He shut the government down for a month to hide files establishing the extent of his fraternization with the most infamous serial child rapist of the last century, and now he is threatening to invade Nigeria to protect members of a religion he pretends to practice but has never actually belonged to

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI.

Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity.

AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

Additionally, Trump is a veteran manipulator of the media and could be anticipating the Sunday morning news shows, seeking to sideline discussions of SNAP and the government shutdown.

He and Republicans are not polling well on those issues because the public rightly holds them largely responsible.

There’s also the fact that the US has a Secretary of Defense with a Deus Vult tattoo, which is a battle cry used by Christians during the Crusades.

Yes sir.
The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria — and anywhere — must end immediately. The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian Government protects Christians, or we will kill the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump

If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, "guns-a-blazing," to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists…

Any young person who's trying to figure out manipulative patterns and behaviors, would be well-advised watch videos of Mike Johnson with the sound off – and then listen to him with audio only. He's a quintessential high-manipulative personality. Stay far, far away from anyone who reminds you of him.

Congratulations to Brett Kavanaugh, who now has Joe Arpaio convinced you've rewritten the Constitution to support his tastes.

[This isn't the full tweet. It just goes on and on and on.]

I have been vindicated by the US Supreme Court!

A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo has vindicated me, affirming that law-enforcement officers may lawfully consider factors such as language, type of work, and ethnicity during immigration enforcement.

The ruling validates the very methods that led to my wrongful contempt conviction, confirming that my crime-fighting actions were legal, constitutional, and grounded in common sense.

My career spans more than six decades of service, from US Army veteran, to Drug Enforcement Administration regional director, to my 24-year tenure as Sheriff of Maricopa County, one of the nation’s largest jurisdictions.

After taking office, President Donald Trump has made fighting illegal immigration and the drug problem a top priority, with tremendous results. I predicted that one day the courts would confirm President Trump’s and Arpaio’s lawful actions. Today, that day has arrived.

The deck was stacked against me from the beginning. In 2009, when Obama and Biden took office, they made me a prime target in their "First 100 Days" report. It should be noted that in subsequent years, Obama and I have had a unique adversarial relationship. Let’s just say I don’t expect to ever receive a Christmas card from him!

Food sales in Russia appear stable - but only because of rising prices. In kilograms, liters, and units, however, the volume of purchases fell by 5% in January-September, according to the company Taxcom.

Russians are buying 8% less milk and 10% less rice.
