Excellent short article worth reading in full. But man, this first tweet really underscores Elon’s shameless dishonesty.

To say the only fascists are people who directly commit violence is to argue that Hitler and most members of the Nazi Party were not fascists.

It’s important to remember that Laura Ingraham went to Dartmouth. She’s not as stupid as she sounds. She’s just a shameless liar.

The angry comments here about how a woman should be president whether American voters like it or not explains a lot to me about why JD Vance thinks he has a shot.

I've twice explained to spouse that there is no peace plan. Rather, there's a plan to limit the blowback when Trump capitulates to Russia.

Trump will do it anyway: Trump is going to reverse sanctions bc he wants the grift.

He's just trying to limit blowback for Russia Russia Russia.
I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

No the connection there is clear.

He imposed huge tariffs on China.
China retaliated by withholding rare earth.
Trump crumbled and is desperate to avoid a reimposition of such a ban.
Thus, he declares victory for reversing the damage he did.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Trump is pushing Zelensky to accept a deal before Christmas, giving him just days to respond, FT reports. The so-called peace plan would force Ukraine to give up territory in exchange for vague US security guarantees.

Once again, Trump acts like it's his call to decide Ukraine’s future. It’s not.

David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved.

Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy.

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

MAGA Traitors Need to "Go Back" and Leave America

If the GOP hates the Constitution, diversity, free and fair elections, voting rights, and the concept of separation of church and state, then maybe it hates America & should leave.
