Trump’s super PAC brought in over $100 million in the second half of 2025.

The co-founder of OpenAI and his wife gave $25 million.

One crypto company gave over $20 million.

Oligarchs broadly, and tech oligarchs specifically, are backing Trump to the hilt.

Q: Rodriguez called it a 'kidnapping' of Maduro

TRUMP: That's alright. That's not a bad term.

Trump: "We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. And Denmark is not gonna be able to do it ... the EU needs us to have it"

I've been busy with Life the past two days so somebody correct me if I'm wrong here but it seems like "Soldiers: don't follow illegal orders" became "Soldiers: Job Well Done on following illegal orders!" overnight
“held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops”

Why are the lives of illegally invading and murdering US troops more valuable than the lives of ordinary Venezuelans?

We are sure it’s just a coincidence, but today is the statuatory date for the DOJ to explain its redactions in the Epstein file productions.

We have not forgotten, and we won’t let up - regardless of the President’s new unconstitutional actions.

The thesis of the book is that early COVID lockdowns weren't worth it and mid-COVID mitigation measures like masks, contact tracing and business closures don't work.

This is laughably false and the authors have endorsed the people now running Trump's HHS.

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

The time to demand Bondi’s resignation or impeachment is NOW. Press them hard, put them on the defensive, and make this a key issue in the midterms.

It highlights everything wrong with the GOP — cult like loyalty to Trump, complete lawlessness, elite entitlement, etc.
#EpsteinCoverup is so blatantly hamfisted, it's political malpractice if Dems don't attack full bore: Impeach Bondi as the means to make it a defining issue next year in run-up to midterms.
Removing this obviously distributed-a-billion-times photo of Trump w/Melania, Epstein, & Maxwell from the DOJ release of files only points out the FBI team's foolish, slapdash attempt to cover up *any existence* of the adjudicated sexual assaulter FOTUS in them.

Uh oh
This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.

AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

They're so transparent they're removing photos of Donald Trump. And now I'm getting an "access denied" message when I go back to look.

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

This is why we rely on immune thresholds — yet again it’s community care. We all get vaccinated not just to protect ourselves but to protect the vulnerable around us.

But of course COVID taught us that community health is not a priority in this country.

If Greg Bovino does not go to prison for the rest of his life after this regime is ousted, we do not have a real country or rule of law. I'm skeptical we still have either at this point, but that will be a good indicator post Trump regime of whether we have serious people in charge again
