Ladies and gentlemen, it’s Saturday Night Live! From now until 4 1/2 hours from now on NBC
Just reading what he said
Reposted bySteve Cohen
As someone who had polio, I take personal offense at Donald Trump questioning Senator McConnell’s experience with polio.
Mitch McConnell HAD polio. Did anyone other than Trump‘s dad‘s doctor friend think he had bone spurs?
JD Vance lecturing Europe on free speech is not the power move he thinks it is. Europe lived through Nazism the Holocaust & communism—losing generations to tyranny. Now as they fight rising hate speech, he scolds them instead of standing with them. Bad first impression on the world diplomatic stage.
www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o... sad and cowardly capitulation of the Senate Republicans

RFK Jr. is now in charge of our nation’s health policy. A vaccine denier. A conspiracy peddler. A man who has spent years undermining public health and endangering lives.
It's an outright betrayal of science and common sense. The Senate put public health in jeopardy by confirming him. Shameful.

COURAGEOUS HEROISM! TRUMP AND BONDI DONT KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT JUSTICE. For Trump everything is transactional
What country are we living in where the Vice President says he only disagrees with “some” of a staffer’s racist posts? What part of them does he agree with?
JD Vance says it shouldn’t ruin a kid’s life, but these posts were made in 2024. He wasn’t a “kid” then, and he isn’t one now.
Prices are up, inflation is up. Trump’s attention should NOT be on taking over the Kenedy Center—he should be 100% focused on the economy. Stop going to the glitter and fulfill your promises to the financially stressed.
Do you think the election was rigged! Right out of the KGB election guide book
I missed your tweets and knew you moved to blue sky cause I love your commentary, but I’m concerned with your last tweet about your limitation on 60 seconds. Please don’t leave. It took me all day to remember how to find you.
A fan I’m OK
Trump and Elon Musk keep making things up.
🚫 $3B for a football stadium? False.
🚫 40% pay raise for Congress? False.
🚫$50M for Hamas condoms? False. Not even on the right continent.
This isn’t just ignorance—it’s reckless disinformation, and they're using it to justify tearing our government down.
Some say Elon Musk is a genius. He is using a sledgehammer to cut government programs. A genius would use a scalpel. A gorilla would use a sledgehammer.
Watch my remarks here ⬇️
Make room for Daddy…
Trump wasted water meant for farmers just to pull a PR stunt. It was reckless, absurd, and accomplished nothing.
Taking shortcuts to pretend you're solving a problem doesn’t just lead to failure—it can make things much worse. That’s the Trump admin in spades. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
