He's just making good on his word. The nomination part happened now he's making sure he deserves it when the next part happens.

Republicans clapping at the SOTU.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Alex Pretti is a hero. An example of a good American human being.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Dear Trump, last night was an example of a landslide, just in case you didn't know!

At a time when our politics feels broken, we need leaders like @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for Governor. Mikie will work to create jobs, lower costs, and do what’s right for the people of New Jersey.

Trump last night at Yankee Stadium. Clearly devastated over Charlie Kirk’s death…

Specifically, Blackstone Private Equity CEO Steve Schwarzman gave 2 million to Pine Tree Results PAC, a Super PAC backing Collins; on June 28. After which, Collins cast a decisive vote allowing Trump’s bill to advance to the floor. Welcome to 2025, Susan. Always follow the money!

A fortuneteller tells Trump: “You will die on the biggest and most celebrated national holiday.” Trump replies: “How do you know?”
