PSA: This is circulating as a comment on the Epstein files vote, but it isn't* (this has been a long-running feud...)

The angry Trump impression, followed by "...and then I tried to talk to him about the Constitution" is hilarious though πŸ˜…

That’s…a straight line.

(Or as Tim just said on this @thebulwark.com livestream: β€œI’ve never seen a chart like it. It’s like a full [explicit reference]” 🀣🀣🀣)

Can’t wait to see how MAGA is going to spin this, after years and years of them yelling about gas prices.

🀣🀣🀣 I changed mine yesterday, for the first time in about a year.

I can’t possibly answer this question without dying of embarrassment lol. Threads must have surfaced this post in an effort at a collective shaming ritual πŸ˜†

Where did all the competent people go?! That’s…a pretty wild mistake. Or a panicked reversal.

Yeah I was starting to think they were just going to get away with it. The revelations about what went on with that grand jury were genuinely jaw dropping.

Utterly insane. Which is why I have to say, I feel a lot of respect for the three who tried to reassert Congress’s war powers this week 🫑

Mitt Romney said that loads of his colleagues told him they wanted to vote to convict, but were terrified of their families receiving threats. Or losing a primary FFS πŸ™„

So 2026 happened and now I’m sitting here as a β€œradical left lunatic” who is *deathly afraid* that he’ll lose his primary because of that guy in the Oval Office. This is a legit source of anxiety for me now. Thank you world, what a time to be alive πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

So I was wondering why reading Massie’s second paragraph reminded me of that hideous β€œit’s Supreme Court opinions day and now the world is all wrong” feeling.

Long story short, I learned a new term:

CONSTITUTIONAL GRIEF.

Holy shit.
