What a story:

“Lewandowski and Noem, both married, have denied the reports of the affair, but people said they do little to hide their relationship.

“The pair have been using a luxury 737 MAX jet, with a private cabin in back, for their travel around the country”

The utter BS fictions from DHS about every ICE shooting. Howard Lutnick's preposterous Epstein fib, and much more

Government lying isn't just bad. It's unconstitutional, and much of it is felony perjury. The next admin needs to send the liars to jail

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.
Election denier involved in fake electors plot wrote much of SAVE America Act, Trump-aligned think tank claims
“I’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electoral plot in Arizona.

“Since I got to this center all you will feel is sadness and mostly depression.”

These are the words of a 14-year-old held in an immigration detention center.

Trump is spending your tax dollars keeping kids like Ariana in detention, not lowering costs.

AMERICANS – not foreign companies – pay 96% of the cost of Donald Trump’s tariffs.

He enacted an enormous sales tax, and it’s a big part of why prices keep going up.

Not every issue in our politics needs to be shirts and skins. Republicans don’t need to automatically be against everything Democrats stand for. We could decide together that no president should ever arrest a political opponent for free speech.

I know this seems like it should be impossible, but both of these statements are true: Trump's judicial nominees all refuse to denounce the January 6 insurrection or say that he lost the 2020 election, and ALSO, some Senate Dems keep voting to confirm those nominees to life-tenured judgeships
Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees?
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee keep decrying Trump nominees as unqualified extremists. They also keep voting to confirm them.
