Massie's right. And the answer will wind up being something simple: he's a crony of Trump's and he made the right campaign contributions.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

Trump is in it for himself, 100%. His sole aims are to expunge his intolerable 2020 loss and become immeasurably wealthy. He cares nothing for America. Even Stephen Miller's extreme cruelty is just a side benefit.

If you put 3 common grocery store items in front of him he wouldn’t have the first clue how much any of them cost. He has no idea whatsoever what life is like for 99.99% of Americans. Worse than that is that he has zero interest in finding out because he doesn’t care.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Reform’s ex-leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, was found guilty of accepting Russian bribes.

We need stronger legislation to protect our democracy from foreign interference.

But Reform’s absence from this week’s debate shows they aren’t interested in learning from past failures.

ICE arrested ~200 people during its surge in Maine. Only a few had committed a crime.

DHS data shows <14% of the people they’ve apprehended had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.

Fourteen.

The “worst of the worst” argument was always bullshit. Now we have the data to prove it.
Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

Trump's attacks on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which have included gutting its workforce and dropping enforcement actions, have cost consumers nearly $20B in the last year alone.

It's a new golden age for corporate crooks.

And Trump is happily letting them rip us off.

The Trump regime is prioritizing the safety and security of their violent ICE goons over the safety and security of the American people. That’s textbook fascism.

I can’t complain, but living in darkness and cold day after day is incredibly hard. You’re constantly racing against time — even simple things like taking a shower have to be carefully planned around the moments when there is electricity. 1/2

Through all the Trump lies and scandals, pay attention to DATES. He confuses times on purpose. Don't fall for it. Epstein had dinner at MAL with him in 2017. Trump said he broke off 2008. He blames Biden for J6? HE was still president another 2 weeks. If he isn't careful w dates - WE need to be.
