We can't get out of a mess if we don't realize what a mess we're actually in & how we got there. This mess is spreading further out *NOT* shrinking.
Trump is denying how bad this is & how much worse it's likely to get.
MAGA elected an incompetent imbecile #OperationClusterEff
Axios reports that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called President Trump twice Thursday and urged the U.S. to launch strikes against the Houthis as the group advanced toward the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Trump declined, and U.S. officials said the administration currently has no plans for direct military action against the Houthis.
The request marks a shift from July, when Riyadh told Washington it could handle the Houthi threat itself and Trump backed Saudi military action. Since then, the conflict has expanded, with the Houthis capturing the Red Sea port of Mokha and advancing toward the Bab al-Mandeb.
Axios reports the U.S. is instead increasing intelligence and targeting support to Saudi Arabia. About 200 U.S. personnel are reportedly providing nonkinetic support, while CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper traveled to Saudi Arabia for urgent coordination talks.
The administration is seeking to keep the Red Sea open without adding another front to a U.S. military effort already heavily focused on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

“They didn't really draft the Constitution with the expectation that an informed electorate would elect somebody like Trump, a malignant narcissist, convicted felon, rapist, and somebody who was really out to feather his own nest and pursue all these vanity projects.”
“I think that people need to recognize that when the founders created the Constitution, they expected that Congress diligently would work to control a president who was either not up to the task or, in this case, evil,” said Cobb. (Cont'd)
Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb: Trump is an evil, malignant narcissist, convicted felon, rapist.
Capehart: I just have to stop you. You just called the president a rapist. He has not been convicted of rape.
Cobb: A federal judge who oversaw the E. Jean Carroll trial said he was guilty of rape.
Capehart: No, no. Sexual assault.
Cobb: No. You’re wrong.

I have just spoken with the U.S. President’s envoys. They have already begun working with the Russian side today. From the moment of this conversation, we are ready to observe a ceasefire in airstrikes against the cities involved in the negotiation process. From now through the end of Saturday, as well as on Sunday and Monday, Ukraine is ready to refrain from strikes on Moscow, and we expect the Russians to do the same regarding Kyiv.
Today, I also received reports from Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi on the situation at the front, the dynamics of threats in Ukraine’s airspace, our steps, and active defensive operations. I am grateful to every one of our warriors for effectively defending Ukraine’s positions.
On the diplomatic track, our actions must be, and will be, just as strong and effective – one hundred percent. The plan for tomorrow’s diplomatic engagements in Kyiv, involving the U.S. team, has been approved. We are waiting for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and are ready for a substantive conversation. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!
Is Journalists' integrity paramount in order for the 1st Amendment to our U.S. Constitution to remain effective?
Firing this journalist seems like a good thing. She violated her contract & most importantly she TAINTED JOURNALISM overall. In this case maybe let's set an example!
BREAKING: Fox News reportedly FIRED Maria Bartiromo after she leaked confidential internal messages to the Trump White House.
According to Status, Fox executives had instructed staff not to amplify Trump’s latest debunked 2020 election conspiracy theories. Bartiromo allegedly forwarded that guidance directly to the White House—violating her employment agreement.
She apparently viewed herself as a Trump informant first and a journalist second.
Moving this temporarily or permanently??
We wonder if Trump will be building another #FoolsGoldPlated whorehouse or phallic "monument" that he'll just slap his #TackyTrumpLogo on?
WTF!!!
Trump is now having the “Blue” sculpture by Joel Shapiro dismantled at the Kennedy Center.
He gave no public explanation why.
- Installed in 2019 at the Kennedy Center’s REACH expansion.
- Made from painted aluminum.
- Approximately 24 feet tall.
- Designed to resemble an abstract human figure balancing, kicking or dancing.
- Donated by Shapiro himself.
EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has told close friends and associates that he is considering a run for president in 2028, according to two people familiar with the conversations. https://t.co/WRrJtIOYEl
The US Navy is working to rename an aircraft carrier under construction that was set to honor a Black sailor hailed for his heroic actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor, and there have been internal conversations about renaming it to honor President Donald Trump, sources say.
The Navy is looking instead to rename another warship after Doris Miller, according to one of the sources, and is recommending him for the Medal of Honor, the highest decoration for military valor. https://t.co/AdmEwMJyYd
Sadly/ pathetically "they" are considering to rename an aircraft carrier after a COWARD DRAFT DODGER who alleged he had BONE SPURS vs being drafted to serve in the Vietnam War!
#USSBoneSpurs vs #USSDorisMiller
Which name represents honor, bravery, valor?

ANYONE thinking Trump has any #ReciprocalLoyalty chips in his brain are fools. Trump has REPEATEDLY thrown loyal ppl under the bus & turned his back on them. It's ALWAYS a #OneWayStreet w Trump. He's "transactional" as long as he profits the most. Why does anyone still trust him?
Karoline Leavitt announced her resignation 24 hours after she found out that Trump left her for dead on a plane he thought could be shot out of the sky.
@Martina PLEASE don't undermine your valuable & positive influence with out-of-context "facts". You're risking us ignoring u if u don't do ur due diligence before posting. Let's be accurate, OK?

Donald Trump is coming to California for the first time in 18 months — not to deliver the federal disaster aid Los Angeles wildfire survivors have been waiting for, but to raise money for himself and attack California with the same tired falsehoods.
Want to talk about crime? Since Governor Gavin Newsom took office, crime has fallen across EVERY major category: homicides are down 20% (the lowest rate since 1966), robberies are down 31%, property crime is down 24%, motor vehicle theft is down 19%, and violent crime is down 3%.

Want to talk about fraud? California has been rooting out fraud and holding bad actors accountable for years — not pardoning them. See for yourself: https://t.co/nx5AkOizUc.
Want to talk about taxes? Working families pay less HERE than states like Texas and Florida. And Californians are paying more at the pump because of Trump’s war with Iran, which drove up the cost of gas and groceries for working families across the country.

More than anything, we’d like the President to keep the promise he made on January 24, 2025: to “take care of Los Angeles.”
18 months later, survivors are still waiting.
And while you’re here, Mr. President, welcome to the world’s fourth-largest economy — growing faster than Texas and Florida combined. Enjoy your stay.
Are these just "sticky note" concessions that'll push Blanche over the finish line; but once he's confirmed will these "sticky notes" just fly into the trash? His pattern & MO is putting Trump's personal interests above the law 🤔
He's still acting like Trump's personal attorney
Does it prevent future corruption by Trump, his family & his friends? What restrictions are in place to ensure Trump won't put pressure on Blanche to allow other things to be put in place of these current conflicts of interest or misdealings/misuses that're as bad or worse?
BREAKING: Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issues order terminating U.S. President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' to compensate supporters after weeks of negotiations with two GOP senators who were blocking his nomination. https://t.co/iVS2aYIj4L
Where's the nationwide *APOLOGY* from @RobertKennedyJr for demolishing public health surveillance programs like CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet)?
