BREAKING: LOL! MAGA Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders throws a massive hissy fit after getting kicked out of a Little Rock restaurant by the employees. Best of all? The restaurant isn’t backing down… “Last week I was having lunch with two other moms at a restaurant when the owner approached a member of the State Police Executive Protection Detail and said my presence made their employees feel threatened and told us to leave,” Trump’s former Press Secretary whined on X.  “Arkansans are known for their warm hospitality, and while that restaurant didn’t meet that standard, my administration will continue to focus on lifting Arkansans up, not tearing others down,” she added. The irony here is that she owes her career to her time in Trump’s first administration, a man whose entire political movement is built around tearing down, demonizing, and otherizing innocent people. The Croissanterie, the establishment in question, gave local outlet THV11 the inside scoop, stating that not only the employees but also diners “raised questions” about Huckabee Sanders. Presumably they were bothered by her obtrusive staff clogging up the space and struggling with their appetites in the presence of such a profoundly evil woman. “As business owners and members of this community, we recognized that any course of action carried consequences,” the restaurant stated. “Allowing her to stay risked being perceived as a lack of support for the community that makes up the majority of our team, as well as their families and friend.” “Conversely, asking her to leave could be viewed as denying service based on differing beliefs. Ultimately, we made the decision to support our employees and guests who expressed they were uncomfortable,” they said. “We regret being placed in this position and having to make a difficult decision,” added the restaurant. “However, we stand by our choice to support our employees and guests.” Additionally, the restaurant exposed Huckabee Sanders for lying — par for the course for a Republican politician — by stating that they do “not recall any statements indicating that anyone felt threatened.” The governor’s team had to be asked twice to leave before they finally departed. Hilariously, one customer made an “inappropriate hand gesture” as Huckabee Sanders left. “Good morning! Sarah Huckabee Sanders no amount of evil you send our way can ever take our smiles away!!!” employee Zachary Hickman posted on Facebook with a group photo of the staff. “I’m proud af to work here! I’m proud af to be gay and I’m proud af to be an Arkansan. My voice matters. Try again.” What would you say to Huckabee Sanders if you had the chance? Please ❤️ and share if you stand with the employees!

BREAKING: Trump attacks Texas Democrat James Talarico — and gets a FIERY sermon in response that he won’t forget Donald Trump thought he could score cheap political points by calling James Talarico an “insult to Jesus” because the Texas Democratic Senate candidate is “beyond woke” and believes that God does not discriminate on the basis of gender. Unfortunately for Dementia Don, he picked the wrong person. Standing in a Black church in Texas, Talarico didn’t just clap back — he delivered a moral reckoning. “The president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus,” Talarico began. “You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their health care while cutting taxes for billionaires.” And that was only just the start. “You know what insults Jesus?” he continued. “Deporting the stranger and separating babies from their mothers.” Then he went even further — taking aim at war, corruption, and hypocrisy. “You know what insults Jesus? Bombing innocent school children in Iran and sending our brave men and women off to die in another forever war… Covering up the Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute a single person in them.” This wasn’t politics as usual. This was a full-on moral indictment. Talarico — who has been attacked by Trump for supporting transgender Americans and saying “trans children are God’s children” — flipped the script entirely. Instead of backing down, he grounded his message in the very teachings Trump tried to weaponize. “I am not a perfect Christian,” he said. “There’s only been one perfect Christian and he was crucified on a cross 2,000 years ago.” And then came the line that hit hardest: “Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves… Can we imagine war in heaven? Can we imagine bigotry in heaven? Can we imagine poverty in heaven? Then why do we tolerate these things on earth?” That’s how you respond. Not with insults. Not with fear. But with clarity — and conviction. Trump tried to smear him. Instead, Talarico delivered a sermon that’s now echoing far beyond that church. Please like and share James Talarico’s inspiring words!

In my district a 60-year old couple on the ACA exchange saw their rates go up an astonishing 299% over night. It’s insane that @RepAnnWagner voted against the subsidies three times! She’s now worth $26M so she will be fine. Just the working people will suffer. As always. @WellmanForMO

New KFF poll on expired ACA subsidies (among 2025 marketplace enrollees) —80% report higher health care costs —51% say "a lot" higher —28% switched plans, 9% went uninsured —78% say Congress was wrong to let funds expire —62% blame Trump or Republicans —14% blame Democrats

The Pentagon blackballed its own newspaper from covering its own press conference? Reminder, Stars & Stripes employees are US Army civilians. Their editorial independence is protected by Congress specifically to prevent political leaders from feeding troops propaganda.
Matthew Adams@MatthewAdams60

Stars and Stripes was not approved by the Pentagon to attend this press conference. I will be be watching it on a screen instead. Seems a bit odd since the Pentagon published a memo with changes to the newspaper, including content overhaul.

BREAKING: Donald Trump makes history in the worst way possible as Iran shoots and hits an "invincible" F-35 fighter jet for the first time ever — destroying it's reputation as an "unhittable" plane. Taxpayers shelled out $2.1 trillion to develop this aircraft... "The F-35 is the most advanced node in a 21st Century Security network-centric architecture," claimed Lockheed Martin. "An innovative combination of stealth, speed, and cutting-edge sensors allows it to fly through or slip past advanced air defenses, virtually undetected," claimed Air & Space Forces Magazine. “It's like fighting Mr. Invisible," said one Air Force official. These quotes are just a taste of the hubris that the U.S. military displayed while discussing this jet program in the past... And it all came crashing down in a single moment. An F-35, the crown jewel of our supposed air superiority, was forced to make an emergency landing at an American air base in the Middle East after it was struck by Iranian fire. The jet had been “flying a combat mission over Iran” at the time. “The aircraft landed safely, and the pilot is in stable condition. This incident is under investigation," said Captain Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for U.S. Central Command. In addition to the aforementioned $2.1 trillion program price tag, an individual F-35 costs roughly $100 million. It's unclear how much it will cost to repair the crippled aircraft but the damage to its warfighting reputation is incalculable. This catastrophic incident reveals that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was blatantly lying when he claimed that Iran's air defenses have been "flattened" by Trump's bombing campaign. Trump himself has echoed similar lies about Iran's current defense capabilities. They want us to think that this war has already been won — but it becomes more apparent with each passing day that Iran is winning. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed and they hold all of the leverage. Meanwhile, we're destroying our most valuable military equipment and burning through money that we could be investing back home. Hegseth's Pentagon just yesterday asked the White House for an additional $200 billion to wage this illegal war. All of this is in service of fighting a country who posed no threat to us so that Israel can expand its power in the region. We are witnessing nothing short of national destruction at the hands of the MAGA regime. Please ❤️ and share to demand an end to the war!

BREAKING: University of Arkansas chapter DUMPS Turning Point USA after accusing them of exploiting Charlie Kirk’s death. A major conservative campus group just imploded — and the reason is turning heads across the political world. A chapter of Turning Point USA at the University of Arkansas has cut ties with the organization entirely, accusing the group of exploiting the death of its founder, Charlie Kirk, for political gain. But the timing of the decision is what’s raising eyebrows, coming less than a week after Erika Kirk, the late activist’s widow and newly installed CEO of the organization, visited Arkansas to promote an expansion of the group across the state alongside Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Then, instead of celebrating the visit, the campus chapter dropped a bombshell. In a public statement, the group’s former president said members were deeply uncomfortable with how Turning Point USA has repeatedly invoked Charlie Kirk’s name since he was killed at a campus event last year. “We are generally put off by how Charlie Kirk has been used by TPUSA since his assassination,” he wrote. According to the statement, leaders were frustrated by constant messaging claiming “Charlie would have said…” or “Charlie would have wanted…” — language they described as “disingenuous and manipulative.” “Charlie Kirk cannot speak for himself anymore,” the statement continued. “We do not recognize the way others have attempted to speak for him.” The backlash was strong enough that the chapter unanimously voted to walk away from Turning Point USA altogether. Instead, the group is rebranding under a new name — Young American Revival — and launching its own organization separate from the national conservative powerhouse. The dramatic break comes at an awkward moment for Turning Point USA, which has been aggressively expanding its presence on campuses and recently partnered with Arkansas officials to bring the organization to schools across the state. But now, a chapter that once proudly carried the group’s banner says it has had enough. When even a conservative college chapter decides to break away from one of the right wing’s most powerful youth organizations — and publicly accuses it of manipulating a fallen leader’s legacy — it’s a sign that something inside the movement is seriously cracking.

BREAKING: Trump gets HUMILIATED as the World Happiness Report reveals that the United States isn't even in the Top 20 countries — and it's easy to see why. MAGA is making us all more miserable... Not surprisingly, the top spots went predominantly to the Nordic and Northern European countries that have robust public healthcare systems and leadership that has not devolved into all-out fascism. Finland was named the happiest country in the world for the 9th year in a row, cementing a record. Iceland landed at number two with Denmark in third. Costa Rica was in fourth. Israel found itself at Number 8 and once again, this is a country with universal healthcare. Meanwhile, Americans regularly go bankrupt from medical debt while their taxes are used to fight Israel's wars and subsidize their military. The United States landed in spot 23, an utterly pathetic ranking for the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Australia, most Western European countries, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE all ranked ahead of us. Even a cursory analysis explains why. In addition to having an extractive, dysfunctional healthcare system that heavily favors the rich, we don't invest properly in education or domestic infrastructure. Thanks to right-wing media, we are polarized to be constantly at our neighbors' throats so that we don't notice the billionaires and corporations robbing us blind. All of these happiness-destroying trends have accelerated under Trump as he's worked to divide us further while looting the public treasury, slashing social services, and guiding us towards economic collapse. It's harder to be a proud American when your leader is a pedophile starting illegal and pointless foreign wars. The ranking was based on the Gallup World Poll asking citizens in 147 countries to rate their lives on a scale of 1 to 10. Finns came in with an average life satisfaction of 7.76 while Americans came in at 6.82, a 0.27 decrease from last year. The researchers also factored in generosity, GDP per capita, life expectancy, as well as perceptions of freedom and corruption. “Successful societies cooperate in the face of adversity. The Finns know this. And once you have the sense that you are in this together, there’s no end to what you can do," said John F. Helliwell, professor emeritus of economics at the University of British Columbia. He is a founding editor of the World Happiness Report. How about you? Are you a happy American? What immediate changes could this country make to improve your happiness? What long-term changes? Were you happier under President Biden? Please ❤️ and share if you can't wait until MAGA is gone for good!

Gas prices up. Air quality down. Somehow both problems have the same source. Coincidence… or just a lot of hot air? #UnderTrumpGasStinks

Every day this war continues costs American taxpayers $2 billion that could fund healthcare, education, or infrastructure. Republicans chose bombs over budgets that help working families survive. #UnderTrumpGasStinks

No, that’s not fog—it’s policy in motion. When prices rise and excuses follow, somehow the air gets harder to breathe… and so does your budget. Coincidence? Or just hot air with consequences? #UnderTrumpGasStinks
