Fetterman is an Israel lackey. Why would he care about a children's hospital if he can't bomb it?
Fetterman text to aide: “Why do I have to keep having to meet with [Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia]?”
Aide: “Because they are worried about vaccines and Medicaid cuts.”
Fetterman: “Well I’m not.”

The VP wants nothing more than a promotion in 2028. Thursday showed again why he doesn’t deserve it.
Upon arriving at the briefing room, it took him only 40 minutes to contradict his boss, insult the American military, and ask the country to feel grateful about gas prices going up.

I noticed JD Vance’s official portrait was removed in a federal building I was in today. A huge portrait of Trump replaced both of their 11 by 14 inch portraits. It makes me wonder what’s happening? It would be interesting if this replacement is occurring at all Fed buildings. @altnps.bsky.social

Cost is no object for Trump's vanity projects using your tax dollars, but it certainly is for most Americans at the grocery store and the gas station.
Imagine if he cared half as much about lowering your costs as he does about his gold-plated makeovers.

Every day in ICE offices across the country there are relatives seeking information about their detained relatives whereabouts. The information isn’t added to the system until their relative is already several hundred miles away and is at or en route to a detention center.

When Graham did his 180 on Trump in 2017, people kept asking me if he was blackmailed. The Lindsey Graham Lesson:
1) Politicians can be evil on their own.
2) Politicians can be blackmailed.
3) Evil politicians are easier to blackmail because they've done acts of evil they want to cover up.

Welker: "You launched a fresh round of strikes overnight. Iran said overnight the Strait of Hormuz is closed. CENTCOM came out this morning and said the Strait of Hormuz is open. Which is it?"

Did Lindsey Graham suddenly become no longer useful to Netanyahu or Putin? His behavior was always odd. His extreme about-faces seemed oddly contradictory, such that his patriotism was diminished years ago.

Dear Democratic politicians,
Lindsey Graham deliberately chose to spend his last years making the lives of people in the US and abroad as miserable as possible.
The fact that he also had that certain brand of charming southern geniality for his colleagues makes it worse, actually.
