Trump promised every American a $2,000 tariff check, a $5,000 DOGE check, 10% APR on credit cards, $2 gas, a “privately funded” ballroom, and medications that were supposedly 1500% cheaper.
Instead, we got a $1.776 billion slush fund to pay people who beat up cops and smeared shit on the walls of the US Capitol.
The fact that trump is going after Thomas Massie because of… the Epstein files (that trump himself promised to release in the campaign) and that the GOP is likely to go along with him, is astounding
So proud of my son whose short film, “A Hand On The Burner” premiered last week at the Unspooled Film Festival in Menomonie, WI — and is now posted on YouTube. The kid is so much more creative than his old man. https://t.co/VOqcHlufOu
Alligator Alcatraz is closing after one year and wasting $1B to house 1400 immigrants. That's an eye-popping $714,285 per occupant. Everything this administration does is filled with fraud and waste. https://t.co/3DoG1YTjTh
“Wars are being waged, the markets are being manipulated, and the average American is being driven further into ruin while the Epstein class reigns and has yet to face any accountability.”
MTG nails it
There were only 4 of us, Republicans, that signed the discharge petition to force the vote to release the Epstein files.
Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, and myself.
Trump has come after us one by one ever since then.
The President told Speaker Johnson not to allow the vote to happen, but we courageously went against the President and refused to budge and overrode the Speaker to force the vote on record.
It was only when all Members of Congress had to vote on record did Republicans finally find their intestinal fortitude to do the right thing and vote YES to release the files.
Until then, they were absurdly obedient to the President who was doing everything in his reign of terror to hold them back.
Even now, all the files are still not released, and the Epstein class remains protected.
Wars are being waged, the markets are being manipulated, and the average American is being driven further into ruin while the Epstein class reigns and has yet to face any accountability.
I will never regret signing that discharge petition, refusing to back down, and resigning as I want nothing to do with a President and a Party that bows to the Epstein class.
The sentence that should not be forgettable: Vought said he prepared Trump's executive actions so the president would not have to think about "whether something is legal or doable or moral."
That is not a staffer describing efficient workflow. That is the architect of the second Trump administration describing his function as the removal of legal and ethical friction before the president encountered it.
He was not hired to consider whether actions were legal. He was hired to make sure Trump never had to ask.
ProPublica got the recordings. That is what the recordings say.
The president purchasing Nvidia shares a week before his own Commerce Department allows them to sell one of our most valuable assets to our main geopolitical opponent is unfathomably more corrupt than anything on Hilary Clinton's email server.
Outright lies.
Trump's assets aren't in a blind trust, and he bought and sold individual Nvidia stock in 15 separate transactions totaling millions of dollars.
That's what Trump's financial disclosure - which has his signature - says.

“We have to have sympathy. We need to at least let them engage in some stock trading so they can continue to take care of their family.”
Americans are tired of watching corruption dressed up as virtue.
Q: Did you talk to Xi about the cyber attacks that he's done in the United States?
TRUMP: I did. And he talked about attacks we did in China. You know, what they do, we do too. We spy like hell on them too. I told him, 'we do a lot of stuff to you that that you don't know about.'
After a stunning rise, Stephen Miller has seen his influence quietly diminished in the White House, insiders tell @michaelscherer and @NickMiroff. https://t.co/3ev65czWvW
NEW story on Wemby’s ejection:
“I’m glad he took matters into his own hands.”
Victor Wembanyama was tired of the rampant roughhousing and wanted to make a point. Mitch Johnson wanted him to make that point, just not that far. It came at the cost of his first career ejection and the series lead.
After having the greatest moment of his career, this was a low point. But this is why his coach and teammates found it necessary. Can they mitigate the damage?
