So to answer Eric Trumps questions , 1 There is no way the FBI planted this amount of documentation into Mar a Lago (LOOK AT IT in the pictures) 2) the security camera's hard drives @ Mar a lago were taken into evidence by the FBI and as a consequence of that action became disabled or tuned off

This is hands down the largest security breach of classified documents in American history if you or I had even one of these documents we would be tried and then imprisoned for years ... if anything this proves that the DOJ was far too lenient with Donald Trump when concerned with this breach

Lets be clear it was not Jack Smith that did this search -It was requested by the US Archivist & signed off on by a Judge who issued a warrant and than executed by the FBI who then turned the evidence over to Jack Smith who presented it to a grand jury who later indicted Donald Trump for his crime

Exactly. They're talking about extending the age to receive benefits again. If they had their way, we'd all just die before receiving any of it. I retired at 62 because they had already extended it from 65 to 67 and I didn't trust them to not do it again.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Or more likely a bunch Republicans politicians were calling or receiving calls from someone who was the target of a FBI surveillance operation... And Bongino would have to request that those specific individuals be unmasked ... The FBI would not be targeting someone on the basis that they were GOP

Fox News Entertainment Channel- basically a soap opera that no one can tell if its real or not - www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-kar...

Fox News won a court case by 'persuasively' arguing that no 'reasonable viewer' takes Tucker Carlson seriously

Tucker Carlson has a long history of making racist and controversial statements as a primetime host on Fox News.

I haven't had time to dig into Republican laws that I helped create, voted for in the past and that President Trump signed into law - The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 (GEFTA) -so saith Mike Johnson (Speaker of the house now)

Mike Johnson: "Federal workers, it's my understanding that the law is that they would be paid. There is some other legal analysis floating around. I haven't yet had time to dig in and read that."

Trump projecting his lack of leadership and approval ....He knows how absolutely terrible he has been for our country and the American people

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump: "The Democrats have no leader. They remind me of Somalia. I met the president of Somalia. I told him, 'you have somebody from Somalia who's telling us how to run our country. Would you like to take her back?' He said, 'No I don't want her!'"

Pam Bondi just reminded us that she's part of the Epstein cover up. Bondi's defensiveness/evasive at Tuesday's Senate hearing when asked about Epstein is what prosecutors call consciousness of guilt. Bondi is guilty of being part of cover up. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/pam-bondi-...

Obvious contempt from Bondi simply shows her disdain for the rule of law and our countries laws .... She is corrupt beyond imagination

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 1d

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.

Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

And we all know that trump billed it as a total of "no taxes on tips", which was a misrepresentation like everything that he says that he even comes close to promise-keeping.

James Garman-8647 @jas-gar.bsky.social · 1d

Suprise: The "no tax on tips thing" is another bait and switch. Those tipss have to be added on by the customer..not by the restaurant. And taxes are PAID, just treated as a deducted so it is an end of the year benefit not doing anything "now". Plus there are limits if partners both get tips.

Nevada tipped workers find 'no tax on tips' promise falls short under new legislation

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.
