Cosmetic Collins: She’s plenty “concerned” and even votes against Trump sometimes—but analysis below proves her votes and actions rarely make a difference.
It’s all for show, cosmetic rather than substantial resistance.

I bet they’re worried what family secrets she might spill. She’s not just any ambassador: she’s junior’s ex.
I like Talarico’s response but love if he said: “Was busy taking $2.2B from the Saudis—wait, that was Trump’s son in law. Actually I was busy negotiating defense contracts to enrich myself. Oh, wait, that was Trump’s sons. No, now I remember: I started a crypto coin to scam my followers. Oh, wait…”
1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.
That’s right! Sorry
Newsom: *sucked up to stupid conservo-pod bros after 2024 election *opposed wealth taxes on billionaires *supported largest media merger ever *dated Gilfoyle In short, he’s corrupt and shows terrible judgment; watch him flip parties at some point. Not. To. Be. Trusted.
It’s important to pretend these threats are coming equally from “both sides” but ample evidence otherwise: GOPers on Jan6 stated they were scared of threats (“hang Mike Pence!) from THEIR OWN supporters. If rapey, violent right wingers will threaten GOPers surely they threaten libs & Dems.

By request - A Trump quote without his voice or face. Trump without Trump. This quote is unedited and 100% accurate. It is from a Trump rally in Syracuse, NY from October 9, 2026. They Go Down!
Quick story. My op-ed on how corporations that kept their DEI programs performed just as well financially was accepted & factchecked at TIME Magazine. Just needed "pro forma review by the legal department." Suddenly the piece is spiked Why? Benioff owns TIME and wants to ingratiate himself to Trump
TRUMPENSTEIN: *Two hours daily on hair and makeup *Some sort of back/hip/right leg brace (below) *Cover-up on right hand *Lifts in shoes
This is 💯 pct correct:
Donald Trump, the first president to wear a bustle.
👀
Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA): "At this point in time in 2022, a little over 200,000 Virginians had voted. At this point in time in 2026, approximately 450,000 Virginians have voted early."
Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil. This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas. Are we going to tariff ourselves now?
It was inevitable that Trump would betray Ukraine-and the US-while funding Putin’s war by purchasing red-dye diesel fuel We knew it when Marco Rubio’s Senate Committee showed innumerable ties between his campaign and Russia The dumbest part-this “big deal” will only cover about 3 days of fuel
We went from sanctioning Russian oil to buying it in three weeks. Instead of ending his disastrous war in Iran, Trump is now funding Russia's war in Ukraine. We used to hold dictators and autocrats accountable. Now our president negotiated a deal to fund Putin's unjust war.
He quite literally has no idea what health insurance is. Truly none.
Golden age?
