This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms.

It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.
This is gibberish

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

Pretty sure he’s talking about himself when he says “grossly incompetent.”
Q: "Gavin Newsom is daring Tom Homan to come arrest him. Should he do it?"

Trump: "I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great."

Opinion | The economy. The Constitution. Is there anything Trump won’t destroy?

Three online "news" stories published this week that include quotes from me that I didn't say. But I didn't do interviews and get misquoted. And they're not written by actual journalists.

My best guess is there are massive amounts of AI slop getting posted as news and now I'm part of it. 😬
