New bombshell reporting reveals Tulsi Gabbard:
—Has been a member of a Hindu cult for over 30 years
—Took legislative and messaging direction from the cult's leader, Chris Butler
—Introduced bills and gave speeches written by Butler and his top cult lieutenants
—Had cult members create fake social media accounts to boost and defend her online
—Sculpted her signature Pro-Bashar al-Assad stance based on cult directives
This is an utterly insane story: 25,000 documents reviewed by WaPo indicate that throughout Tulsi's career, her political moves were controlled by her guru, cult leader Chris Butler.
This woman was leading the world's largest intelligence apparatus.

Donald Trump’s handpicked candidate Mike Collins is a notorious bigot, antisemite, and extremist currently under federal investigation for the illegal misuse of tax dollars. Collins, who is only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman, voted to double health insurance premiums for more than a million Georgians, for the Iran War, and for the Trump tariffs.
Multiple project summaries provided to the White House by Clark Construction show that internal cost estimates have been significantly higher than administration officials have acknowledged in public comments or court filings. They also show that the work was projected to rely heavily on taxpayer dollars from the moment it was announced.
Mike Collins, the new Republican Senate candidate for Georgia:
—Praised college students making monkey gestures and noises at a Black woman
—Employed a chief of staff who was in a white nationalist group chat
—Denies the results of the 2020 election
—Has been the subject of a House Ethics committee investigation

NEWS CENTER MAINE: This is the first reelection campaign that you're run since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. I was hoping you could talk to me a little bit about your vote to confirm Kavanaugh and whether you regret that?
SUSAN COLLINS: I do not regret that vote.
Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.
He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.
He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history.
We have nothing to hide.
Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere.
The country is watching.

Deposing Attorney: So you weren’t able to reduce the federal deficit and you still don’t regret that people lost some of their livelihood based on your actions?
DOGE Bro: “No.” 🤦♀️

Vice President JD Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, White House Counsel David Warrington, FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and former Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich converted the hallowed Situation Room — America's nerve center for real threats and decisive action — into a pedophile protection racket, where top officials huddled to cover-up the Epstein files scandal and protect a president who used to rape children for fun.

Stephen A. Smith claps back at Trump:
“The brother wasn't awake. If it was that important for you to be there, why did you look like you were asleep? Didn't you call out former President Joe Biden, 'Sleepy Joe'? Well, what should we call you?”
