@SaageMartini@SpencerHakimian Those are officially the stupidest looking pants I’ve ever seen, including ones intended for comic effect. Keep wearing them!
Reporter: Are you attending your son’s wedding?
Trump: He’d like me to go. I’m going to try. I said, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.
The Trump administration is repealing a rule that prevents power plants from releasing hundreds of millions of gallons of toxic mercury and arsenic into drinking water.
CNN’s @KFILE reveals the man leading the hantavirus response in the U.S. is a specialist in penile implants with little public health experience and hosted a podcast called “Erection Connection.”
Almost no one I encounter IRL (outside of my close circle) has heard anything about “president” Trump being credibly accused of r*ping a minor. Total failure of the press. #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp#TrumpCrimeFamily
Trump bought COREWEAVE bonds before they got bailed out by NVIDIA—whose CEO went on the trip to China.
Trump bought BOEING bonds just before Scott Bessent announces an order of jets by China. Boeing’s CEO was also there.
I cannot even believe what I’m seeing here. Even for him.
The State Department fired 200 experienced U.S. Foreign Service Officers today. No Administration has been more dismissive of our nonpartisan career diplomats. Shameful.
Katy Faust, a Seattle-based Christian activist, has quietly gained prominence as a national leader in a conservative campaign to undo legal same-sex marriages. https://t.co/DtPBUdcO9w
🚨 Marjorie Taylor Greene just confirmed what many of us have suspected.
The eight-week government shutdown was orchestrated by Trump to prevent the release of the Epstein files.
MTG said it.
Not a journalist. Not a Democrat.
His own ally.
The same files Pam Bondi is in contempt of Congress for hiding.
The same files the DOJ inspector general is now investigating.
The same files the war was started to bury.
It was never about the budget.
Never stop connecting the dots.
Trump blocks visas for Costa Rica's leading newspaper because it broke a sexual abuse scandal involving the country's current president, who is a Trump ally. https://t.co/sij578FiDA
In July, the White House said the new ballroom would cost $200 million. Privately funded. Not a dollar from taxpayers.
October: $300 million. December: $400 million.
This Monday, Senate Republicans tucked $1 billion in taxpayer money for the ballroom into a $72 billion ICE and CBP reconciliation bill.
Here is what my investigation found🧵
@allenanalysis@ExpertsRock I’m surprised he didn’t make them sit through a virtual reality simulation of the fate he supposedly saved them from. He’s so disgusting. How many of the girls did he hit on?
