BANNON: “Trump will be president in 2028 and get a third term. People oughta get accommodated with that.” “What about the constitution?” BANNON: “He’s a vehicle of divine providence.” (PSA: Believe them. He is not joking.)

Does he really believe this? Either total idiot or total liar …. or both.
Johnson on healthcare: "I want to tell you right now, there's only one party that has any real ideas or care or concern-- and it's the Republican Party. In 2019, we published a menu of options to fix healthcare. We have many of those ideas now... Republicans are not just talking

Have you ever seen a child die from pneumococcal disease? I have. I was a resident. It was horrifying. We stood in the PICU and cried because we couldn't save him. And now we are inviting invasive pneumococcus into our schools. I will never understand this.
In a groundbreaking move, Florida announces plans to become the first state to eliminate all vaccine mandates, including those required for school entry. Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo’s push to repeal mandates for vaccines like hepatitis B, chickenpox, and pneumococcal diseases

Oops. “A master plan Jared’s been working on for 2 years” Watch Jared Kushner’s face when this goofball blurts out the fact they were planning on rebuilding Gaza into prime beachfront property BEFORE the October 7th attacks. Secrets out.🤐

COLLINS: If you have a healthcare plan, why not have that out there to talk about in the public so people can hear it? MIKE JOHNSON: We need to get back to regular session so we can. We will not negotiate with legislative terrorists

“There are currently no approved plans to rebuild, no permits, no signs of weatherproofing for a project begun just before winter, no indication that the history or the paintings or the artifacts in the East Wing were preserved. There is only destruction.” @heathercoxricha
This image of the East Wing of the White House is a metaphor for broader, reckless destruction. The ballroom that will go up there will be a gaudy monument to vanity, corruption and excess. For anyone who has worked at the WH, or cares about its rich history, it's a gut punch.

Only Murdoch media would take a report from the Trump Administration as grounds for claiming the Albanese Govt is ‘alarmist’ over climate change (arguably not alarmist enough!) US report dismantles PM’s climate alarmism – and the ‘consensus’ behind it https://t.co/ZbN08A37W1

Just one question: where does Trump encounter people who walk to work?
Trump says people are coming up to him and saying “thank you sir” for being able to walk to work

It is 1,814 days since the 2020 presidential election. Trump is still not over losing. And he never will be.
i will never understand how 77 million Americans thought empowering this was a good idea. our country was so lucky to survive his first term and he's much worse now.

Does lying about demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House with zero consultation with Congress, the National Park Service or anyone else something that will reach the low info voter who doesn’t watch the news? Will anything reach them?
Reporter: Many people were surprised the entire east wing is being demolished, because you had said initially that the ballroom would just touch… Trump: It was a very small building, and rather than allowing that to hurt a very expensive, beautiful building that frankly they've

Trump slashed USAID so that children die for want of $2 mosquito nets or 12-cent-a-day medicines--but he now is backing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina that will pour money into the pockets of billionaire hedge fund investors. My take:
nytimes.com
As children die for want of cheap medicines, the U.S. spends billions on Argentina — thus rescuing rich investors who made bad bets.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump just casually admitted the ballroom will now cost $300 million – that’s $50 million morethan he claimed before. He said it like it was nothing. Meanwhile, they “can’t afford” to save health care? Republicans have ZERO shame.

But you need an AK-74 to go hunting?
Trump: You know, it's pretty unusual when you see somebody with a fishing rod and five engines on the back of the boat. You know, you don't need that to go fishing.

Q: What is your response to people who say you haven't been transparent enough about demolishing the East Wing? Trump: I showed this to everybody. Third rate reporters didn't see it because they didn't look. You're a third rate reporter. Always have been
