Ya think? Because I believe alongside the established Kremlin-RW propaganda pipeline there’s consistent comms between people in the pseudo-journalism/influencer sphere and current Trump admin.

They’re especially going to hate it when those standards apply to newly-minted β€œjournalists” like Pim Tool.

Elon is trying to argue that X is worth nearly as much as Twitter was.

Objective estimates, by contrast, have X dropping to 25% of Twitter’s previous value.

This is clearly the same sort of financial fraud that earned Trump 30+ felony convictions.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?

If that pardoned Judge-murderer were then to run into a modern day Jack Ruby, I wonder how that Ruby would be treated by their own trial judge?

A lot of the people in this tragic farce are unapologetic villains.

Donald Trump and Stephen Miller have been the bad guys their entire life.

But Marco Rubio is a study in spinelessness. A festival of hypocrisy. There is nothing Marco would not sacrifice to advance himself.

Pathetic.

Fun fact: nondebatable β‰  nonfilibusterable.

As far as I can tell, there’s no reason this couldn’t be done on a motion to proceed to a budget resolution or to a reconciliation bill.

Nancy Mace lied about being assaulted.

I keep saying this but she still hasn't sued me for defamation.

It sounds like when Marge Greene threatened to release all the other ethics cases from Congress, that at least a few of them featured Chip Roy
