JD Vance should be forced to resign over this. Just shameful, demonstrable open lying by the vice president right out in the open.
Yet again the Vice President of the United States JD Vance is blatantly lying.

The man is not a “convicted gang member” — he is a father of a disabled child married to a 🇺🇸 citizen, with no criminal record.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

They have no right to your personal data & no authority to dismantle entire agencies

We’re calling their bluff & taking them to court

1. Donald Trump promised that, as president, he would drastically lower Americans' energy bills.

But hundreds of Alabama residents are receiving a $100 surcharge on their energy bills as a direct result of Trump's actions in the White House.

I’ve spent about 2-3 hours each day on calls or chats with my US gov friends. Here’s an anonymized recap of what’s going on.

First, I am so very sorry that they are living our last year at Twitter. I never wanted to think about that time again, and I hope my advice is helpful. 1/

Musk previously called for “mass headcount reductions” of federal personnel, vowing that DOGE will work with U.S. agencies to “identify the minimum number of employees” necessary to perform essential functions.

Musk: how many you need minimum
Agency: 1,000
Musk: you only have 600
Agency: exactly.
