Oh, you voted for Trump? Fantastic. MAGA now owns the House, Senate, and Oval Office. No more excuses. No blaming Biden, Kamala, Obama, or Hillary. Every that happens next is on you. You wanted control—now you’ve got it. So don’t cry when it backfires. You bought the ticket. Now take the ride.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve edited a friend’s writing and found that the only semblance of a logical progression was a heaping pile of transition words. If your argument doesn’t make sense without them, you might need to rework it.
