He's right.🤷‍♀️

Fuck, Noem!

But we are slapping Canada with tariffs because like 75 points of FENTANYL got confiscated from people trying to go to America. Got it?

There's always a tweet.

They’re eating the cats! They’re eating the dogs!

Trump lifts sanctions on Syria after offer of a Trump Tower in Damascus, praises MBS, salutes Saudi generals, and defends a Qatari jet gift—while banning press from Air Force One. GOP splits over drugs, jets, SALT, and Social Security. Catch up:

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.

Senator Chuck Schumer says he is placing a hold on all of Donald Trump's DOJ nominees as a result of the $400 million jet from Qatar. Perhaps Chuck should have done this with every single one of Donald’s unfit nominees from the beginning. It’s time for him to step aside for new Senate leadership.

BREAKING: Trump is literally working with a Terrorist because he was promised a Trump Tower in Syria… I’m so sick of this traitor. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Hi, I’m God. I think good people should unite for a month long general strike. Love, God

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Trump is having a hard time keeping his eyes open in Saudi Arabia

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray to be seen by others.” - Matthew 6:5

It’s very strange that this article on the staffing issues at Newark Airport doesn’t mention the fact that DOGE fired 400 FAA employees a few months ago, and union officials warned about exactly these kinds of shortages.

help us, e. coli, you’re our only hope

This sums it up.

If it seems like the federal agents caught in the middle of chaotic immigration-related arrests don't know what they're doing, that could be because that type of work is not what they are trained to do.

What if a South African is mixed race? Can they come too or do you have to be 100% white?

Trump, who is set to accept a $400M floating palace airplane from Qatar, tweeted this about Obama in 2012:

Don’t worry — now you’ll only have to spend $50 to $150 extra in taxes, per child, for holiday gifts While Trump got a $400 million holiday gift early from Qatar Because he matters way more than your kids — right?

Accepting a private jumbo-jet from a foreign nation is a clear violation of our Constitution, which plainly prohibits U.S. officials from accepting gifts from foreign governments.

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

Can you imagine the heads exploding if Obama accepted a item worth $400,000,000 for his presidential library in Chicago? .... and Obama isn't even the current president.

Not that this needs to be said, but bribery out in the open is still bribery.

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

We should be ashamed of ourselves for not appreciating him breaking the law. ✈️ 💰 🙏

Trump Claims Eleven Car Factories Are Being Built: They Are Not https://twp.ai/4inf0K

Aaaand there it is.

Is getting a $400 million private jet gifted to himself from Qatar the result of one of his Tariff 'deals' we keep hearing about?

Taking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.

Merrick Garland is proof that accountability can die of natural causes.

So many layers of corruption.

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

Seeing a lot of AI slop“art” offline now. Company logos and signage, posters in coffee shops, kids clothes, kids books. Stuff that would cost $200 to hire a graphic designer to do 100x better

ART OF THE FOLD........

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

“And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust…shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” — what was once the Constitution of the United States, Article One, Section 9

This video is making the rounds again for a reason. A great example of how you make your voices heard—without saying a word. Power in numbers and it sends a clear message. This is what democracy looks like: standing up to fascism, tyranny, and racism. This is the way!

I made 38K my first year teaching in Arkansas. I held a BA. I made 41K in Missouri after 16 years of teaching. I held an MA. See the problem?

This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.

Roger Stone called for me to be charged with treason and executed because I introduced a bill to take on Trump’s corruption. Last I checked, that’s my job. Words matter and political violence is personal to my family. This Admin wants to intimidate us, but we can't let them.
