Out of 16.4 million Americans who served in WWII, only about 40,000 are still alive.
They’re dying at a rate of ~100 per day.
These are the heroes who saved the world from tyranny.
Find one. Thank one. Listen to their stories.
While you still can.
Real story:
Judge was about to throw out the case bc Trump controls both parties.
Before it’s dismissed, Trump tells both parties to reach a “settlement.”
Settlement shields Trump from any future audit and creates a secret slush fund that can dole out money to anyone with no transparency.
Mind-boggling corruption.
@SpeakerJohnson - you may not know it, but your job is to conduct oversight of the admin. You can’t run away from this one.
He gets a ballroom. An Arch. A new reflecting pool. 10 billion directly into his pocket from taxpayers. Billions from special interests seeking favors and pardons.
What has America gotten? Tariffs, a new war, higher gas prices, inflation.
Truly a golden age.
There is a new lane that is forming made up of people from the right and left that are fed up with both parties because both parties have failed the average American.
The new center shares a common America First perspective and arguably could be bigger than both parties.
Americans who no longer want to fund foreign wars, want the hard earned dollars they work for to comfortably afford a good life, and want corrupt elites like the Epstein class held accountable.
These are the basic common ground issues that bring independent minded common sense Americans together.
And it’s the most refreshing thing happening, mostly among the younger generations, to organically be happening in America in a very long time after so many years of toxic political divide.
We need to lean into this.
United we stand.
Divided we fall.
Trump admin is considering temporarily removing the 18.4 cents federal gas tax, which requires a vote from Congress, sure get rid of it entirely.
But the national price of gas would not be $4.52 today if Trump had never gone to war with Iran on behalf of Israel, and taking off 18.4 cents isn’t really going to help Americans that much!
And America produces enough oil to be self sufficient, we shouldn’t be getting gouged at the pump anyway.
The America LAST failures for decades from leaders in Washington DC have over regulated, blocked land leases, and prevented more refineries from being built, which all led to consistently unnecessary high gas prices.
Instead of helping Americans, they pursued and continue to pursue WARS in the Middle East.
Yes please do throw the peasants some more bread crumbs.
But at least make it permanent!
A man with no working truck convinced Wall Street he had built the next Tesla. His company hit $30 BILLION. All he did was push it down a hill with no engine.
> Trevor Milton founded Nikola in 2014, named after the same inventor as Tesla.
> The goal was to build hydrogen powered trucks that would make diesel obsolete. He had no trucks.
> In 2018 he released a promotional video called Nikola One In Motion. It showed a sleek semi truck accelerating smoothly down an open highway.
Investors went wild.
> What nobody knew was that the truck had no engine, no fuel cell, and no propulsion system of any kind.
> Milton's team towed it to the top of a hill, tilted the camera to hide the slope, and let it roll.
> He spent the next four years doing the same thing with words. On podcasts, television and social media.
> Investors were told Nikola could produce its own hydrogen. It could not. They were told the trucks were ready for production. They were not. They were told orders were flooding in. They weren't.
> In June 2020 Nikola went public. Within days the company was worth $30 BILLION, more than Ford.
> Milton's personal stake hit $7.3 BILLION overnight.
> A $32.5 MILLION ranch in Utah followed. A record for the state at the time.
> In September 2020 Hindenburg Research published a report calling Nikola "an intricate fraud" built on "an ocean of lies." Milton resigned within ten days.
> A federal jury convicted him of securities fraud and wire fraud in 2022. Sentenced to four years in prison the following year.
> He never went. He was free on $100 MILLION bail pending appeal.
> He and his wife donated $3.2 MILLION to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.
> In March 2025 Trump gave him a full pardon. The pardon erased $168 MILLION in restitution to defrauded shareholders.
> Nikola filed for bankruptcy the following month, leaving thousands of investors with nothing.
The company never had a product. The only thing that was real was the $30 BILLION valuation, the $7 BILLION that landed in his pocket and the pardon that made sure none of it had to be returned.
When is everyone going to start realizing that the manic on again off again war/peace rhetoric is really just insider trading?
And sprinkle in some murder.
Only a select few in the top tax bracket are benefiting from this, and the majority of you ain’t in it.
BREAKING: Nearly $920 million in crude oil shorts were placed at 3:40 AM ET, about 70 minutes before Axios reported the U.S. and Iran were nearing a “14-point” deal to end the war.
Oil then plunged more than 12%, with the position gaining an estimated $125 million.
Unusual.
America just crossed a dangerous milestone: our national debt now exceeds the size of our economy. Washington spends $1.33 for every $1 it takes in, with a $1.9T deficit this year alone. When the bill comes due, expect higher taxes, a weaker dollar, fewer services, a weaker military—and our kids stuck paying for it.
Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during his two terms.
We don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.
Imagine getting in a time machine and going back to 1776 and telling the Founding Fathers that the King would one day be reminding America about the importance of democracy and our checks and balances. That is the timeline we’re living in.
Trump was asked about the insider trading scandal recently and his response: "The world is a casino."
Honestly, that may be the most truthful thing he’s said in any interview.
Because the people trading on his tweets need to be prosecuted.
What's happening is corrupt and the American people know it.
This isn't abstract. This undermines the integrity of our capital markets.
It undermines faith in the entire system.
And when the president's response to market manipulation is a shrug and "the world is a casino”, that tells you everything about who is running the casino.
