I'm seeing a lot of that too. Even the Trump houses that were all done up top to bottom have removed their paraphernalia. Good for them!

This is how easy it is to flip MTG. She really only wanted her bestie back. Too bad he cant ever run for office again or even vote. That's the difference between a pardon and commutation. He may be on parole or have to check in. So I dont expect to see Santos around unless MTG give him a job.

I would hate to think this is a trade for her backing off the Trumpstein files.

💔 A series of satellite images shows how the Mariupol cemetery has expanded year after year.

The scale of the burials is horrifying. According to various estimates, Russia has killed more than 100,000 residents of Mariupol.

My 10 year-old daughter asked:

"Dad, are we going to get shot if we go to the march?"

THIS is exactly what Donald Trump wants our innocent kids to fear.

We refuse to be scared.
WE WILL SEE YOU THERE!!!!!

It's on the list of things to care about. We have seen no news about the guy. It has to come out eventually. You keep doing you/ I'll do me, and it will all be covered. I support bringing information out about this, but I'd like to get the Epstein Files out there. Together we can get it all done

For all the chatter abt the Santos pardon, these details are some of the most insightful.

Reminder: Ed Martin, Trump's US Pardon attorney (R) and George Santos, whose sentence he just helped commute (L) were both speakers at the Stop the Steal rally the day before the Jan 6 Capitol attack. The next day, they both sat in the VIP section at Trump's Ellipse rally. 1/

Santos in Solitary: A passionate plea to President Trump
Mr. President, I am not asking for sympathy. I am asking for fairness — for the chance to rebuild.

Wow I didn’t realize Santos published an open letter to Trump in some long island right wing rag just this past Monday.

“Supporting you wasn’t just a political decision—it was personal. It was rooted in my conviction that you were the only leader who truly put this nation, and her people, first.”
The only way a man can ever find the truth is by having the courage to ask the question. And today, I am asking you respectfully, earnestly, and directly for your understanding and compassion. Not long ago, you sat down with Rob Finnerty on Newsmax. During that interview, you were asked about me — about whether you might ever consider granting clemency in my case. You responded with the honesty and candor that have always defined you, Sir. As I listened, I couldn’t help but reflect on the journey we’ve shared in this great movement you began the day you came down that golden escalator in Trump Tower. From that very moment, I was all in. A lifelong Republican and a proud believer in your America First vision, I never wavered. Supporting you wasn’t just a political decision — it was personal. It was rooted in my conviction that you were the only leader who truly put this nation, and her people, first. During my short tenure in Congress, I stood firmly behind your agenda — 100% of the time. I championed policies that strengthened our economy, defended our borders, and restored America’s standing on the world stage. I did it proudly, Sir, because I believed — and still believe — in the mission you set out to accomplish for the American people. Today, I find myself in a place I never imagined I would be. Since August 28, 2025, I have been held in complete isolation inside the Special Housing Unit — what most know as “the SHU.” I was placed here, I’m told, due to an alleged death threat brought to light by investigative reporters from Project Veritas. Life in SHU is unlike anything most Americans could ever comprehend. I am locked inside a small steel cage twenty-four hours a day. My only contact with the outside world is a brief phone call to my family — once every thirty days. While they are unaware of the full reality of my situation, what weighs most heavily on my heart is my inability to protect them, to comfort them, or even to assure them that I am safe. The facility has informed me that I will remain in this state of solitary confinement until the FBI’s investigation concludes — whenever that may be. Until then, I exist in limbo, caught between uncertainty and silence. Mr. President, I am not asking for sympathy. I am asking for fairness — for the chance to rebuild. I know I have made mistakes in my past. I have faced my share of consequences, and I take full responsibility for my actions. But no man, no matter his flaws, deserves to be lost in the system, forgotten and unseen, enduring punishment far beyond what justice requires. Sir, I appeal to your sense of justice and humanity — the same qualities that have inspired millions of Americans to believe in you. I humbly ask that you consider the unusual pain and hardship of this environment and allow me the opportunity to return to my family, my friends, and my community. I want nothing more than to begin again — to contribute, to serve, and to rebuild my life from the ashes of my past. Mr. President, I have nowhere else to turn. You have always been a man of second chances, a leader who believes in redemption and renewal. I am asking you now, from the depths of my heart, to extend that same belief to me. With the deepest respect and gratitude,I thank you for taking the time to hear my plea. Truly yours,George Santos Former Congressman, New York’s 3rd District
