True independent. Character & Integrity matter. Hypocrisy and the outrage machine are the worst.

Every single one of us has a profound interest in government at every level strictly observing due process of law. All of us should be deeply concerned by any violation of anyone's due process rights, whether in criminal or administrative matters. We might like what government can more efficiently accomplish by disregarding proper legal procedures today. But we will rue the day we licensed such governmental misconduct when, tomorrow, a different government disregards legal procedures to achieve quickly results we abhor. The government in power, whatever it is, will not always be in power. There will "arise a pharaoh who remembereded not Joseph." If we want due process for ourselves and in defense of things we cherish and believe in, we must insist on due process for everyone.

AI spending (which this admin has nothing to do with) is at insane levels…yet the GDP comes in at 1.5%.

The guy who bankrupt casinos with house money & throws around wars and tarrifs on a childish whim isn’t capable of coasting off the success of others? Who saw that coming?

Is it really too much to ask for these people to act normal for 5 minutes?

Fauci deserves the death penalty.

Full stop.

He is the most prolific mass murderer in American history.

If they won’t have an economic impact, then why are they being done at all? I thought the point was to IMPROVE American’s lives. No impact (a lie anyway) = no improvement.

This is no secret. It’s the whole point.

“What the administration has done so far has been to bring weak cases that nonetheless make a splash in the news, suggest that there is some wrongdoing by people and create a real drain on people’s time and money and resources..." https://t.co/mFI4iAeIZR

Corruption at unforeseen levels. And no one does anything…

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Let's be clear: There is no other president that comes close to President Trump's profiteering or corruption. https://t.co/8L7PgVjEQ8

[Chris Conlon @CConlon21]

Gullible as hell

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

DOOCY: You said Russia and China aren't helping Iran. But Hegseth says they're 'enabling.' What's the difference?

TRUMP: I don't know that they're 'enabling.' I will tell you that President Xi said he will not partake. And President Putin said the same thing. I trust them.

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

Trump has directed his administration to withhold critical aid to states that didn’t vote for him. Trump genuinely just hates Americans. He openly hates everyone who isn’t a sycophant. He is the most anti-American president in my lifetime.

[Chris Conlon @CConlon21]

Further proof there is nothing that he doesn’t make about himself. Malignant narcissism.

[Acyn @Acyn]

DOOCY: Where do you stand on LeBron versus Michael Jordan as the best ever?

TRUMP: Michael Jordan's a friend of mine, play golf with him. He's a really good guy. and I think LeBron is maybe he's a racist but maybe he doesn't like Trump. I only like people who like me. I would say Michael Jordan all the way.

[Chris Conlon @CConlon21]

Illegal? Illegal.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

BREAKING NYT:

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states "based solely" on whether they backed Trump in the 2024 election.

Imagine that - the chair of the weaponization of government subcommittee weaponizing the government.

If this is the best they can come up with, they have nothing on Jack Smith. Which is not surprise in the least.

[Ken Dilanian @KDilanianMSNOW]

Jack Smith was asked if his office obtained Congressional text messages through subpoenas of toll records. He truthfully answered No. His office did obtain some texts through a subpoena to NARA. He was never asked about that.

The Republicans say that means he knowingly lied under oath.

[Chris Conlon @CConlon21]

Maybe after that Grok can prove that trolling rots your brain.

[Variety @Variety]

Elon Musk has pledged to create a "historically accurate" version of #TheOdyssey using his AI chatbot Grok "before this year ends." https://t.co/JiDnLowwcw

[Chris Conlon @CConlon21]

So the interference in our elections that he claimed is really bad but that is directly refuted by the documents he released isn’t bad enough to do anything about because…we do the same thing (which China didn’t actually do)?

Holy hell.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Q: Are you planning on putting any pressure or consequences on China for what you announced about them meddling in the 2020?

Trump: It took place a long time ago. I think China is maybe a little bit different today than it was then, but look, they, they do things and we do things to them. I'll be honest, we do things for them too.

[Chris Conlon @CConlon21]

Combination of incompetency and agents fabricating CYA stories because there has no been accountability for them in any regard.

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

The Trump administration has lost or abandoned nearly half of the resolved cases in which it accused people of assaulting ICE agents. Normally the Justice Department wins more than 90% of its criminal cases. https://t.co/n3UXB78Inv

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

Brutal response from FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez to Trump's call for ABC and NBC to be stripped of licenses

"It is ridiculous to call for broadcasters to lose their license simply for making the same editorial decisions they've made under presidents of both parties. Those editorial decisions are protected by the First Amendment, and the FCC has no authority to punish a station for refusing to air a blatantly political speech. This is a naked attempt to bully broadcasters, and the FCC should have no part in it"

[Chris Conlon @CConlon21]

True conservatives are politically homeless. Moderate liberals are fed up with extreme progressives.

The pool of independents continues to rise. Yet we continue to be all but forced into a two party system because those entities refuse to relinquish any iota of power.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Things conservatives told me when I was in my 20’s:

*Character counts
*Crony capitalism is bad
*Russia is our enemy
*Tariffs are taxes
*The Constitution is sacrosanct
*Government power should be limited, restrained, and checked by congress.

Guess they were just joking.

[Miles Taylor @MilesTaylorUSA]

Trump has gutted the FBI’s election protection task force, DHS election teams, ODNI cells, and the EAC.

If he’s so concerned about the security of our elections…

…why is he systematically dismantling the tools to protect them?

🤔

[Chris Conlon @CConlon21]

He basically said “This supposed criminal activity occurred in my 1st term, there was nothing I could do about it, the DOJ I run like my law firm won’t file any charges now, & no I won’t give any specifics-how dare you ask. Now pass my wildly unpopular & unnecessary legislation.”

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections.
