This is Luke Farritor. He is the 23 year old that fired all the staff in charge of our nuclear arsenal. Don't worry, though. He completed an internship with SpaceX, so I'm sure he is clearly qualified to determine whether our nuclear arms should be adequately staffed by qualified persons. 🤯🤯🤯

It’s no longer the House budget. It’s the Trump budget, now that Trump has endorsed it, and since the Administration hasn’t submitted its own budget. So we should call the House budget the Trump budget. And we can talk about Trump’s cuts to important programs and Trump’s broken campaign promises.

If protests keep getting larger, and they will, we’re quickly approaching the point at which Trump tells Hegseth to order the military to fire on protesters. Trump yearns for this. The question is if the soldiers under Hegseth will carry out these illegal orders. I don’t think the answer is clear.

Hate to break it to you, Senator, but Trump is not Neville Chamberlain. As misguided and naive as Chamberlain was, he was at least acting in good faith and in what he believed was the cause of peace. Trump is Joachim von Ribbentrop—or worse.

Greenland isn’t the eastern margin of T’s imperial goals. He intends to rule the UK. The culture war attack has begun in Scotland with Vance lies.
