Sen. John Cornyn flips on the filibuster to pass SAVE America Act as Trump weighs endorsement Cornyn, who spent years defending the filibuster, is locked in a competitive GOP runoff in Texas against Ken Paxton, who has aligned with Trump on the issue.

Not surprised by this at all as these feckless fucks hope never to lose power again. Let's hope the courts hold up because elections are still the purview of the states ... and if The SAVE (America) Act passes it will be challenge. #Resist

He must be talking about the shit in his Depends. Bigly.

Thankfully, no other president ever needed to.

The SAVE (America) Act must fail. If not, Congress has abandoned us and our liberal democracy is operating on fumes.

To think MAGA was out here clutching pearls over whether someone might buy candy, cookies, or soda with food assistance, while so many bigger issues go untouched.

Good morning, all. Make it a great day.

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

"(Trump's) delusions of grandeur and compulsion to dominate others inevitably overwhelm the Constitution, decency, political good sense, and Americans’ distress. His utter incoherence at a press conference on Monday suggests he is decomposing before our eyes."

Because America has always had a mission.

One we're dangerously close to forgetting.

Told y’all Elon’s DOGE team weren’t data analysts.

They were hackers!

A whistleblower says a DOGE engineer stole Social Security data and put it on a thumb drive, including personal information on hundreds of millions of Americans.

People need to go to prison for this shit.

Evangelicals love Donald Trump for many reasons, but one of them is especially terrifying End Times.

If you want to understand how Trump's self-created crisis in Iran fits into his foreign policy, revisit our deep-dive into our End Times president.

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden.
