"The big fraud of 2020 didn’t take place in any voting booth, drop box or tabulation center. It happened after the election, at the presidential lectern, at news conferences & in legal briefs orchestrated to support the fiction that Trump won. History will record the scam"

LOL we TOLD you that the Oval Office would become the seat of criminality in America with SCOTUS immunity. Y’all chose a felon to occupy it anyhow, and you gave him the senate and house. Brace for unchecked corruption, but don’t say we didn’t warn you.

83% of voters who broke for Trump in the final days think Harris and the Democrats support using taxpayer dollars to pay for transgender surgeries for undocumented immigrants in prison.

77% believe Democrats support allow minors to transition genders without informing parents.

A PhD student used both Claude and Gemini as an AI therapist.

She vented her frustrations around getting a cancer diagnosis, and joked about how much it was costing the healthcare system.

The difference in responses is staggering.

I'm sorry but fuck the rules. Release the report as part of justice reform legislation consideration. Then claim speech or debate clause privilege.

NEW: VoteVets Responds To Doug Collins being named to head the VA:

"George Washington repeatedly wrote that taking care of those who serve is paramount in ensuring the best of America keep enlisting to serve in the future...
By taking a wrecking ball to the VA, as Project 2025 laid out, and now Donald Trump and Doug Collins will carry out, we most assuredly will discourage service in the future. That will leave us far less safe than we are today."

Pete Hegseth’s tattoos are the ones that white nationalists get. Federal law enforcement know these symbols well. Hegseth was banned from national guard duty at Biden’s inauguration for those tattoos. The Senate should consider this disqualifying for a nominee for Secretary of Defense…

Someone on the House ethics committee should leak the Gaetz sex trafficking report 👀

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING NEWS!!! THIS IS DAMNING!!!

ABC News exclusively reports that the woman involved in the Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations against Rep. Matt Gaetz sat for multiple days of testimony in front of the House Ethics Committee and testified that Gaetz had sex with her when she was a minor in high school at age 17.

The House Ethics Committee also subpoenaed Gaetz's former girlfriend for testimony and obtained a sworn written statement where she lists Gaetz as one of the attendees at a party in July 2017, where dugs were present and which was attended by the woman who Gaetz allegedly had sex with when she was a minor. Gaetz was already an elected member of Congress at the time.

The House ethics Committee also obtained written testimony from another woman who said that she was at a party in July of 2017 in Florida that Gaetz attended, which was also attended by the woman who was a minor at the time and where drugs, including cocaine, were present.

Another woman told the committee that she was paid by Gaetz for sex. Gaetz has long denied all of the allegations, but the committee subpoenaed the company Venmo and obtained records of some payments made by Gaetz.

RELEASE THE HOUSE ETHICS COMMITTEE REPORT ON GAETZ NOW.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

AXIOS: “House Ethics cancels meeting on Gaetz probe… was set to vote on the release of what lawmakers expect is a highly damaging report…”

Weird how those so adamant about transparency in other situations (Hunter, Covenant, etc) seem unbothered by this. https://t.co/dVKdAicExQ

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Pete Hegseth, the Army National Guard veteran and Fox News host nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Defense, was flagged as a possible "Insider Threat" by a fellow service member due to a tattoo he has that’s associated with white supremacists.

I’d like to congratulate Mitch McConnell, “master tactician”, for laying the groundwork that brought us this cabinet full of people who hate him, laugh at racist jokes about his wife, and reject everything he stands for (plus marco rubio). Amazing job.

[Patty Smith @PattySm16264397]

Trump has been running a shadow government since Biden took office. He informs our GOP Congress how to vote and has been in touch with foreign adversaries on a regular basis. God only knows what he did with those important government papers he STOLE.

Whatever you do, do NOT repost this - it would make Trump suuuuuper mad. Like ketchup-throwing mad.
