Remember when we were all about taking down terrorists and the networks that financed them?
Now they get red carpet treatment at the White House, presidential pardons and investment opportunities with America.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

As someone who has ordered (and undergone) a lot of MRIs, let me be clear:
1️⃣ MRIs are not routine. We order them when worried about something serious—(ie stroke) not “just to check.”
2️⃣ You always know what’s being scanned. The part of your body imaged is literally what goes into the machine.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is not an ally and I don’t want to see the left/Dems trying to make her into such. She’s a Karen who’s getting her face eaten by the leopard she put into power. She’s getting exactly what she fought for. Fuck her now and forever.

Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker
Perhaps ending the shutdown was the responsible thing to do. But by caving, Democrats risk legitimizing Trump’s maximum-pain shutdown tactics.

Thank you for this thread, @whitehouse.senate.gov. I hope it leads to you asking Senate Democratic leadership to step down.
Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now.

This may be true. You’d definitely see the American people with you if you and @reed.senate.gov work to completely change the Democratic Senate leadership. Thank you, @whitehouse.senate.gov.
The American people are with us, and Republicans will pay a heavy political price if they do not follow through on their commitment to work in a bipartisan way to lower skyrocketing premiums.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
