It’s Wednesday…
President Shitshow’s public schedule for…
I’m once again gonna link to his schedule for Wednesday, 05/14/2025. They decided to list everything and make it a massive schedule.
Since President Shitshow is traveling in the Middle East, a lot of people are focused on the gifted plane. MAGA and others are trying to compare the $400 million jet to the US receiving the Statue of Liberty.

“Not my lane”…
Narrator: It is in fact his lane…
Fun fact MAGA and other people, Congress approved the gift of the Statue of Liberty. Let me say that again for the folks with their fingers in their ears. Our Congress directed the President to accept, on our behalf, the gift of the French lady…
The plane isn’t the same thing. The plane was approved by AG barbie and will be or was gonna be transferred to President “I accept Bribes” Shitshow’s Presidential Library.
Speaking of Congress…
I’m sorry, I’ve been largely ignoring them; it’s all performative jackassery, and they will pass awful shit that we suffer for, while they pat themselves on back for a job well done.
Anyway, apparently, today DHS Cosplay is testifying before a House Committee.
She’s asked about the President and his insistence that a doctored photo wasn’t doctored. She spends three full minutes not answering the question.
This is absolutely incredible — Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face.

Also happening is MAHA leader and fucking weirdo RFK testified that nobody should take medical advice from him…

He also said that some gold star rehabs only charge $20,000 to $40,000 a month for treatment to get clean and sober. That was a fraction of the price his own rehab cost…

The big beautiful bill that will cause regular people to suffer while raising the debt ceiling more trillions of dollars, still doesn’t publicly have the votes to pass.
Speaker Johnson said it may take the weekend to hash out a deal with the SALT crew 🧂

Greg Sargent has a new article diving through the big beautiful bill.
Trump recently got a lot of media attention for supposedly wanting to end the carried interest loophole. Not only does the House GOP bill *not* do this, it actually creates a new tax break for the same private equity industry, experts tell me:https://t.co/wjM4JTUfG6 pic.twitter.com/FpSqRR3kXt

We keep hearing that the GOP is going through an "identity crisis" over whether it will be a Trumpist/working class party or whether it will continue serving its "corporatist" and "C-suite" wing.
— Greg Sargent (@GregTSargent) May 14, 2025
Funny how the C-suite wing keeps winning this argument!https://t.co/wjM4JTUfG6 pic.twitter.com/rgdJD88ljb
The article is not paywalled but you do have to give up your email address to read it.
I’m still not 100 percent, so we are gonna stop there…
