COLLINS: People are saying you posted the jobs data early when you're not supposed to share it until the next morning

TRUMP: I said post them whenever you get a chance. I don't know. They gave me some numbers. When people give me things, I post them.

Results from the state of Minnesota for last three US presidential elections. Also "*nobody* has won?" He no longer even considers Democrats people?

Excellent! Trump can use that $360B to pay off America's $38T debt, plus his $500B increase in military budget, and give every Americans a $2k "dividend", plus lower income taxes! Genius! #Math
Total tariff costs inched up to a record high in data released today as well, reaching roughly $360B annualized, up from $80B this time last year

Typical of Trump regime: Tear it down quickly, before anyone can question or stop it, and then later muddle through figuring out what to build in its place. Holds true for healthcare systems, international alliances...
In response to criticism that the White House will look unbalanced with a supersized East Wing, Trump and his architect have a new idea: expand the West Wing too www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

US collected ~$300B in tariff revenue in 2025.

So far, Trump has pledged this money to pay:
* a big chunk of US $38T debt
* a $2000 dividend to each American (~$400B)
* $1776 to each member of military (~$2.7B)
* $12B to farmers
* $500B increase in military budget.
AND replace income tax ($2.4T)! 🤔

Well, looks like we're gonna find out if this is true.

So... when right-wing Americans chanted for decades about needing guns to protect against government tyranny, what they really meant was wanting to amass guns so they could enact tyranny.

Gee, who could have seen this coming? 🤦 😢

Serious question: has the sharp increase in testosterone replacement therapy among American men contributed to the crazy aggressive behaviour seen in GOP political leadership and elsewhere?

All these conservatives raging against trans, yet themselves 'roided up, starting global wars.
Testosterone replacement therapy is rising in popularity. What is it and what are there risks?
Testosterone replacement therapy, also known as TRT, has surged in popularity, but there are potential risks. Here's what to know.

Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.
Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

Trump has no interest in promoting and protecting democracy in Venezuela, Ukraine, the USA, or anywhere else.

He desires compliant puppet regimes that will pay fealty and submit to his will. (1/2)
Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

Sept 1 1939: The Führer announces that Poland is a clear danger to the nation, and that "In order to put an end to this lunacy I have no other choice than to meet force with force. Since 5:45 a.m. we have been returning fire, and from now on bombs will be met by bombs."

Sure, America deserves reimbursements because 50 years ago Venezuela nationalized US-owned oil assets. But don't talk to me about reparations for slavery! That's woke nonsense!
Trump says Venezuela's oil wealth "goes also to the United States of America in the form of reimbursement for the damages caused us by that country"

Trump has an addict's personality, just as Wiles told Vanity Fair. He's addicted to public displays of power or dominance. He can't get enough. As soon as he gets some, he gets bored and needs a new, a larger dose.
Q: You said the US is going to run Venezuela. So who's in power right now?

TRUMP: Well, we're gonna be running it with a group. We're gonna make sure it's run properly. We're gonna rebuild the oil infrastructure which will cost billions of dollars.

This kind of unprovoked aerial bombardment really makes one question the integrity of the FIFA Peace Prize.
Video rolling in of pretty massive airstrikes across Venezuela, plus low-flying helicopters which *appear* to be American.

He was just joking about prosecuting his enemies – until he did it. He was just joking about renaming the Kennedy Centre – until he did it. When he muses about attempting to stay for a third term – believe him. Killing democracy by a 1000 small cuts.
Breaking news: The board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has voted to rename the storied arts institution the “Trump-Kennedy Center,” according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Kennedy Center board votes to rename ‘Trump-Kennedy Center’
Kennedy Center trustees, installed earlier this year by President Trump, have voted to rename the center after him, said Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Trump regime sold or gave this data to Palantir to spy on everyone, extracting further data to sell for commercial profit.
