So the US military is about to become the Drug Enforcement Agency for South America since we obviously learned nothing from the last 60 years of foreign policy.

Jack Ciattarelli: “I’ve told [Trump], as governor… I’m going to work in partnership with him to keep our country and New Jersey safe.”

Jack Ciattarelli would welcome Trump’s federal agents to roam freely in New Jersey.

I think we all can sleep better at night knowing the motors in our military drones are now being manufactured by Don Jr’s company in FL.

Hopefully we won’t need them to fly for very long.

"Tearing down the White House and replacing it with a facsimile of Mar-a-Lago isn’t any less appalling because Trump cajoled companies into paying for it. Indeed, it might be worse. Funding a pet project via the coercion of private donors creates a closed loop and complete lack of accountability."

King Trump turns US Treasury into his personal piggy bank

He thinks our money is his.

Dear republican congressman:

You just got another week off, you have absolutely no plans since you were going to be in dc.

How about some town halls? If you do three, that’s a total of 6 hours of work the whole week. Easy peasy!

He sends them into blue cities, he uses them to blow up what he claims are drug-running boats in international waters—and now he pays them, he says, on his own authority. This is a dangerous argument that the troops work not for us but for him. www.thebulwark.com/p/time-to-sh...

The people in Arizona’s 7th congressional district have been without representation in Congress for over 7 months.

Mike Johnson continues to deny them representation because their duly elected representative has pledged to sign the petition to release the Epstein files.

MAGA can tell me to “cry harder” all day long, but they know damn well they didn’t vote for ballrooms and breadlines.

They know.

They’re just too damn stubborn, stupid and scared to admit it.

Trump claims that a mystery friend has donated $130 million to pay troops (it would cover a fraction) but we can’t know any details because he “doesn’t want recognition.”

I appreciate anyone willing to give $130 million to our troops but I’d still like to know more about this.

Trump didn’t get the funding from oligarchs to destroy our WH because he was trying to save taxpayer money. He knew that Congress was not going to fund it, & even making the ask would have given the public advance notice and led to hearings. He wanted to do it like a King would.
