Trump Falls For Satire From Site Called ‘The Dunning Kruger Times’
Over the weekend, the President of the United States fell for obvious satire from a website literally called "The Dunning Kruger Times." Donald Trump—a man with access to the best, most accurate information on basically any subject—posted to Truth Social a screenshot claiming that "DOGE halts yearly payments of $2.5 million to Barack Obama for 'royalties linked to Obamacare.' Obama has collected this payment since 2010, for a total of $40 million in taxpayer dollars."

Judge Ellis is on the bench this morning about to rule in the case about DHS's use of force in Chicago. Things are not going well for DHS — she just accused Gregory Bovino of lying under oath about his use of force.
Ellis turns to the testimony of U.S. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. How he denied using force against a man he tackled and said he didn't see the Rev. David Black hit by pepperballs.
"More telling," she says, "defendant Bovino admitted that he lied."

No, man, Republicans are in charge of the government.

Because I'm pretty positive that's *you* who's been doing that.
