πŸ™„ Looks like one of the former Doge employees stole US social security data...you can thank Elon for that one.

Basically everyone should have credit monitoring at this point...🀬

Trump is still salty about 2020 now his administration is hitting Smartmatic with federal charges and they’re calling it exactly what it is pure retaliation.

A statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein styled like Jack and Rose from Titanic appeared on the National Mall today, showing the two figures standing on a ship’s bow with their arms outstretched in the film’s famous β€œKing of the World” pose.

This was my second visit to the ICE facility in Baltimore. Each time, it made the hair stand up on my arms.

The conditions are inhumane, and the treatment of people is unacceptable.

Instead of lowering gas prices, this Administration chooses to spend its time on this CRUELTY.

BREAKING NEWS: Reporter Calls Out Trump's Lie Directly To His Face Really American | Tuesday Morning, March 10, 2026

β€œYou just suggested that Iran got its hands on a U.S. Tomahawk and BOMBED ITS OWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on the first day of the war.

You are the only person in your government saying this.

WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON SAYING THIS?”

Human waste backing up in basements is a gut-churning sign of US infrastructure problems A major sewer pipe collapse has dumped hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River, highlighting a nationwide problem involving failing infrastructure.

No money to feed hungry children.
No money to home the unhoused.
No money for health insurance.
No money to stop sewage from backing up into our homes.
But billions of dollars are spent bombing a country that was no threat to us.

Hegseth gutted offices that would have probed Iran school strike The number of Pentagon employees who focus on mitigating civilian casualties has dropped from 200 people to less than 40.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has gutted the Pentagon oversight offices that would have investigated the recent strike on an Iranian girls’ school β€” a move that has degraded America’s ability to protect civilians amid its largest air campaign in decades.

This is absolutely maddening.

We β€œcan’t afford” Medicaid, to help children with food insecurities or fund education but we can waste millions on these buffoons and their lavish lifestyles.

$25 mil on Surf and Turf for Kegseth
$200 mil for Kristi Noem’s mile-high-club.

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again β€” Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them β€” But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.
