🚨 💰 WOW — @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn snuck a provision into the spending bill that would let them sue the government for $500,000 because Jack Smith looked into their phone records around Trump’s insurrection.

"We reject the narrative that casts Afrikaners as victims of racial persecution in post-apartheid South Africa," a group of over 40 prominent Afrikaners said .."
Trump boycotts South Africa's G20, but some Afrikaners hit back at his claims. What is he up to, or does he just not want to give up golf/party time? Or maybe he thinks it will interfere with his naps?

When I was pregnant, I tried to eat well, stay healthy & protect myself from undue stress because the baby could be affected.
For this reason, ICE had a long time policy not to detain pregnant people.
But now they are detaining them, brutalizing them & denying medical attention.

Goldman Sachs says the U.S. lost 50,000 jobs last month—which is why Trump’s refusing to release the jobs and inflation reports. They don’t want you seeing how bad the economy really is, but everybody knows.

Remember, now that Bezos has decreed the paper will skew right, you can't trust WAPO anymore.....
The Wash Post Editorial Board published one of the most reckless pieces of “journalism” I’ve ever seen, attacking NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani.
The article is replete with disinfo, half truths, & anti-Black racism. I dismantle each of their claims—with receipts
