My Galaxy phone has great quality Corning Gorilla glass, made to resist damage and scratches. What I need for the next generation phone, is one made for purposeful, repeated and agitated slamming on the table.

cool how Project 2025 went viral during the election, we were told Trump disavowed it and wouldn't do it, he got elected and started implementing it immediately and now we're being told "well this is what people voted for" they very explicitly did not

⚡️LATE-NIGHT PURGE: Under the cover of a Friday night Trump just fired 12 watchdogs who look out for fraud, waste, and abuse in government. The swamp has never been more full. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
