🇺🇸 Daughter of a WWII vet who dedicated his life to community service.
🙏🏻 No DMs, please.
Today was: Epstein “transparency” blacked out, Trump slapping his name on the Kennedy Center, tanker seizures that even Rand Paul calls a prelude to war, and Miami real‑estate bros freelancing Ukraine “peace talks.” American late empire energy. ↓
December 21, 2025 at 11:45 PM
DOJ slow‑walks Epstein files, Congress talks impeachment, Trump slaps his name on the Kennedy Center, the U.S. is boarding oil tankers off Venezuela, and Trump’s “massive” rally looked broke and tired. Today was chaotic even by 2024 standards. ↓
December 21, 2025 at 1:18 AM
Trump freezes the green card lottery, House bails on health care right as subsidies expire, CDC quietly walks back a newborn vaccine, HHS yanks millions from pediatricians, Trump wipes fraud restitution, and Epstein files day is… maybe. Today was a lot. ↓
December 19, 2025 at 8:06 PM
Jack Smith says he proved Trump committed crimes, Trump goes on TV to hand out $1,776 checks from raided housing funds, Epstein photos drop, troops stay in DC, Congress passes a $901B war bill, and they just voted to rename the Kennedy Center after Trump. Today was nuts. ↓
December 19, 2025 at 1:45 AM
Today we got GOP moderates breaking their own Speaker, the Coast Guard softening “hate symbols” into “divisive,” a secret war on “cartels” that aren’t sending drugs here, Ghislaine Maxwell trying a legal jailbreak, and Dan Bongino quitting the FBI gig. Buckle up ↓
December 18, 2025 at 6:15 PM
Trump’s about to give a primetime “great year” speech while unemployment rises, ACA subsidies expire, travel bans expand, and his own allies call him vengeful in Vanity Fair. Oh, and he now owes the Pulitzer board his tax and medical records. Today was a lot. ↓
December 17, 2025 at 1:27 AM
Today was one of those “this can’t be real life” days: a messy impeachment stunt, a collapsing health care system, Murdoch media throwing shade, Trump flirting with a $5B lawsuit, and GOP calls to expel Muslims from America. All at once. ↓
December 16, 2025 at 3:22 AM
Florida is turning into a Trump-DeSantis theme park while Ukraine dangles NATO, the far right throws a black-tie mixer in NYC, and the U.S. quietly muscles up near Venezuela. It’s all vibes, no guardrails. Here’s what actually mattered today ↓
December 15, 2025 at 1:18 AM
Two US troops killed in Syria, Trump invents foreign policy fanfic, a “healthcare” bill that could spike your premiums, VA slashing jobs, Trump trying to pardon someone he legally can’t, and a reminder Bush v. Gore still haunts us. Wild day. ↓
December 14, 2025 at 3:57 AM
One week before the Epstein files drop, Congress dumps 19 photos, the administration is in court arguing ASL interpreters hurt their “image,” Obamacare subsidies are about to vanish, and Mike Lindell wants to run a state. This country is… busy. ↓
December 12, 2025 at 10:08 PM
Today: 22 million people’s health costs set to spike, Trump floats a new anti-Europe “Core 5,” DHS gets billions to deport while stealing from troops, CNN’s future gets tied to presidential tantrums, and Indiana Republicans tell Trump no. Buckle up. ↓
December 12, 2025 at 1:24 AM
Today we got impeachment talk for half the cabinet, Epstein grand jury files about to drop, Trump screaming that questioning his health is “treason,” and the Supreme Court flirting with pouring even more money into politics. American politics as fever dream. ↓
December 11, 2025 at 1:14 AM
Today we got impeachment threats flying in both directions, Trump bragging the economy is “A+++++” while voters scream “absolutely not,” a $12B farm bailout for a fire he started, and Epstein files about to see daylight. Wild day in American politics. ↓
December 10, 2025 at 2:16 AM
Today was one of those “are we actually doing this?” days: Trump caught in vintage mortgage fraud receipts, Kushner-linked money circling a hostile media takeover, the Supreme Court eyeing more presidential power, and Texas politics getting spicy. Buckle up ↓

Which political party has members who exhibit these traits?🤔

* Criminal behavior & problems with the law

* Deceitfulness, such as repeated lying
* Conning others for personal profit
* Reckless disregard for safety

These are the common traits of a sociopath.

Amnesty Inter’l reported that conditions in Alligator Alcatrez & Khrome detention facility are torturous! Both subject detainees to cruel, inhuman, & degrading treatment. Amnesty urges the U.S. gov to address systemic violations, close Alligator Alcatraz, & prohibit state-run immigration detention.

Partial meaning of the word: POLITICIANS

“…They listen to and act on the needs and demands of their constituents.”🇺🇸

If they don’t do this, vote them out!

So he wants to kill narco terrorists, but he pardons drug lords.

That tracks—he only loves the wealthy.🤪

We all mourn the killing of West Virginia National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom killed by a CIA trained killer. She had bravely joined the National Guard with dreams of becoming an FBI agent. And she would be alive today-if not for Donald Trump. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/a-cia-trai...
A CIA trained killer who Trump granted asylum to killed a National Guard member
We need answers!
