The typical playbook of dictators across the world and throughout history: manufacture a supposed emergency so the dictator and their party can stay in power by avoiding free and fair elections. Trump is continuing to try to do this. This is what his ramble tonight was about.

I get that he violated the UCMJ. But why would CAPITOL POLICE arrest him? He was no threat to lawmakers, and they do NOT have jurisdiction to enforce UCMJ violations.

This is insane

🇺🇸🚨BREAKING: MAGA influencer Craig Long — “MAGA to the core,” 560K TikTok followers, photographed with Trump — was just arrested in a human trafficking sting.

He’s married.

He frequently posted videos praising the sheriff who just arrested him.

Sheriff Judd’s response at the press conference:

“Well, there you go. You got arrested in a human trafficking sting. Influence that for a while.”

Never stop connecting the dots.

Ireland will demand that Israeli authorities repay the cost of a school that was demolished by settlers in the occupied West Bank.

The Irish Aid-backed facility, which served around 60 children, was among the structures destroyed in a Bedouin community.

Israel destroyed the statue of Jesus Christ in the Christian village of Debel, South Lebanon.

Now they’re bulldozing the solar panels that provide electricity and water.

Not military targets.

Critical infrastructure.

This is the deliberate targeting of civilian life.

🚨BREAKING CBS NEWS: They are refusing to air a debate where Dean Withers destroyed a MAGA influencer.

$580,000,000 in oil futures moved 16 minutes before Trump announced a pause in Iran strikes.

Not after. Before.

The BBC just documented five separate instances of massive, suspiciously timed trades preceding Trump’s biggest market-moving announcements — oil futures, the tariff pause, Maduro’s capture, Iran ceasefire bets.

The platforms where anonymous accounts cashed in? Polymarket and Kalshi. Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket’s advisory board and is a strategic advisor to Kalshi.

There’s even a law against this. The STOCK Act (2012) explicitly covers executive branch officials. Zero prosecutions in 14 years.

Oh, and the DOJ unit created after Watergate to prosecute exactly this kind of corruption? Trump cut it from 36 lawyers to 2 and stripped its authority to file new cases.

Israeli settlers have blocked Palestinian children from reaching school in the occupied West Bank by erecting barbed wire to cut off their only safe path.

Students were forced to turn back or risk a more dangerous road near an Israeli settlement.

A 13-year-old girl captured the moment Israel began its assault on Beirut, running with her father to escape. On the first day of the US-Iran ceasefire, Israel said it struck over 100 sites in 10 minutes, killing hundreds.

Massive corruption exposed on ABC News. A UAE official bought a 500 million dollar secret stake in a Trump company right before getting access to guarded US AI chips. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche desperately tries to deflect. The White House is for sale.

An Israeli attack on ‌a marked media car in Lebanon has killed at ⁠least three Lebanese journalists.

One of the reporters who died had recently reported on the death of seven relatives in an attack on her family home. The Lebanese PM condemned the killings.

Melania Trump is chairing a UN Security Council meeting.

I'm not joking.

The US currently holds the presidency of the council and that's who Trump chose as chair.
