Do you have any idea how many thousands of troops it would take to occupy Gaza permanently? This is fucking insane.
REPORTER: You are talking tonight about the US taking over a sovereign territory. What authority would allow you to do that? Are you talking about a permanent occupation?
TRUMP: I do see a long term ownership position

Dems need to start speaking up like Rep. Crockett and actually meeting the moment. Not this poll tested gobbledygook they've been saying.

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls
Contrary to some info I've seen, 19-yr-old Doge staffer "BigBalls" Edward Coristine did not delete his X account, it's just renamed and is private.
Wired reported that govt tech workers had to defend their work to the Neuralink intern in an Office Space-esque scene.

Can someone verify that Big Balls' father owns the Lesser Evil Snack brands (Himalayan salt popcorn), available at Costco, among others?

I am deeply, deeply, indescribably angry at every single fucking person who thinks Trump didn't mean it, that Trump wouldn't do what he promised he'd do, but particularly everyone who works the DC politics/policy/gov industry
I'm deeply afraid that if Canadian PM Trudeau goes through with cutting off energy and critical minerals in retaliation for the 25% "Trump Tariff Tax," Trump might actually order military strikes against Canada.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.
