If people don’t think Trump is unfit after listening to at the GOP Retreat, then something is so wrong. He’s the one making the final decisions on all military actions, and has the nuclear codes. The Heritage Foundation found a great puppet to carry out their foreign and domestic agendas.

"I despise Nicolás Maduro, and he has long needed to be removed and held accountable for his atrocities. But the consequences to come from Trump’s illegal actions in the dead of night will not be worth it."

Drug companies involved in Trump RX were incentivized to join by not having to pay the 10% tariffs they normally would have, plus other perks (stock prices, etc.).
However, many experts believe that the prices won’t really be lower, and it’s still unclear what the upside of using Trump RX will be.

What a day. Epstein files not released & won’t be for “a couple of weeks.” Trump’s name is physically being added to Kennedy Center now. Nothing approved by Congress. Wind in CO forces 250k to go wo power bc of fire danger. But Trump is shuttering NCAR-these events won’t be predicted in the future.

Since drug prices are going to be 500-700% lower, according to tonight’s greatest hits propaganda speech, I can’t wait until I get massive refunds for my tier 3 drugs!
This promise will never happen, as 100% of T’s promises of anything positive are lies.

So Barron Trump isn’t the innocent young man as his mother portrays him…He & Don Jr. helped the Tate bros get to FL in February. Barron has zoomed w/ Andrew, & they both agreed the Romanian govt’s charges against the Tate brothers were just to silence them & w/ Jr., is trying to get them freed. NYT

What a news day, once again. I don’t know how you all could take it every day. I keep trying to think of something original to say, but I’m out of steam. Our govt is upsetting (mild word). There’s a little hope for the 2026 mids, but that’s not going to fix the Trump & Project 2025 damage overall.

So Trump is issuing a full & complete pardon to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, a convicted drug trafficker sentenced to 45 years in prison, but allows Hegseth to blow up Venezuelan boats, accusing them of trafficking drugs to the US.

Many of us are rooting for those in the Trump administration to be fired. But they will just be replaced by loyalists who are better at PR. Patel may be the first one, and his replacement may be more experienced, but still a Trump loyalist who can cover up better.
