Yep. It's been going on for 2 years now with outright lies and fabrications completely unrelated to reality with zero accountability. Longer if you count twisting the truth or manipulating the narrative with no pushback from MSM, we are at over 10 years of that BS

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with Republicans on government shutdown, releasing the Epstein files, and ACA subsidies/health insurance. Earlier this year, her party dissuaded her from running for senate in 2026 and pushed her to stay in the house. How long will MTG continue to do the right thing?

NEW: A senior ICE official testified today the WH Homeland Security Council — and not the State Department — informed him Uganda was the deportation target for Abrego Garcia.

DOJ then asserted presidential privilege over any other details about the call. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

There is no point in funding the government if the mad king is just going to unilaterally impound whatever Congress appropriates that he doesn't like. There is no deal to be had.

It’s only been a few months since Trump accepted a luxury jet from Qatar.

He said it was “just a gift”.

Today Hegseth announced that Qatar would be building a base on American soil.

To be clear that’s not a gift, that’s a bribe.

There is nothing Trump will not sell to line his pockets, including America. After accepting a $400 million jet and getting permission to build a golf course in Qatar, Trump is now welcoming the former terrorist state's air force where pilots will train to fly F-15s in Idaho. 👇

Does Qatar have the Epstein files or its equivalent? Is Qatar blackmailing Trump in exchange for building an air force base on US soil? It's either this or billions of dollars.

Release the Epstein files. Now.
