Just had my first-ever experience of a delivery guy needing to collect a tariff from me in order to give me my package. Only a bank or cashier’s check is accepted, so no way for me to pay, I have to go to the bank tomorrow and the postman will try again. Very cool new system, America is great again

I liked what the #AntiFascistFrog had to say.

"So I'm out here protesting in a frog costume to, especially in a Frog costume, just to show how ridiculous the notion that we are violent terrorists is. It's just to showcase how that narrative is wrong."

Yea! The #Portland #FrogBrigade rocks!

"We decided to come support our friend Toad.

He's a friend from another pond.

They are calling Portland an explosive fire-ridden sort of warland, which it's not, because we're here."

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.
