🚨 BREAKING: Sources report Trump requested Monday’s inauguration be moved indoors due to low public interest, fearing another small crowd would damage his "big crowd" image.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The grand irony of our time:
Wealthy elites ran a populist campaign promising to rid the government of being run by wealthy elites only to win and install their own wealthy elites to run the government in a way that will only benefit wealthy elites.
Until this year I’d never met a female electrician. Now my company FEW Energy has a female Master Electrician and we’re the only renewable energy residential and commercial company in the nation that is signatory to IBEW and Carpenters Union! #UnionStrong
What I learned in 2024;
Do you support Obamacare?
Yes: 30%
No: 70%
Do you support the Affordable Care Act?
Yes: 70%
No: 30%
This is the power of branding—and the hypocrisy of misinformation.
Congratulations to everyone in the media for pulling off the longest, most sustained disinformation campaign in modern history. You shit on the economy every fucking day of Biden's time in office and it turned out to have all been bullshit (and you knew it)
On the debt ceiling, it's worth noting that one-quarter of the federal debt, from the founding of the Republic to 2021, was accumulated during the first administration of Donald J. Trump.
Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is threatening to unseat elected officials if they do not follow his orders to shut down the government during the holidays.
Are we still a democracy or have we already moved to oligarchy and authoritarianism?

BREAKING: President Biden delivers a brilliant response to a question about how he'll react when Donald Trump falsely takes credit for all of his accomplishments.
This is what a real leader sounds like...
"What are you going to do when the other guy goes out there bragging about accomplishments under you?" Ben Meiselas of MeidasTouch asked in a new interview.
"The Medicare $2,000 cap, its going to kick in in 2025. He’s going to be out there saying, 'I did this.' How��s that going to make you feel when that happens?" he asked.
"Look: I’ve invested more in red states than in blue states with all these programs we just talked about," said Biden. "The reason for that was that the red states didn’t operate very well, and they really hurt their constituents so those factories closed and the like."
"The fact is that I represent all of America, not just Democrats," the president continued. "And I think what it’s going to do is bring the country more together than separate it."
"And for example, you already have folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others saying, 'Don’t eliminate the factory,' after talking about how the proposal to build it was the worst idea anybody’s ever had," Biden continued. "She didn’t vote for it."
"So I think there’s going to be a bit of a comeuppance here but the bottom line is I'm convinced that over time the American public will respond to what is the intention of the party to try to help ordinary people," he went on.
"And the fundamental change I made — and I made a speech at Brookings Institution about it recently — was on the economy," said Biden.
"The fact is that we had a long time this idea of trickledown economics," he said. "Let the wealthy do very, very well. They'll have so much money it'll trickle down on people's kitchen tables and coffee tables and the like and everyone will benefit. I never bought that theory!"
"And so what I've decided to do is to change it to build the economy from the middle out and the bottom up," explained Biden. "The wealthy still do very well but the middle class and the working class people do much, much better.
"And that's exactly what's happening and so I think the long term prospects for the country are very good," he added.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Biden's legacy will far outshine Trump's — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Here’s a montage of Trump repeatedly promising to “end inflation” and specifically lower the cost of groceries.
Today, however, Trump told Time magazine that he likely won’t be able to lower prices, saying: “It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up”
New opportunities are now opening up for the people of Syria and for the entire region.
Looking ahead, the United States will do the following.
First, we will engage with Syrian groups – including within the process led by the United Nations – to establish the transition away from the Assad Regime toward an independent, sovereign Syria.
Second, we will help ensure stability in eastern Syria, protecting our personnel against any threats. We will maintain our mission against ISIS.
Third, we’ll support Syria’s neighbors – including Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Israel – should any threat arise from Syria during this period of transition.
Finally, we will remain vigilant.
Hey media: New NIH director Jay Bhattacharya is not a practicing medical doctor, he did not do residency. He has zero clinical experience.
Oh, and the thing he's famous for was laughably wrong in hindsight; would have killed millions.
U can fact check.
While working on this story I reached out to several experts in cyber harassment, doxing, etc. I was stunned when multiple experts in this field declined to speak to me on the record for fear of themselves becoming a target of Elon Musk https://t.co/XWjkJDXbJG
