Brooke Rollins: "It is just incredible how focused and just supportive of our farmers and ranchers this president is. Specific to soybeans, but not just soybeans -- sorghum, cotton, corn, wheat -- they are in this moment of uncertainty because China is not living up to the 2019 deal."

“government bars you from leaving country due to your speech while you are receiving death threats from regime loyalists”

granted, i don’t have much experience here, but aren’t most 79 year old americans pretty good at getting angry about an AI slop video they saw on their phone while wearing a diaper?

Rollins: "We had an amazing cabinet meeting. President Trump walked in before the cameras were there. We all stood up & gave him a two minute standing ovation. There's so much love in that room & respect & just appreciation for him. No one could do what that man is doing today. So I was so grateful"

is the weirdest thing about this that Trump went to war on Tylenol without trying to extort a bribe to prevent his jihad first?

9th Circuit Judge Ryan Nelson argued so vehemently Thursday that President Trump has the power to deploy the National Guard into unwilling states on very little pretext that one suspects the arguments were doubling as his Supreme Court audition.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

having worked in supply chain tech, they are absolutely dumb as shit about supply chain

but, i also think they’ve gotten fervent in their belief that AI will get them to the autonomous killer robots they want/need for their post-apocalypse rape bunkers

It's pretty incredible how the self appointed masters of the world in Silicon Valley don't understand a fucking thing about supply chains and how they add costs to everything they touch and cannot be replaced with a robot parrot that lies to you

ANDREESSEN: Even if AI ends up destroying all the jobs, “the result would be hyper-deflation of prices, which is the thing that people miss. .. Things that today cost a lot of money will all of a sudden be cheap or free.”

Greene is doing something that Dems should want to emulate: intentionally pitting Trump against his most vile subordinates.

Example: Trump wants a budget deal? We'd love to, but we can't trust that you'll keep your word with Vought and Miller driving the bus. Fire them.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on polls showing Republicans are getting blamed for the shutdown: "I'm not putting the blame on the president. I'm actually putting the the blame on the Speaker and Leader Thune in the Senate. This should not be happening ... we control the House & Senate & have the WH."

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public."

Attorney General Bondi recently threatened to put me in jail. Now, the President has threatened to put the Illinois governor and Chicago mayor in jail.

This is about as authoritarian as it gets.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.
