Wow, Hilton, you just blew the greatest public relations coup and bout of goodwill and relevance your brand could've ever hoped to score. You've chosen to stand against your own employees on the wrong side of history. I'll never understand why corporations make such dumb moves. Read the room.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

Kelly: This letter or anything that Hegseth says or does to me is in no way going to affect the way I do my job. His option is he can continue with this kind of bullshit or he can go take a hike. That's his options.

This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

This can’t be true because Trump said tariffs were going to pay for everything and we were all going to get $2,000 checks with the money left over.

Republicans spent much of Jack Smith's deposition asking him about subpoenas targeted toll records. They asked no question about subpoenas targeting Trump's fraudulent grift.

Go Hilton!!!!
“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

Many Venezuelan-Americans were initially euphoric thinking Trump was liberating Venezuela from Maduro. Now, especially with Trump unceremoniously kicking Machado to the curb, they realize he only intended to liberate them from their assets and resources.
