Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated.
This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

The WH released photos of Trump watching the operation live from a makeshift “war room” at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump went on Fox News this morning and said he watched it like “a television show,” praising the “speed” and “violence” as “an amazing thing.”

I just watched the interview with Grenell. Kudos for staying cool.
I have to admit to struggling to understand the benefits of having a guy like that on. The only thing I learned was that he is a total ass, sycophant and liar.

It’s not our duty to just smile and nod when a man with this much power demonstrates that he’s a pathological liar and an imbecile. Quite the contrary. Real patriots say out loud this is just plain nuts and he’s unfit to hold office.
Trump: "It's funny, I settled 8 wars. Some were going on for 35 years. And we got them settled in a couple of days. Some of them -- one was going on for 37 years. I settled it in one day. But this is a very complex one."

I see Sinclair Broadcasting’s right wing ‘national desk’ has its local stations running the same fake poll story about Tim Walz. Local communities deserve better than the trash served up by this propaganda company. It has 185 local stations & is trying to get more. Ugh.

Can we blow up Fox “News?”
He is promising, on camera, to break his oath to the Constitution by illegally and unconstitutionally usurping the exclusive authority of Congress. Sprinkle in a little 'blowing up the Union' to boot
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."
