@PlantRobinson @GregoSilverest It wasn’t a cocopuffs dispenser??

This robot just offered me dope to send me to Kicksville.

A lot of people don't know this, but Donald Trump's DHS Sec nominee Markwayne Mullin's great-great-great-great grandfather Cletuswayne Mullin was on the Titanic.

The DOJ stepped on another rake in our FOIA case against DOGE as Judge Boasberg hands us another win. My latest: muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-we-…

@mattvanswol The craziest thing about this is your claim that you were smart enough to have been a nuclear scientist

I AM SO FUCKING PISSED that I work 10+ hour days just to have 30% of EVERY DIME I MAKE sent straight to fake Somali daycares, fake hospices, massive fraud and illegals… …only to pay MORE TAXES on cars, house, insurance for them, groceries Can’t yall SPEND LESS MONEY????!!!!

TRUMP IS LITERALLY BUYING DRONES FROM HIS SONS DUMB AND DUMBER 🤡 BUT PLEASE TELL ME MORE ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN 🙄

This is actually happening. Welcome to Trump’s America.

Daily Beast: The Cato Institute accused Trump, Marco Rubio & Kristi Noem of charging migrants $1.3 billion in fees for visa processing & other services they had zero intention of providing. Critics are calling it “the largest fraud in the history of the U.S. immigration system.”

Banning pain meds because they are abortion adjacent is authoritarian male brutality against all women seeking healthcare.

Happy 55 week anniversary to those who celebrate

The record on Tina Peters is documented. She was the elected Mesa County Clerk. She allowed an unauthorized person to copy sensitive voting system data and then obstructed investigators. A Colorado jury convicted her on seven counts. A judge sentenced her to nine years. The governor of Colorado does not control criminal sentencing. That is not how courts work anywhere in the United States. Trump’s post says she is imprisoned by “a Democrat Governor, Jared Polis, and a corrupt political machine, for exposing fraud by the Democrats during the 2020 Presidential Election.” No court ever validated her fraud claims. The conviction is for what she did to election equipment, not for what she claimed to have found. The sentence came through standard judicial procedure that has nothing to do with the governor’s office. The president is now calling for the release of a public official convicted by a jury of her peers for tampering with election security infrastructure. The same week he is demanding the SAVE America Act to protect election integrity. Those two things cannot both be true at once.

Pretty wild that Trump just appointed JD Vance as a Fraud Czar to go after scammers right after he pardoned his 35th different wealthy crony convicted of fraud so far during this term with many more to come.

When the Japanese live translation goes silent because the translators are too stunned to repeat your Pearl Harbor “joke” to the Japanese PM, you’ve officially reached a new level of diplomatic failure. Those seconds of silence were the most honest reaction of the day.

It’s so weird that bank after bank are settling with Jeffrey Epstein’s victims for something Donald Trump keeps saying is a hoax.

@covie_93 @MargaretSaxon3 To end the agencies regulating Musk industries To end actual DEI and wokeness to make room for Maga brand DEI and wokeness, which is just Nazi shit To steal our social security data To give unfettered back door access to all of our data across all agencies to Thiel/Palantir

What was the purpose of DOGE???

Breaking: The President's son is on a heater Donald Trump Jr's fund invested in one of the only U.S. rare earth magnet startups at a $200M valuation Three months later, the Pentagon awarded Vulcan a $620M loan and the Commerce Dept took a $50M equity stake In February, Trump announced a $12B rare earth strategic reserve Today, the company is now valued at $2 billion. That's a 10x for Trump Jr in under a year Vulcan is building the largest rare earth magnet factory outside of China. The U.S. says it needs to stop relying on China, which controls 90% of global rare earth processing The timing is either the greatest coincidence in investing history, or it isn't

Listen up

Idiocracy was a documentary.

When it is normal for a president who is an adjudicated rapist a proven insurrectionist and adulterer to sexually assault a secret service agent on camera America is broken.

80% support photo ID at the polls. Nobody's arguing that. The SAVE Act eliminates mail-in registration, online registration, and registration at the DMV. That's what the poll doesn't ask. Senator Banks knows the difference between the question his constituents answered and the bill he's pushing.

🚨🚨BOMBSHELL: "Jane Doe #4 alleged to the FBI that Epstein abused her when she was 14, and that trump abused her when she was 15. Kahn, Epstein's accountant, testified that the Epstein estate settled with Jane Doe #4 for BOTH Epstein and trump." HOLY SHIT.🤬
