This is fucking insane. It reads like a bad spy novel. The corruption is almost cartoonish at this point. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Disgusting, vile, hateful behavior from the president and his boy choir. There they are, lined up in their Trump approved suits, ties and shoes, mute except for making occasional sounds indicating approval and loyalty to dear leader. This is exactly the type of obedience seen in 1930’s Germany.

Some have spent tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket. These families should NEVER be abandoned. How the hell are our service members supposed to focus on defending this country when they’re worried about whether their own families are being taken care of? #SupportTheTroops

Of course.
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton partied in Dubai on New Year’s Eve with two men facing federal charges of stealing more than $15 million from a Chicago hospital. One donated $190,000 to Paxton’s campaigns, including $25,000 days after his indictment.

Between Natalie Harp and now Zacharia, Trump is surrounding himself with women who believe some very strange things. If a friend told you Democrats are a bunch of “sick pedo cannibals,” you’ve back away slowly and seek professional help for her
1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

“our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians.” If the U.S. military forces suffered those kind of damages under a Democratic admin, Congress would impeach the Defense Secretary and lot more.
Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

So after the White House spokespersons tried to justify his inexplicable remarks, saying that he wasn't calling for Iran to nuke Los Angeles and San Diego, Trump *doubles down* Literally daring them to bomb the California cities
Trump: "Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles on the way. You want to see a horror show? Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles. You want to see some bad things happen?"

FBI 302: The woman said Epstein introduced her to Trump when she was 13–15: “It was Donald Trump.” She said Trump told her “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be,” then raped her. She said she fought back, Trump “pulled her hair and punched her on the side of her head.” #OpDeathEaters
Three FBI interviews with a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting / raping her when she was 13–15, after Jeffrey Epstein introduced them, were missing from the DOJ’s initial Epstein files release. #OpDeathEaters

Yes, Israel committed genocide, US enabled it.
Israel has left Gaza devastated: 134K+ buildings destroyed, 74,000+ Palestinians killed and mass displacement. In the West Bank, Israeli settlement expansion and settler attacks are accelerating as Palestinians are expelled from their homes and land. It is genocide. Survivors ask: "Where do we go?"

who knows if jackson can win this thing but i am glad that he is making clear that susan collins's whole scam is to do everything she can to make life worse for mainers and then take credit for mitigating it in the slightest way possible
Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

Trump last week touted "one of the Biggest and Most Beautiful Events to take place in many years, the arrival at the White House of the Highly Respected President of China, Xi Jinping, and his beautiful wife, Madam Peng." The U.S. switched sides.
