Raskin: "Trump is suing CBS for $20b in damages because, check this out, he believes an interview with Kamala Harris produced too favorable an impression of her. That means I could sue Fox News because I think their interview with Trump produce too favorable an impression. I mean, this is lunacy."

Really strange watching the American government become hostile to Canada, western Europe, and Mexico in order to cozy up to the dictatorships of eastern Europe. Do Americans even know this is happening? Do they have any idea what this means for their lives?

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Raskin: "Yesterday, Donald Trump banned the Associated Press, a 179-year-old newspaper organization, from the White House because it declines to call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." This is straight up press censorship based on retaliatory viewpoint discrimination."

Liberals need to understand if you're making $25,000 a year or less and your rent is $1700 a month that's $20,000 going towards having a roof your head. Leaving $104 per week to spend on everything else else you need like food. Making 1/4 functionally poor Source: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Every single Senate Democrat stood against the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence. Trump wants to trust our most classified secrets to someone who echoes Russian propaganda, sympathized with Putin and Assad, and falls for conspiracy theories.

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.
