This fact that Dutch Intelligence has determined the US cant be trusted and has leaked to Russia, has proved even after 47 is long gone, the regime has squandered the world's goodwill. A third of voters care, a third didn't care to vote, and the last third can created this dumpster fire.

This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

Friends,

May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines.

Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

Maybe nothing will shake the lie that has infected America for over 50 years, that the Republican party is "good for business, good for the economy, good for your wallet."

It's a complete LIE and always has been. They always crash the economy.

This time is the worst.
They are going for BROKE.

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today.

You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!
