Also the *specific* thing the mother claims Acton lied about was that the family lived in a tent during part of her childhood. The court records show that the stepfather was arrested... in the tent where they were living.

It’s genuinely sad to watch. The President is so weak and incapable of negotiating a real deal that he just posts fake ones on social media and hopes people believe him, until every party involved puts out a statement calling him a liar. We’ve never seen weakness like this in the Oval Office.

The sitting president of the United States just stood before a “crowd” of his supporters & suggested Iran “take out” two American cities, adding that it would be a “small price to pay”, and somehow that’s not the lead story on every newscast this morning. Not even in the top 5.

Bad Bunny made the message clear. The rest of the world made their message clear: We can move on without Donald Trump. We can move on without MAGA. MAGA is not America. MAGA and America are not the world. Let their ideas rot in the last millennium. #MAGA #ICEOUT #BadBunny #Trump

The Robber Baron era has nothing on our current Cyber Baron era. Elon Musk is the world’s richest man, a white nationalist, bought the 2024 election, destroyed much of the gov’t while further enriching himself with gov’t contracts, ended aid to the needy, turned Twitter into a cesspool and now:

Susan Collins was at the center of a major bribery probe for steering millions in contracts to a company whose CEO illegally funneled thousands to her campaign. Then Trump took office and gutted the FBI and DOJ units investigating her. Is this what "being moderate" looks like?

Trump's ICE thugs are shooting people in the street! He's selling pardons. He's destroying our economy & prices are skyrocketing. He doesn't want to answer questions about that, so he banned critical media outlets from the White House. #No1stAmendmentBan New🎤song 🔉🔊🔉

Russian terrorists attacked Lithuania with a drone, fired a flare gun at a Danish helicopter and sabotaged railway tracks in the Netherlands. European governments must stop calling these attacks “hybrid” and recognize the state of war they’re in with the russian terrorist state.

Everyone knew Trump's Iran war would disrupt the Strait of Hormuz and skyrocket costs. So why did Trump Energy Secretary Wright do NOTHING to protect us? Americans are OWED answers about what the Trump Admin knew and why they failed to shield us from these predictable consequences.

A win! Another federal judge has blocked the U.S. Postal Service from enforcing new mail-ballot restrictions tied to Trump’s executive order. This is now the second federal court to halt the USPS rules, which would impose new requirements on states sending ballots by mail.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Across the countless legal filings in the many lawsuits challenging Trump’s order and USPS’s subsequent rules, the DOJ has repeatedly failed to provide evidence backing the central claim behind them: that noncitizen voting and mail ballot fraud are real. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Arch twice the size of the Arc de Triomphe, going up near Arlington National Cemetery. It will be torn down when he's gone. I think people would pay good money to take a couple of whacks at it. Start the demolition that way & make a fortune. #CorruptTrumpRegime #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
