Trump freestyling percentages: “I’m reducing drug costs by 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500%.” Seth Meyers: “You can’t reduce the price of something by more than 100%. If you reduce the price by more than 100% that means it’s free.”

🚨With a “WOW!,” deranged imbecile Dementia J. Trump posts that DOGE & “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a SATIRICAL website. The site warns viewers: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.” !

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor, the sick, the tired. It's not an option, it's central to advancing God's will."

Breaking News: The Trump administration told states to undo any steps to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, threatening financial penalties if the states do not comply. It was unclear how that would affect the program. nyti.ms/4oGcSKP

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein “were not just best friends, they were the kind of friends that bonded with each other over everything,” including business according to journalist @ZevShalev who has been investigating Epstein’s financial ties.

Trump: "I would love to see Canada be the 51st state. The Canadians citizens, if that happened ... they'd have much better health coverage." @atrupar (March 2025) Fact-check: Canadians have longer life expectancy than Americans.

VERY conservatively, Moreno is worth $10M+. VERY conservatively. Schumer is worth less than $2M.
Bernie Moreno said something very strange on the Senate floor today. He said that financial disclosures show that Chuck Schumer has a higher net worth than he does. That is not true. Schumer's net worth is shy of $2M. Moreno is worth many, many millions.

Wild how Dr. Oz being Muslim was fine, but Zohran Mamdani being Muslim suddenly breaks MAGA. I guess being Muslim’s okay as long as you’re wearing a red hat

Hey Pam Bondi: Given that in Raygoza, DOJ is now charging people who show up before Law Enforcement Officers' homes and broadcast, will you be arresting @EagleEdMartin for stalking @TishJames? Or should we expect you to dismiss the case against Raygoza et al to avoid having to charge your resident troll?

How many videos of ICE violently attacking people are we going to see? This must be the 1,000th one I’ve seen.

“President Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior, cognitive decline and clear physical deterioration are posing a great risk to the safety of our country and represents an imminent threat if not addressed in the near term. I have observed him both in person and from afar since the late 1990s and can promise you - the man is not just losing a step, he’s falling down the stairs. Trump was in poor condition fifteen years ago on the set of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ -since then his ill health and addictions have only gotten worse, in my opinion. I’m not merely speaking of his authoritarian designs or inherent venality and profligate grifting when addressing the threat he poses in this moment. If you understand the nature of both addiction and depravity, you know that left untreated it always gets much worse. Trump is, in essence, who he is because he has gotten away with it for so long; including the predation. It should be obvious to all that the man is deeply unwell.” open.substack.com/pub/noelca…

As a Dane 🇩🇰, it’s hard to hear an ignorant man threaten one of US's and NATO’s most loyal allies. We stood with the US in Afghanistan - losing as many soldiers (per capita) as they did - in a war they asked us to join. That kind of loyalty deserves gratitude, not threats. Dear US friends 🇺🇸 - this is not who you want to be. Vance - History is not going to be kind to you!
JD Vance: “Denmark not doing its job, not being a good ally…if that means we need to take more territorial interest in greenland that is what president trump is going to do.”

The reason why Trump continues to fall for QAnon and satire posts and puts them out as fact is because he has dementia and has no idea what his own Admin is doing from day-to-day. That, and he’s a habitual liar. meidasnews.com/news/wow-trum…

So here's where we are, Sunday morning: Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases. So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care. Dystopian.

Building this many data centers while doing almost nothing to increase electricity generation is suicidal
My team and I spent hundreds of hours identifying 1,000+ data centers in the US. My biggest takeaway: Many of these projects are really big, and they are being built really fast. 🧵

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.
