Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is just like everyone else, wondering what in the world is up with Donald Trump’s mental state.
AOC blasted the current occupant in the White House after he continually lied and called for six Democrats, Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan, New Hampshire Rep. Maggie Goodlander, and Colorado Rep. Jason Crow are facing the death penalty and are being accused of being traitors on Truth Social after they dropped a video reminding them not to follow illegal or unconstitutional orders.
“To be honest, the president’s remarks are, I think, indicate a level of instability, ” AOC said while speaking with reporters.

She continued, “It’s not just shocking, it’s not just offensive, it’s bizarre, it is erratic, it’s volatile. And I think it indicates a mental state that we should all be questioning right now, whether that’s emotional, mental, what have you.”
“It is not normal to make these accusations, it is not normal to invoke these kinds of threats of violence. And it’s also not normal to also dramatically misquote, as Karoline Leavitt was doing, what these members of Congress said.”
“They made a very clear message to U.S. service members, which is that you do not have to obey an illegal order.”
“And I think that’s an important message to reiterate, because this administration seems to be increasingly trying to go down that path.”
Where is the lie?
Donald Trump Is Surrounded By Loyalists Who Don’t Question Him
Unlike his first term, when there were people bold enough to tell Trump no, this time around, he’s surrounded by loyal sycophants willing to do his bidding and enact ridiculous things that come to mind.
For example, to prove his undying loyalty, our current DEI hire of a Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, is hinting at looking into investigating those who participated in the video.
Hegseth is currently focusing on Mark Kelly, after the highly decorated veteran shared a photo of medals, accusing Kelly of showing his medals out of order, and that he will get an “uniform inspection” when he’s recalled to active duty.
Apparently, Hegseth doesn’t understand how cameras work.
We can’t wait to see this latest nonsense from Trump and his administration epically backfire.

Pool / Erika Kirk / JD Vance
Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA are all in on a JD Vance presidency.
Speaking with Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk’s widow was asked by the conservative podcaster about backing a JD Vance presidential ticket, and her answer shouldn’t really come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention.
Kirk told Kelly, “It’s in the works. This was a thing my husband was very direct about. One of the last few conversations we had was how intentional he was for supporting JD in 2028.”
Turning Point USA is a conservative student advocacy group that was instrumental in helping Trump win the 2024 election by bolstering the youth turnout. The organization’s founder was assassinated while at a “Prove Me Wrong” campus event in Utah in September.

During the interview, at Kelly’s Glendale, Arizona, tour stop, the current CEO of Turning Point USA confirmed her unwavering support for the Vances. Both the Vice President and his wife accompanied the body of Charlie Kirk aboard Air Force II, with Vance even helping with carrying the casket across the tarmac in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Is There Something Weird Going On Between Erika Kirk & JD Vance?
Speaking on the support she has received from Vance since her husband’s death, Kirk said it “has been a blessing” and that the VP and his wife, Usha, have shown her “genuine love.”
All of this is interesting because Kirk and Vance’s relationship has been put under a microscope following what social media deemed as a very awkward embrace between the “two friends” with Kirk touching the back of the married VP’s head while at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi honoring Charlie Kirk back in October.
When introducing Vance to the crowd, Kirk said, “No one will ever replace my husband, no, but I do see some similarities between my husband and JD,” which had folks on social media saying, “What?”
Kelly asked Kirk about that exact moment, and she downplayed it as an embrace between them out of mutual respect while explaining the head touching.
“They just played the emotional video. I’m walking over, he’s walking over. I’m starting to cry,” Kirk told Kelly.
“And I say, ‘God bless you,’ and I touch the back of his head. Anyone who I have hugged, that I have touched the back of your head when I hug you, I always say, ‘God bless you.’”
“That’s just me,” Kirk continued.
“If you want to take that out of context, go right ahead. Again, that to me shows that you need a hug.”
Interesting.
Does Donald Trump Approve of Erika Kirk Supporting JD Vance for President?
Then there’s also the small matter of the talk of Trump running for a third term, which is unconstitutional, but according to Steve Bannon, it’s something he and his team are actively working on, and Trump has been teasing that he will run again with the release of “Trump 2028.
Despite being a loyal lapdog, Trump hasn’t even thought about giving Vance his blessing to replace and keep the MAGA movement going.
Welp.
Then, some have noticed that Vance’s wife, Usha, whom he wished was Christian, was spotted no longer wearing her wedding ring, only adding more fuel to Vance/Kirk rumors.
We are very intrigued to see how this entire situation plays out.

Peter Dazeley / Tylenol
RFK Jr. and Donald Trump’s headassery claiming Tylenol can be linked to autism in children is beginning to bear dumb fruit in the form of a lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Philanderer Ken Paxton is doing whatever he can to keep the focus off his problems, and is now suing the makers of Tylenol on Tuesday, alleging the companies hid the risks of the commonly used drug to the brains of children.
The lawsuit is a direct result of Donald Trump’s baseless claims last month that Tylenol usage during pregnancy can lead to autism.
Per The New York Times:
Mr. Paxton filed the suit against Johnson & Johnson, which sold Tylenol for decades, and Kenvue, a spinoff company that has sold the drug since 2023.
The Texas lawsuit claims that the companies knowingly withheld evidence from consumers about Tylenol’s links to autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The suit also claims that Kenvue was created to shield Johnson & Johnson from liability over Tylenol.
The Texas lawsuit marks the first time a state has taken legal action based on Trump’s claims that acetomenaphin, a word he can’t even pronounce, is the cause of neurodevelopmental disorders in children.
Kenvue has defended the safety of Tylenol and has rebuked Trump’s claims that using it during pregnancy leads to autism in children.
“We will defend ourselves against these baseless claims and will respond per the legal process,” Melissa Witt, a spokeswoman for Kenvue, said on Tuesday. “We stand firmly with the global medical community that acknowledges the safety of acetaminophen and believe we will continue to be successful in litigation as these claims lack legal merit and scientific support.”
This Lawsuit Has Only One Goal: Curry Favor With Donald Trump & His Base
The unproven claim has been a longstanding concern among followers of our current head of HHS, and there have been many lawsuits brought by families in state and federal courts claiming the drug has led to their children being diagnosed with autism or ADHD after using the drug.
A U.S. judge in New York dismissed lawsuits making claims about Tylenol, citing the lack of evidence proving the drug’s direct link to autism. The plaintiffs appealed the decision and will participate in a hearing before an appellate panel scheduled for Nov. 17.
As for Paxton, his move can easily be chalked up to a decision to please his orange lord and savior, Donald Trump, and comes as he seeks to unseat the incumbent, Senator John Cornyn.
Paxton has been very pro-Trump, doing ridiculous things like challenging the results of the 2020 election, suing nonprofits that protect immigrants’ rights, and trying to remove Democrats who dared fight for Black and Brown people during partisan redistricting efforts to ensure Republicans stay in control during Trump’s term.
Social media has thoughts on Paxton’s lawsuit; you can see them below.
