Folks, other states, including the red ones) continue to count mail-in, absentee, and other ballots well after election night.
Even Florida and Texas.
It is a lie that those states finish counting on election night.
The people who have it the worst from Trump’s appearance at MSG tonight are the local workers, restaurants, bars, and other businesses. Tonight was going to be their best day of business possibly ever. Trump robbed them of that entirely. Very unfortunate, yet very on brand.
Make it make sense…
Trump says he needs a $200 million ballroom, bulletproof glass, and a security fortress to keep him safe at the White House.
Then he hops on a plane and heads to a packed Knicks game in New York.
Screwworm has now reached Texas and New Mexico with maggots devouring cattle alive after Trump's early 2025 DOGE/USAID budget cuts eliminated key Central America monitoring programs, weakening the international barrier and allowing the northward spread to reach the U.S. border.
You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath.
Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.
The screwworm disaster is a direct result of Trump cutting screwworm prevention funding and firing the staff in charge of detecting it through DOGE, cuts that YOU spent more than a year blindly cheerleading.
Are you gonna take accountability, or blame this one on a staffer too?
FACT: Trump cut funding to stop the spread of screwworms. Then he signed an executive order allowing 100,000 metric tons of beef from Argentina into the U.S. per year. America eradicated screwworms in 1966, while Argentina has been struggling with them for well over a century.
Republican-appointed judge: “The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the United States government to comply with court orders.”
President Obama did not walk out of our 2012 satellite interview. He was visibly frustrated when I repeated my Benghazi question after he ducked it. And his team did try to tell us our time was up. But I kept asking questions and he didn't walk out.
This is a well-coordinated campaign by Trump and the Republican party to cast doubt on American elections. They are trying to destroy Americans' trust in voters and elections.
Elon conditioning the algorithm to defend Trump from a reporter who dared to ask Trump questions is peak dystopia. Social media, nowadays it's basically just a propaganda tool and only people with MAGA brainrot fall for the bullshit anymore.
Trump's Justice Department has seemingly refused all election integrity measures for the upcoming midterms.
The admin has canceled election integrity training, deleted a prosecution guide for election infractions, and does not appear to be appointing an Election Crimes branch director.
Trump to NBC: “First of all, I didn’t guarantee no war.” And: “So when you say I promised – I didn’t promise anything. I don’t like these endless wars. This is not an endless war.”
Reality: Trump promised in two of his highest-profile 2024 addresses not to have any wars at all, and he also made that promise in a bunch of other forums. Some examples:
June 2024 social media post: The election is “a choice between STRENGTH or WEAKNESS, COMPETENCE or INCOMPETENCE, peace and prosperity or war and no war.”
July 2024 Republican National Convention acceptance address: “With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness, and chaos will be over. I don’t have wars.”
August 2024 Pennsylvania rally: “Under Trump, we will have no more wars, no more disruptions, and we will have prosperity and peace for all.”
August 2024 North Carolina rally: Approvingly claimed Viktor Orban had said, “Make sure that Trump gets re-elected president and you're not going to have any more wars,” then added himself, “No more wars. No more disruptions. We will have prosperity and we will have peace.”
August 2024 Adin Ross interview: Boasted that he had no wars during his first term, then said, “And we won't have wars again.”
October 2024 Wisconsin rally: Did one of his numerous renditions of the Orban story: “Viktor Orban said, ‘If Trump comes back, you won't have any wars. You won't have any wars.’ And he's about as tough as they get, and he said it loud and clear and he said why. But you won't have any wars.”
November 2024 Election Night victory address: “I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars.”
That is in addition to the many times he struck similar themes without the explicit promise of having no wars period if elected again – for example, vowing to stop “endless” wars or prevent “World War III,” denouncing “warmongers,” boasting of having had “no wars” in his first term, or saying we don’t “need” wars.

Kristen Welker did a solid job pushing back.
What bothered me was the ending.
Instead of pleading, “Please Mr. President, I flew all the way to Wisconsin,” she should’ve reminded him of the office he holds:
“You’re the President of the United States. You should be able to handle tough questions without getting angry and walking away.”
🚨BREAKING: Some in Congress, even Republicans, are noting Trump feels safe enough to attend an NBA Finals game at MSG, in an arena full of people who hate him.
They are questioning why $1 billion of constituents’ tax money needs to go to a ballroom safe space vanity project.
