This makes me sick to my stomach. Fucking grifter trying to make money off of a dignified transfer.

The Pentagon is moving up to 5,000 Marines to the Middle East amid escalating tensions

Remember when Trump campaigned on bringing down the debt?

The US National Debt increased by over $1,000,000,000,000 in the first five months of the fiscal year.

One trillion in new debt.

Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth is splurging on king crab, lobster, and steaks as Trump cuts off food aid for kids.

While millions are struggling to make ends meet, Donald Trump is exploiting the presidency to get even richer through shady crypto deals and blatant self-dealing.

New "Golden Age" for whom, exactly?

The party of β€œfiscal responsibility” somehow managed to spend $2 million on crab legs. Apparently deficits are only a crisis when it’s schools, childcare, or healthcare. But seafood? Suddenly the budget opens right up. #Momsky www.tmz.com/2026/03/10/p...

Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Epstein paid for a conference of top scientists in 2006. His motives are now clear A 2006 conference for physicists in the U.S. Virgin Islands that included a trip to Jeffrey Epstein's private island shows how he used his wealth to build relationships with prominent scientists.

It’s a cult. People say that like it’s a joke. It’s not. Just look at Lindsay Graham. This is a God-damned cult and they behave like it.

It turns out the U.S. did a β€œdouble tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown A WSJ investigation tracked the U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive federal campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.

Crucially important read:

The DHS is abusing its power to brand American protesters as terrorists.

WSJ: 181 of the 279 β€œpeople accused by officials on X of attacking federal officers in the past year” are U.S. citizens.

About 1/2 never charged.

0 convicted.

I will miss Kristi Noem's inimitable constitutional insights, as when, asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. at a Senate hearing to define "habeas corpus," she replied, "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

143M of your tax money went to a company that was 8 days old. 8 days old.

I forget who caved on that funding bill. It'll come to me.

This is ludicrous. The charge may be the same, but the facts are utterly different. This is the sort of thing you say when you’re looking for an excuse to capitulate without it seeming like capitulation. Nobody familiar with both cases could seriously claim they’re remotely analogous.

This is why I will never forget or forgive anyone who voted for him. Because of you and your inability to see through his cracks we are looking at living in a police state! This will certainly make us great, NOT!!

This statement by Marco Rubio is a thing of beauty. No notes. It can be taken exactly as is and dropped into Orwell's 1984. I believe the correct Homeric adjective for military reasoning like this is "Hell-kissed."

Get thee to the Smithsonian, war crime-speak.

The Save Act would actually require every single person to bring their birth certificate or passport to register to vote AND to vote, and how many people know where their birth certificate is? Women who've changed their name. Need to go and purchase a $165 dollar passport to vote?

Federal law says you MUST carry your immigration documents at all times.

So what happens when ICE takes them and won't give them back? You're trapped.

Legally required to carry papers that the government is holding hostage.

This is happening right now in Minnesota, and it's spreading.

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)

These are not serious people or good faith actors.
