I think people have lost the will to try fact-check this guy due to the volume of lies he spreads.
Also it's actually pretty difficult with this image and quite time consuming.
It just happens I had nothing better to do. /1
The President just used his power to exempt himself and his family from audits on every tax return they've ever filed.
If that is not corruption to the highest degree, then what is?
Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.
@kinsellawarren It's possible that John Tory is in the running to be a senator, an ambassador, or some other appointment. He and Carney seem to be aligned politically.
Imagine being a pilot hunted through 18,000 foot mountains, struggling for breath, and your clown-ass President is tweeting fucking war crimes while his son is making money off gambling whether you’ll live or die on Polymarket.
Let me explain what happened after the press conference:
A Pentagon comms staffer pulls the clip and sends it to Hegseth and his chief of staff so they can forward it to White House comms and Susie Wiles with a note: “We just destroyed CNN!” — hoping it earns them a round of applause from the West Wing.
This 👇🏻 is what they live for. This is what drives the day, every day, in the Trump administration. In their ineptitude, moments like this feel like “controlling the message.”
The reality: it portrays an administration desperate to project control it clearly doesn’t have.
I try to not talk about politics. I generally believe the best way I can serve the world is as a non-partisan expert, and my genuine beliefs are quite moderate. So the bar is very high for me to comment.
But recent events – a federal agent killing an ICU nurse for seemingly no reason and with no provocation – shock the conscience.
My deep loyalty is to the principles of classical liberal democracy: freedom of speech, the rule of law, the dignity of the human person. I immigrated to the United States – and eventually cofounded Anthropic here – believing it was a pillar of these principles.
I feel very sad today.
Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage.

Maher Tarabishi, age 62, was taken by ICE last October when he exited his immigration check-in appointment in Texas. He was the primary caregiver for his 30 year old son Wael, who suffers from a chronic muscular condition called Pompe disease. His father provided 24 hour care for many years.
Wael died today, his family told me. Wael’s heath had been declining ever since his father’s detention. He never got to say goodbye to his father. Maher will never see his son again.
Maher came to the United States in 1994. He is not a criminal. He paid taxes. He raised a family. He was attending his immigration check ins reliably. Now that family is destroyed. For what?
If our government has any compassion, Maher Tarabishi should be released from detention now. He should be allowed to attend his son’s funeral. May Wael rest in peace.
Is this what America has become? Is this what we want America to be? Spread the word: #FreeMaherTarabishi
I know details aren’t your thing, @HHSGov, but check the date — I was not Governor in 2021. I inherited the official account of the Governor of Pennsylvania when I took office in 2023.
Hope this helps.
On 9/11, Canada was first to suggest NATO invoke Article 5 to defend our country. As U.S. Ambassador that day, I’ll forever be grateful that the Canadians and Europe had our back. How is it now in our interest to drive those same friends away?
