"For a guy who presented himself as this free speech champion, this crusader against censorship, for him now to go after YouTubers is the peak of weakness. Trump is a fragile, small, petty little man. I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. If Trump is so eager to release lists, he should probably start with the one that he's on 38,000 times."

Let’s review. Nancy Mace spent months accusing Alan Wilson of protecting pedophiles. And after she finishes in a pitiful 5th, she turns around and…endorses him. A fitting end to a political career defined almost entirely by performance art.

@ChrisCuomo Appreciate the opportunity to use this one again!

Is it masculine to run from a storm? Is it masculine to allow a man to insult you, call your wife ugly, and call your father a criminal...and then kiss his ass?

[AntiNarcopathyPharmD @narceducator]

Narcissists destroy all special occasions, from birthdays to weddings to anniversaries to graduations to a once-in-a-lifetime basketball final. They can't handle not being the center of attention, so they make it all about them. They enjoy ruining it for everyone else. So typical

[Andrew Egger @EggerDC]

I mean yes. This matters a lot. It is extremely bad for you and for the country that you have all done massive epistemic damage to yourselves in this way.

Donald Trump is a sick man who has no idea what he's doing in Iran. And that is another reason why we MUST impeach and remove him and his cabinet from office. #NY12

When the Access Hollywood tape came out, Kellyanne Conway was the biggest defender of Donald Trump.

She's stuck with him through rape allegations and the Epstein files.

It appears that stopping a flesh eating parasite from spreading across the continent was, in fact, NOT waste, fraud, and abuse.

I was there. There were no cheers. It was all boos. And this coward was shown during the National Anthem, hoping it would stop people from booing. It didn’t. NY hates him. And the chaos he created before the game, and the money that was wasted because of him, is unconscionable…

Wait, you mean we wouldn’t have anymore Hegseths or Patels? How will the nation survive?

"For the past year, FIFA has leased an office on the 17th floor of New York’s Trump Tower that has sat all but empty. The rent goes to President Trump’s family business, but soccer officials say the space sits largely idle." https://t.co/3CrHrid6ls

If you’re looking for an explanation for how Trump got elected, it’s the same mechanism that makes people think irrational shit like chatbots are conscious or SpaceX is worth $2T.

Psyops. Elon Musk is a conman who learned from Peter Thiel you can change people’s brains through social media. That’s why Musk bought Twitter and turned it into a platform for personal aggrandizement, white supremacist propaganda, and organized psychological warfare.

That’s how Trump ran the table in ‘24: Elon Musk targeted exactly the demographics he needed to—on Twitter. It’s Cambridge Analytica on steroids, applied to a captured population.

This is also why there is a literal cult of AI promoters right now. Musk is deliberately programming the population to buy into the worst bubble in the history of the world—for exit liquidity.

This is what Thiel meant when he said “technology is this great alternative to politics.” He actually meant “we can use technology to take away freewill.” Musk is now applying this process to his own personal wealth.

America is being brainwashed at scale by a small group of elites.
They must be stopped and their tentacles totally rooted out. And our system must drastically change to prevent a relapse.

This is the great challenge of our time: Can we recognize the true source of our dysfunction—organized digital lying by elites—and do something about it?

Fox News carries Raskin's entire opening statement in which he ticks through the Trump administration's egregious corruption and extremism

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

The constitution of Iowa requires that a person be a resident of the state for at least two years prior before they can be elected as Governor.

This leaves Democrat Rob Sand as the only eligible candidate on the ballot.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.
