Everyone knows Trump doesn’t read, but this is bonkers… Tulsi Gabbard is considering bringing in a Fox News producer to turn Trump’s daily intel briefings into Fox-style broadcasts to compensate. NOTE: Trump’s only taken 14 briefings as of May. Biden took 90. Obama took 63 in the same time frame.

Americans better be paying attention to this. This literally has nothing to do with immigration, but rather tracking all Americans to control us under a fascist regime. This is not hyperbole. Protect the Immigrants & you will be protecting yourselves & loved ones. #ProudBlue #OneV1

A big win! A panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit just blocked the Trump administration’s push to move forward with massive layoffs. The court denied the government’s request to overturn a lower court ruling, meaning the layoffs can’t happen, for now.

📌Our damn media needs to stop treating this Trump-Musk alleged breakup like some game. These slobbery ghouls are battering the lives of innocent people. 📌And if you're collecting social security (or hope to) you might want to read what a high-ranking official in SSA said is going on right now ...

Joni Ernst is a POS: "Illegals" don't get Medicaid benefits. Medicaid is not money mailed to people. Medicaid PAYS health bills. My mom's memory care was paid for by Medicaid. And it's HARD as HELL to qualify. Undocumented people sometimes pay IN thru taxes. They do NOT get friggin' benefits. Bitch.

The reason they’re going to stop publishing is because they know whatever they did would be idiotic junk science and panned worldwide for its stupidity and ignorance. Only in this country are people dumb enough to listen to that dangerous pos…
