With Musk having said BEFORE the election that he will demand the US swap the gold in Fort Knox for his worthless crypto and a bill in the Senate to start that, this trip to Fort Knox is very dicey. Better have eyes on the Fort 24/7.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

AZ AG Kris Mayes: Let’s talk about that visual of Elon Musk with the ridiculous chainsaw. I don’t think he’s ever actually used a chainsaw in his life. I don’t know what that was—some lame attempt to make himself look manly.

For the last few nights, I’ve been asking Trump supporters on my TikTok live what’s he done for THEM *personally*. Not a single one has been able to answer that question. Not. One.

Do I need to remind Bernie Bros that Hillary had the votes for a massive Healthcare bill in 94 & there was an asshole Senator from Vermont that killed it?

Getting brigaded is a pain. I can block left and right, but it's tedious.

this is from a new report on a “third way” on DEI and it is unbelievably naive, which in my view is emblematic of the author, rich kahlenberg, whose willingness to extend good faith to obvious bad faith actors borders on gullibility www.progressivepolicy.org/a-way-out-of...

Six degrees #AT40 factoid: My steady, the fabulous Anna Garduno, is the daughter of the equally fabulous Barbara T., who was not only a Tom Jones dancer, but was the inspiration for the Grass Roots hit "Bella Linda," written by her stepfather and Steve Barri, who also wrote "Secret Agent Man."

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Next week, extreme Republicans will try to jam through a budget plan that would slash funding for AHCCCS in order to give billionaires another massive tax cut. It doesn’t lower costs for Arizonans. It doesn’t put our economy in a better position. It sure as hell doesn’t rein in federal spending.

It seems that, for many people on the far left, hatred of Democrats is their entire personality. Here, they justify supporting Trump on the basis that he's not Biden.

Scammers like to target seniors. This week, I held a seminar with finance, bank & fraud experts from Florida Bankers Association and local lenders to help older residents avoid greedy fraudsters. Protecting our seniors is always a top priority for me, at home and in Washington.
