over self-interest and selfish ambition. He embodied integrity and modeled why it’s worth aspiring to” #presidentsday #GeorgeWBush open.substack.com/pub/inpursuit/…

Trump illegally disrupted global economies taxed 175 billion dollars.

Every time Trump’s administration fails to deliver what’s been promised (tariffs, ICE, DOGE, DHS, DOJ), their knee-jerk response is “the voters elected him“. Who’s going to tell them?

There's still 3 million Epstein files to be released to the American public, and this is what your FBI Director is doing instead.

“The appearance of impropriety” was once enough to end careers. It’s a phrase I haven’t heard in a long time.
