If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

Trump just called JB Pritzker a “slob of a governor“. Had this mofo looked in the mirror lately?

Trump desperately wants people to think he’s healthy. The language in this memorandum from his doctor is filled with propaganda. It’s no different from the doctors lying about his condition when he contracted Covid-19 in 2020.

Trump is not well. They can’t hide the truth.

... his own military base by cutting deals with Qatar so he has his own military force to serve his needs when he calls. This Qatar base is to protect his power. It's extremely unusual things to allow it to happen on the US soil.

He seeked Russia to help him get elected in 2016. He pressured Ukraine to Quid Pro Quo to get reelected. He recruited J6 goons to stop the 2020 election certification. He got Elon Musk to cheat the election counts in 2024. He's been 'fixing' to stay 'permanently' in the WH. Now he's building...

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America.

America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will drop—though I have no idea what or when that will be.

And the scope of his lie! He's lying about the event he's describing, then lying about his reaction to an event that's nothing like what he describes, then he's crafting a big narrative about how he and others have been patient with a nonexistent situation. In other times we'd call this psychopathy.

It’s not about the Qataris; it’s about American sovereignty. There should be no foreign bases on American soil. There is nothing about this that remotely says “America first.” 😡 It’s about the money.

Speaker Johnson won’t swear her in because she would be the final signature to turn over ALL of the Epstein files.

A Qatar Air Force base in Idaho? On American soil? Are you fucking kidding me! We are inviting in the military of a country that sponsored Hamas. What could possibly go wrong? I wonder how much they paI’d Trump and Kushner for this. This I quite possibly the stupidest thing they have done to date.

A President who uses the shutdown to target "Democrat (sic) programs" for cuts is one who ignores the needs of the American people.

These programs are clean energy jobs, vital infrastructure, and essential health care funding in red and blue districts alike.

Stop punishing the American people.

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina, a main US competitor in the soybean market.

This is a move that will only further screw over American soybean farmers, who're being priced out of their own market.
