Thanks for the gift link. Will be interesting to see if the measure that passed in the Senate even gets a vote in the House. Because if there is no legislation preventing removal, Trump can just do it later.

Election denial activists previously pushed for a tool called EagleAI to purge voter rolls. It improperly removed eligible voters. Now, records we obtained show that EagleAI’s creators are promoting new software called ELLY and Psephos, for the same purpose. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

“The situation was very quickly approaching the point of no return & the US found it intolerable, in my opinion, based on what Steve and Jared and Pete & others were telling me,” Trump said, rattling off names while attempting to distance himself from a decision only a president can ultimately make.

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files. This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Did Trump make up the hospital boat story out of embarrassment after learning Denmark had to rescue *our* submariner and provide them urgent medical care in Greenland? All signs point to yes! apnews.com/article/gree...
I foolishly assumed that this Trump post tonight made no sense to me because there is some medical situation in Greenland of which I am uninformed. But so far all the news reports I’ve seen are saying that it is unclear what he is talking about.
