They’re targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James for one reason: she had the courage to hold Donald Trump accountable.

This is political weaponization of our courts, plain and simple—and proof that when you stand up to corruption, they come for you.

Fascinating report on crime scene photos of #Epstein cell & how they raise more questions than give answers

His cell never underwent a proper inspection!

Oh come on!

The DHS has helicopters, planes, drones & satellite imaging at their disposal

There is no way anything gets hidden on Earth anymore

The only way Portland's "war zone" could be hidden was if it were underground

Such liars!

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

It’s amazing the US government thinks they can pass bills that allow US border guards to operate more freely on Canadian land. They can’t seem to respect the sovereignty of any nation. What happens on Canadian land is up to our lawmakers.

Felon 47 sets a tariff
Prices go up for farmers
Then he says he'll give the money collected from the tariffs to the farmers

So basically he's giving them their own money back

How is that efficient govt???

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro 1d If you're at a dinner and somebody introduces himself as "Dr. Smith," you'd be rather upset to learn that he had a doctorate in musicology if you were to suffer a stroke at the table.

Man in the black and white flag mask biked in circles around the Zohran Mamdani presser in Jackson Heights this morning calling the mayoral candidate “a terrorist.” After a minute or two of that, the muscular man screamed at him to get out of here with his bigoted shit.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

People are asking: Why is Trump screwing American farmers so badly when they’re his most loyal voting bloc?

Maybe because it’s a cheap land grab. Run farmers out of business, then he and his billionaire buddies buy up millions of acres for pennies on the dollar.

Are the farmers catching on yet?
