I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House. You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration. Let me repeat that. You actions are in direct opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

Do you get it now? The "fairness in sports" is the Trojan horse that leads to worse things, like the "we're only deporting gang members", and "we're leaving abortion up to the states". People need to stop looking for middle ground with monsters. They are after your rights.

The Supreme Court has paused the court order to have Kilmer Garcia returned to Maryland. It would be a shame if the public knew that it was Chief Justice Roberts that made the call. 👀 👀 BRING KILMAR HOME!!!!

Remember how Mark Zuckerberg started cozying up to Trump as Meta donated $1 million to his inauguration? Well now Zuckerberg is trying to cash in — reportedly lobbying Trump to settle the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta. This is why you always follow the money.

So Leland Dudek, who’s the acting Social Security Commissioner, said he’s consulting with the DOJ about shutting down the agency. He stated in an interview, “Unless I get clarification, I’ll just start to shut it down. I don’t have much of a choice here.” #SocialSecurity

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts. The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

The Social Security Administration is cutting 7,000 jobs and closing half of its regional offices. It's no coincidence that Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." They're gutting the program YOU'VE PAID INTO to make room for more billionaire tax cuts. Now is the time to speak up.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
