If we’re acting like we’re at ‘war’ with Venezuela, shouldn’t Congress have a say in that? I think President Trump owes the American people an explanation.

Q: "What do you make of the president labeling affordability as a Democratic hoax? Is that claim backed up by data?"
Me: "No, it's a lie. It's patronizing and it's disgusting. This isn't how we should have economic discussions."

This is an aggressive soft power move at a time when America’s men are busy trying to kill our babies, deport our workers, and shoot down random fishermen overseas. Just be hot and make grilled cheese like normal people, I beg you

I have one piece of advice for American men: be the guy at the party who makes everyone a perfect grilled cheese at 3 in the morning and you’ll never sleep alone. Also what is going on with this embassy thirst trap

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.
