This is crazy. Trumps 1st endorser Jeff Sessions appointed Mueller!! He indicted 25 Russians. The report was so straightforward the GOP senate report echoed it. Then he retired and went back to private life. For this he deserves the president grave dancing on him? Trash.

Quote: "Mueller’s family didn’t deserve the president’s grave dancing. None of Trump’s many enemies do. But Trump also didn’t deserve Russiagate. Nearly a decade after that phony scandal, our republic is still trying to recover." thefp.com/p/robert-muell…

BANNON (Epstein’s PR Guy): “We can use ICE helping out at airports as a test run to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms.” P.S. — Non-citizens don’t vote and they know it

🔥🔥🔥I’m at JFK and I was on the train leaving a whole bunch of TSA officers and they were bitching about having these ICE guys standing around doing nothing while they’re working their asses off and not getting paid! They are really really really mad and they’re not blaming the Democrats

Last May, Trump released executive orders demanding a re-write of nuclear safety rules & a massive buildout of nuclear power. The admin let Silicon Valley-backed nuclear energy firms offer redline edits. When Trump signed them in the oval office, he was flanked by nuclear CEOs

Trump turns to Patel after Stephen Miller praises him for five minutes and says, "So Kash, see if you can top that. That's a tough one, Kash." "That is tough," Patel replies, and then he starts praising him too

To be clear, ICE agents are still being paid. TSA agents are not. A gut punch for these folks who have to work under this reality. 📌 Senate Democrats tried 7 times to pass standalone funding bills specifically for TSA pay and operations during the partial DHS shutdown. Republicans blocked each attempt.

Just because the President deploys ICE agents to airports, doesn’t change the fact that: 1. He’s in the Epstein Files. 2. He’s started an unauthorized war that he can’t find his way out of. 3. Americans are struggling to survive, and he’s failed to pass legislation to make it better, even though his party controls the House, the Senate, and the White House. It’s time for accountability.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are at airports stationed INSIDE terminals, while wearing masks. Journalist Nick Valencia filmed his own experience traveling through Atlanta this morning… spending nearly an hour getting through TSA… Only to walk into the terminal and see ICE agents already inside. Not screening passengers, or reducing wait times… Just standing there. Masked. This isn’t about fixing delays. It’s about putting Trump’s secret police inside everyday civilian spaces.

If you're stuck at the airport, just know that there was a deal to cut your line at TSA. Trump said no.

Videos of massive airport lines are going viral across the U.S. Here’s why: TSA agents aren’t being paid. Hundreds have quit. Lines are now hours long. Democrats tried to pass bills to fund TSA during the standoff. Republicans blocked them — tying funding to ICE policy demands. This is what political leverage looks like in real life.

Senator Patty Murray@PattyMurray·
The only reason TSA agents are going without pay right now is because Republicans are holding their paychecks hostage so they can shovel more money at ICE and CBP. That's absurd. Republicans need to stop blocking our bill to pay TSA & start getting serious about basic ICE reforms.

🚨 BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel fired multiple counterintelligence agents — including experts on Iran — just days before U.S. strikes. Many of them had also worked on Trump-related investigations. Now lawmakers are asking: Why gut your own intelligence bench right before escalation?

Gandalv@Microinteracti1·
A former NATO commander just said the quiet part out loud. Trump is trapped. The military logic of this war has collapsed into a binary no one in Washington wants to say clearly: either launch a ground invasion of Iran – a country of 90 million people, mountainous terrain, and three decades of asymmetric warfare doctrine – or declare victory over rubble and go home. Neither is winning. One is catastrophe. The other is theatre. The Strait of Hormuz is still contested. Iranian proxies are still operational. The nuclear program is dispersed, hardened, and possibly accelerated. Air strikes didn’t end the threat. Every day this drags on, the gap between what was promised and what is achievable gets wider.

Remember U S A Nuclear Weapon Protocol, U S reserve the right to first strike if faced imminent threat without congress authorization. The Consequences of U S or Israel could shoot tactical nuclear weapon into Iran a country of 92 million people to get Iran to capitulate and open the Strait of Hormuz . Should Congress take back power of @POTUS for first strike in this Iran War ? “ Silence Means Consent “ The consequences of Nuclear attack are as follows: The use of nuclear weapons in a conflict could have profound and devastating impacts on global economic stability and recovery efforts. Some of the key ways in which this could occur include: 1. Disruption of trade and supply chains: The immediate aftermath of a nuclear attack would likely lead to the disruption of trade and supply chains, as key infrastructure, ports, and transportation networks could be destroyed or rendered inoperable. This would severely impact global trade and economic activity, leading to shortages of essential goods and services. 2. Loss of confidence and investment: The use of nuclear weapons would create a climate of fear and uncertainty, leading to a loss of confidence among investors and businesses. This could result in a sharp decline in investment, leading to economic recession and stagnation. 3. Destruction of infrastructure: The widespread destruction caused by a nuclear attack would result in the loss of critical infrastructure, such as power plants, communication networks, and transportation systems. The cost of rebuilding and repairing this infrastructure would be enormous and could strain government budgets and resources, diverting funding from other essential services. 4. Humanitarian crisis: The humanitarian crisis caused by a nuclear attack would require significant resources and assistance to address the immediate needs of affected populations. This could divert resources away from economic recovery efforts and hinder the ability of countries to rebuild and recover from the devastation. 5. Global market collapse: The use of nuclear weapons would likely lead to panic in global financial markets, causing stock prices to plummet, currencies to fluctuate wildly, and interest rates to rise. This instability could lead to a global market collapse, with far-reaching consequences for the world economy. Overall, the use of nuclear weapons in a conflict would have profound and far-reaching impacts on global economic stability and recovery efforts. It is essential to prevent the use of nuclear weapons through diplomatic means and to work towards disarmament and conflict resolution to avoid such a catastrophic scenario. @WSJ @nytimes @washingtonpost @CNN @bbcworldservice @MSNOWNews @NewsNation @FoxNews @UrbanViewRadio @joerogan

This was totally predictable, but Trump has lost control of this war. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, oil prices are skyrocketing, war has broken out between Israel and Lebanon, and Iran continues to bomb our allies. He has created a historic mess that is hurting Americans.
