Hint: #JoshHawley isn't a #conservative. There's a reason his efforts often align with #ElizabethWarren, and it isn't because she's become a conservative.

So glad to have a president who reflects on the dignity and sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom. Err, wait. #Cook2028 #TimCook #POTUS
So glad the war would never happen on Trump's watch... https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2060224/russia-ukraine-buffer-zone-trump-putin
I've considered it hyperbole to call #Trump the worst #American #president. We've had some stinkers, such as Jackson and Johnson. But I'm starting to think Trump should have been named Andrew.
@relistan I can't say I find his early remarks significantly more cogent... maybe a jot so. Whether he ever had the mental acuity to be president is an entirely different question. Clearly by the standards of the past, he does not. But, if anything, I think at present he's just doing more of what he previously said he would do but many (including myself at times) said, "Don't take him so literally." Clearly we should have.
@georgetakei The ever insightful centrist political commentator Chris Cillizza nailed the subject. Trump's behavior is abhorrent with stuff like that, but he's been doing that for decades. It doesn't appear to be a notable decline vs. Biden, where there was a clear progressive degeneration. Doesn't make the one "good," but the issue isnt' the same. https://chriscillizza.substack.com/p/why-arent-we-talking-about-donald
Please spare me how the #SCOTUS is bad this way or that. They are the only U.S. political body still concerned with the rule of law, making the so-called Left and Right mad as they concern themselves with the Constitution. #Maine https://mainemorningstar.com/2025/05/20/supreme-court-orders-maine-house-to-restore-voting-rights-to-legislator-censured-for-anti-trans-post/

Since Trump loves bringing media folks into his administration, he should hire #BenShapiro. He'd have a much better, smarter, "more winning" administration if he did. "Taking sacks of goodies from people who support Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Jazeera, that's not America first....If you want President Trump to succeed, this kind of skeezy stuff needs to stop."

@tg9541 I'm really not sure how anyone who genuinely holds conservative principles can support him at this point. His actions are antithetical to such ideals and certainly to common sense and morality.
I've always had my doubts about #DonaldTrump, but do we need more examples to show that he is a profoundly foolish man?
"If any other president posted something so hateful and sacrilegious, #Christian #Republicans would be outraged for weeks. But it’s #Trump, so I guess it’s just fine! He’s Jehu/Cyrus/David/or whatever." -- @davidfrenchjag https://x.com/DavidAFrench/status/1914073812569870367
Reposting this @ofb piece from @trbutler last week seems apropos after #POTUS's abominable misuse of an Easter greeting to attack his political enemies yesterday. https://ofb.biz/sa1308
I wasn't on Mastodon yesterday, so... He is Risen! (It's still true!) Hope everyone had a joyful #Easter!

Why does the President’s powerful #Easter message still leave @trbutler conflicted? Tim explores the tension between public testimonies of faith and Christ-like humility in his latest column. https://ofb.biz/sa1308
