I hope the world knows that the people really didn't vote for this, & that he & musk literally cheated his way back into the White House. Congress had every chance to challenge this & verify. Elon told us he could hack any computer, & Trump said they don't need votes, b/c they already have them.

Trump Removes Sanctions on Russia to Help Oil Flow Amid Iran Conflict

1. Donald Trump starts a war with Iran, deeply unpopular with the American people, that causes oil prices to spike.

2. Trump allows Russia to sell its oil at those inflated prices, giving Russia far more money for its war with Ukraine.

3. Trump is Russia First.

UPDATE: Judge Nelson has ordered the release of a man "shockingly" described in a public post by DHS as "the worst of the worst" based on criminal charges that hadn't yet been filed and were later dropped.

That post may complicate his deportation too.

Like I just want to know what kind of monster goes to work every day at the ICE camp holding small children confiscating their crayons while they beg to be let out so they can go to the spelling bee while being served rotten food.

The regime is still in power — gas prices are up. Service members are dying — I hope the president stops the war. I don't care about the politics — I just want the war to end

This is what I have been waiting for. People need to stop assuming and/or speculating and let the facts reveal themselves. We also need the right leadership to say it publicly. This regime is gaslighting TF out of America.
