Trump sued the BBC for $10 billion over a Jan 6 documentary.

Now the BBC is demanding his phone logs, calendars, and diaries—and who he talked to about the rally.

He sued to bury Jan 6. He may have dug it back up.

Another day, another round of headlines about Trump's unprecedented corruption.

And this is just the stuff there's reporting about.

JD Vance: I would love it if Democrats were willing to work with us on lowering housing prices. We could have some real bipartisan compromise.

(Trump is currently refusing to sign the bipartisan housing affordability bill)

#BREAKING: Sen Ossoff: “There’s this beautiful little island off the Albanian coast…and Jared Kushner wants it, so he took his Saudi billions and he decided he and Ivanka would buy the island and build a luxury resort, and then like clockwork, just a few weeks after Trump wins a second term in the White House, Albania’s PM grants Jared’s companies strategic investor status, so permitting and approvals are expedited to help the American prince develop his new island. Now, do you think Jared Kushner would get special island-buying privileges if he weren’t the president’s son in law? And it’s not just Jared…the son of the other Middle East envoy is raising billions from the Emirates for the president’s crypto business while the president grants the Emirates the rights to our most sensitive technology. Your tax dollars are backing a Trump family Tungsten mine in Kazakhstan. If you’re involved in ANY of this, next year, you’ll be raising your right hand and swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God in front of the U.S. Congress.” 😳

Elect a rapist and fraud.
Allow rapist and fraud to rape America and steal our money.
Brainwash thei voter base.
Use Trans people and Brown People as your scapegoats.

Reward your allies and punish your critics.
Act like a King.

A Nazi eagle at the White House. 88 foot flagpoles. Nazi salutes. Third Reich slogans such as “One Homeland, One People, One Heritage” & “One of ours, all of yours.” These aren’t parallels or coincidences. They’re turning America into Nazi Germany 2.0 and rubbing our faces in it.

Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. took four months off from Congress, fully paid, to treat depression. Time and again, he’s voted against paid sick leave legislation.

What a goddamn hypocrite. 😡

Theodore Roosevelt said the national parks were the greatest gift this country ever gave itself, and the greatest idea we ever gave the world.

More than 100 nations copied it.

Donald Trump looks at that gift and sees a piggy bank for his own pet projects.

This week we learned where our national park money has been going. Not to Yellowstone. Not to Yosemite. To the walkway outside his office, where Trump ripped out American flagstone and laid down Italian granite at a cost of $689,000 to taxpayers. He said he paid for it himself.

That was a lie.

To cover his vanity projects, they are robbing the parks. Spending on parks outside Washington is down $854 million. More than 900 projects went unfunded. They even pulled money from a guardrail on a Colorado cliff that the Park Service flagged as a safety hazard.

I serve on Appropriations.

The power to spend belongs to Congress, not to a king redecorating his palace. These parks are not Trump’s to loot.

They belong to all of us, and I will fight for every dollar.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

There was just a bipartisan bill passed by both Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate. Trump has refused to sign it.

This is grotesque and un-American. 11 stars represents the Confederate States of America, not the United States of America.

Rep. Dean on the Rubio/Iran Call: I did ask a set of questions to the Secretary and to Mr. Witkoff. He cut my mic off and my question smartassed and stupid, cut my mic off and said, there's your answer.

I was simply asking tough questions about who wrote the MOU and why does it sound so in favor of Iran? I asked Mr. Witkoff, I said, in your work, how much of your work in the region is for the United States of America and resolving these issues, and how much of your time is being spent on your own ventures? That I think really ticked them off

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America.

Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border.

Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs.

If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?

And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America? Ironically cocaine is the same drug that Venezuela primarily traffics into the U.S.

The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran.

And of course why is it ok for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan? Is it only ok if we do it? (I’m not endorsing Russia or China)

Regime change, funding foreign wars, and American’s tax dollars being consistently funneled to foreign causes, foreigners both home and abroad, and foreign governments while Americans are consistently facing increasing cost of living, housing, healthcare, and learn about scams and fraud of their tax dollars is what has most Americans enraged. Especially the younger generations. Boomers and half of Gen X will cheer on neocon wars and talking points, but the other half of Gen X and majority on down see through it and hate it.

Americans disgust with our own government’s never ending military aggression and support of foreign wars is justified because we are forced to pay for it and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, always keep the Washington military machine funded and going.

This is what many in MAGA thought they voted to end.

Boy were we wrong.

As the baby boomers slip away both in votes and power, the electoral future will be decided for candidates that focus on American economic populism and promising prosperity for Americans only.

As of right now, neither party is offering the solution.

@LarrySabato @tonydokoupil bent the knee to get the evening anchor slot at a network that has decided it is now going to be Fox-Lite.

Hope it was worth sacrificing whatever journalistic credibility he had built up over the years.
