.@SecretaryBurgum slams California's insane energy policies while touring the Sable pipeline in Santa Barbara: California has a policy of turning themselves into an energy desert, raising prices, lowering national security. We're here today because @POTUS wants every American to have affordable, and secure energy prices.
82 years ago today, eight American sailors jumped onto a sinking Nazi submarine in the middle of the Atlantic.
What they pulled out of it changed the war. And the Navy buried the whole story for years.
First, you need to know that U-505 was already cursed. German sailors called her the unluckiest boat in the fleet. In October 1943, during a brutal British depth-charge attack, her own captain shot himself in the head in the control room, in front of his crew. He remains the only submarine commander in history known to have killed himself underwater in combat. His second-in-command calmly took over, rode out the attack, and sailed her home.
Eight months later, her luck ran out completely.
June 4, 1944. Two days before D-Day. Captain Daniel Gallery's hunter-killer group, built around the escort carrier USS Guadalcanal, had been stalking U-boats off West Africa. Gallery had an idea his superiors considered borderline insane: don't sink the next one. Capture it. No US Navy crew had boarded and taken an enemy warship on the high seas since 1815.
The destroyer escort USS Chatelain caught U-505 on sonar and fired a salvo of hedgehog bombs. The U-boat broke the surface 700 yards away. Gunfire raked the conning tower, wounding her captain. He gave the order to abandon ship.
The Germans rushed out so fast they botched the scuttling. The sub was flooding, but her engines were still running. She was circling the battle at six knots, empty, sinking, and very possibly rigged with demolition charges.
So Lt. Albert David and eight men from USS Pillsbury chased her down in a whaleboat, leaped aboard, and climbed down the hatch into a dark, flooding submarine that could explode or go under at any second. They shut the scuttling valves, disarmed the charges, and stopped the flooding.
Down there they found the prize: Enigma cipher machines and roughly 900 pounds of codebooks and charts. Current settings. The keys to the German navy's secret communications.
But here's the catch. The treasure was only valuable if Germany never found out. One leak and Berlin changes every code overnight.
So the Navy ran one of the great cover-ups of the war. The sub was towed 1,700 miles to Bermuda and given a fake American name: USS Nemo. Around 3,000 sailors were sworn to total silence. The 58 captured German crewmen vanished into a POW camp in rural Louisiana, hidden even from the Red Cross. Germany declared U-505 lost with all hands and notified the families. The dead men were alive in Louisiana, and their boat was working for the US Navy.
The secret held until the war ended.
Lt. David received the Medal of Honor, the only one awarded in the Atlantic Fleet in all of WWII.
And the submarine? In 1954, Chicagoans raised $250,000 to bring her home. She was towed across Lake Michigan and dragged through the streets of Chicago to the Museum of Science and Industry.
She's still sitting there right now. You can walk through her.
American exceptionalism is BACK! During tonight’s @HASCRepublicans NDAA markup, my amendment to RESTORE the name and legacy of the Department of War passed.
Proud to deliver on this priority and advance policies that put America First!!
Texas A&M outfielder @CadenSorrell was selected as co-District VII Player of the Year by the @NCBWA 👍
As a junior in 2026, Sorrell slashed .341/.434/.743 with 23 home runs and 20 doubles, becoming the first 20-20 player at A&M since 1999 ⚾️
This is Margaret Swan, a great-grandmother stabbed to death 20 TIMES in a random attack in the middle of the day on Atlanta’s public transit. Her murder was the second horrific attack on MARTA in a week.
I want ANSWERS from Atlanta. The number of assaults, robberies, and rapes on MARTA’s trains is MORE THAN THREE TIMES the national average.
MARTA has 15 DAYS from today to provide:
- Security spending
- Safety plans for riders and workers
- Detailed action strategy to prevent crime and fare evasion
Margaret’s family DESERVES ACCOUNTABILITY. No one should be forced to fear for their safety on public transit.

"Slaves owned by the pharaoh of Egypt were required to pay him 20% of their income."
"Fast forward to 2025. The average U.S. taxpayer pays 24.8% tax."
"On top of this, you pay sales tax, property tax, gas tax, and many other taxes."
"The slaves in Egypt were doing better than we're being taxed."
"Wake up, America. You're being robbed, you're being cheated, and you're being lied to."
When I finished casting my ballot in the LA mayoral primary on Tuesday, the Dominion machine asked whether I wanted to review my ballot in case I had changed my mind about any of the candidates.
I selected—Yes.
Guess who came up first? Spencer Pratt.
The machine asked if I had changed my mind, and I selected—No.
Then guess what?
It didn’t even bother asking me about the other candidates or ballot measures. It simply said, “Your ballot is complete.”
Basically: Thanks, now fuck off.
The whole fucking thing is rigged.
In other words, a communist freedom fighter who basically burned L.A. to the ground and had no water to put it out wins the primary.
PROOF OF CHEATING IN CALIFORNIA.
Notice that Karen Bass and Nithya Raman each increased by about 10,000 votes, but Spencer Pratts number stayed the EXACT SAME.
So, in over 20K votes cast, Spencer didn't get ONE.
This is IMPOSSIBLE.
The fix is surely in.
There are now widespread reports of California changing the amount of mail in ballots coming in and percentages
Remember this exact same thing happened to favor Adam Schiff, we all watched California Democrats flip votes for him in real time
Adam Schiff’s opponents votes DISAPPEARED and Schiff claimed victory
Steve Garvey was leading Adam Schiff with 1.8 million votes. And just like that, it was cut in half.
This is called the Glitch Switch. Adam Schiff got more votes in the end by a razor-thin margin.
Almost statistically impossible
Adam Schiff- 1,247,723– 33.2%
Steve Garvey- 1,220,683- 32.5%
California Elections are the most corrupt in the country
- Democrats control the voting machines
- Democrats control the voting machine algorithms
- Democrats made checking ID to vote ILLEGAL in California
- Democrats keep counting for as many weeks as they need to until they win in California
California Will never stop rigging elections because why would they? There is no punishment for anyone involved
Unbelievable but this kind of election fraud is common place in California!
When will the @DOJ or anyone do something about this?
We know it won’t be California! Greasy Gav just signed into law that you can’t report on fraud concerning elections, right?😏Disgusting! 😠@POTUS
I’m about to offer the House-passed version of the SAVE America Act on the Senate floor in connection with tonight’s vote-a-rama
This one should get at least 51 votes
Will keep you posted
MARC ANDREESSEN: "We had meetings with the Biden admin where they told us to not even start AI companies because there's no way they'll let them succeed."
JOE ROGAN: "What do you do after a meeting like that?"
MARC ANDREESSEN: "You go endorse Donald Trump."
LMAO
It is a big priority for the Trump Admin to restore the Florida Everglades, a key environmental and economic treasure in the state: Delivering 120 billion gallons of clean freshwater each year to the Everglades, bolstering the aquifer and drinking water, combatting harmful algae blooms, and protecting threatened and endangered species.
Richard Cunningham didn’t just defraud lenders, he fabricated federal voucher documents, forged signatures, and invented a veterans housing program that never existed, all to line his own pockets. Exploiting the name and sacrifice of American veterans to commit fraud is particularly offensive, and my office will pursue those abuses with the full weight of federal law.
