There was no GOP party platform in 2020, and Trump wants to shrink the proposed 2024 one. He opposes providing detail on how radical his second term will be because he knows its unpopular. Make no mistake: Project 2025 was written by Trump appointees & loyalists. Its their shared agenda.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

If they’re going to let trump get away with claiming that he finds parts of Project 2025 awful and disgusting, some member of the media should at least ask him “what part?”

That any elected officials participated in J6 is disturbing. That some of those folks also have prior records is bonkers.This guy's on a school board & has a been arrested for drunken driving & other crimes. He says he won't step down. That level of cognitive dissonace screams evangelical

Howard Dean seems like a pretty replacement level dem so I guess who cares but it’s a pretty good look at how the media furrowing their brows and going “we’re very concerned” is 100% bullshit nonsense that they arbitrarily apply to whatever story seems cool to them

Trump referred to the serial killer Hannibal Lecter as a “wonderful man” during a speech.~The Hill Trump has a persecution complex spreading monumental lies motivated by personal gain. He's an expert on criminal acts, scapegoating, & instigating people to feed off each others worst emotions.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

Yes, but just wait until our SCOTUS decides to intervene. Standing? Jurisdiction? Precedent? Common sense? Besides the point.

Two years ago we were on the White House South Lawn for the 4th of July Celebration. I love being on the lawn. I love the fountain. The Inflation Reduction Act, the largest climate action in history, would pass a few weeks later. On July 4th next year, let’s pass another Inflation Reduction Act.

Trump's Agenda 47 and Project 2025 are the blueprints for America’s destruction. If you love our country, you’ll vote for Joe Biden. It’s that simple.

I have no inside info on Joe Biden's health. I can only assess his fitness for office by his administration's achievements. Calls for Biden to step down remind me of a similar drum beat that pushed Al Franken out. Franken's departure was the Senate's loss. & more headlines: "Dems in Disarray"

It's easy for someone who has never read the bible to confuse the 10 Commandments with a to-do list, which appears to be Donald Trump's approach. "Thou shalt not have any other gods before me. This will be tough, since I don't believe in anything greater than myself, but I'll try."
