Welcome to America’s new nuclear family: three marriages, multiple affairs, got wife #3 pregnant while still married to wife #2, and paid $50,000 to settle a sexual assault.
Here's the full chain of events that led to Trump storming out of his interview with Kristin Welker, beginning with her pressing him on the weaponization fund, continuing with her pointing out the baselessness of his "rigged election" lies, and concluding with him calling her "crooked or stupid" and leaving
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

This is the type of shit that needs no words to troll itself.
This is actually real… he’s really posting infomercials plugging this…
Using America’s 250th Anniversary too…
More like… “As my dad tanks the economy as fast as he can, nothing is more patriotic than getting your hands on some Don Jr Gold to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary in case it’s our last”
This is SNL material or even better #smokefleet material
I was never in my life paid by a foreign government. Never. Meanwhile Jared Kushner is being paid tens and tens of millions of dollars directly from Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar. He has taken in over $6B into his fund all while he acts as the chief US negotiator for the war in Iran with those very same countries. If you want to know who someone is working for look WH they are being paid by. I was never paid a cent from a foreign government and when my Dad was President I did ZERO business outside painting and I never made more than $225k in a year from the sale of my paintings.
Florida paid a portable toilet company called Doodie Calls more than $92 million over six months to haul wastewater out of the Everglades. The state projected it would pay Doodie Calls $480 million over two years. For comparison, building a sewage treatment plant for a city of 10,000 people costs about $5 million.
That is one vendor. At one facility. Built in eight days on an Everglades airstrip using hurricane disaster funds because Ron DeSantis declared immigration a state of emergency in 2023 to access a $5 billion fund set aside for floods and hurricanes.
The facility costs between $1.2 million and $3 million per day to operate. A conservative estimate puts the annual per-capita cost at $500,000 per detainee. Florida spends $30,000 a year to house a convicted criminal in a state prison. The math on Alligator Alcatraz is not tougher than a prison. It is more than sixteen times more expensive.
Three quarters of the men held there have never been convicted of a crime. They are awaiting civil immigration proceedings. They are being held in kennels - cages with steel mesh sides, 16 bunks, three toilets, brightly lit 24 hours a day. Amnesty International documented what it called deliberate neglect designed to dehumanize, including credible allegations of men held in stress positions in direct sunlight without food or water for hours at a time.
Governor Braun opened the Speedway Slammer at an Indiana prison. The Cornhusker Clink in Nebraska. The Louisiana Lockup at Angola. The naming contest is ongoing. The cruelty is the point. The cost is someone else's problem. Florida's emergency fund has dwindled to $200 million. The facility cannot run to the end of the year.
The men in the cages are still there.
@DrainedTheSwamp So what, once they're produced they literally pay for themselves and won't need to use fossil fuels anymore. Your argument negates itself.
Dear @DAGToddBlanche: You don’t get to decide to “move on” from the Epstein Files or from following the congressional law. That decision can only be made by the American people and Congress.
You will be disbarred. The files will eventually be released.
November is coming.
This is fucking insane.
The Trump DOJ just stood in federal court and said with a straight face that the authoritarian regime could bulldoze the Statue of Liberty tomorrow — and there's nothing anyone could do about it.
When a judge asked point-blank: "If the government decides to destroy the Statue of Liberty before anyone can sue… nothing can be done?" The DOJ lawyer answered: "I think that's right, yes."
Let that sink in.
They're openly admitting they believe Trump has the power to erase one of America's most sacred symbols — the literal beacon of freedom for millions of immigrants — and the courts can't stop them in time.
This is authoritarian, dangerous, un-American bullshit.
The Statue of Liberty isn't their property to demolish on a whim. It belongs to the American people.
Wake the hell up, y'all!
Farmers are doing so well under Trump that Republicans have to continue to do multiple billion dollar bailouts to send them our money so they will continue to vote for the Republicans who keep screwing them over. https://t.co/C9YAKMyhK4
It’s D-Day. Trump’s first post on Truth Social is a bizarre AI video about how much people love Donald Trump. Not a word about the heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy.
That tells you everything you need to know about Trump.
On June 8, 2026, I’ll speak on the floor of the House to honor and memorialize the brave crew of the 🇺🇸 USS Liberty who died and were wounded in an unprovoked attack by 🇮🇱 Israel on June 8, 1967. Catch my speech on @cspan.
Not only did Israel attack the US unprovoked and murder Americans, but Israel also put one of the lifeboats from the USS Liberty in its naval museum as a trophy. This history has been erased to protect Israel. Props to Thomas Massie for educating the public!
There it is.
Just what we all wanted, & dreamed of for America's 250th Birthday.
A stupid fucking Trump rally with Bible salesman Lee Greenwood singing.
If Kamala were President it'd be a full day of A-List musicians that volunteered their time.
DOGE didn't make a dent in the deficit, but it did bring back screwworm and enable a historically large new Ebola outbreak, so it's not like they didn't achieve *anything*
