When I turned against Trump 7yrs ago, I knew I was taking a blowtorch to my career & livelihood. Scott Jennings did the exact opposite. He embraced Trump a few a few yrs ago knowing it would advance his career. And now he acts like Trump. Jennings is everything that’s wrong with our politics today.

The 900-page blueprint for a second Trump presidency will gut federal education funding, sanction discrimination against LGBTQ+ students, divert taxpayer funds to private schools, and codify book bans and classroom censorship on a national level. That's just the beginning

In the past five years alone, our Canine Unit has covered an impressive 7,588 kilometres on patrol. To put that into perspective, the dogs have tracked roughly the distance from Cape Town to Beijing - nose to the ground, head in the game, and hearts on the job. Their dedication led to 75 arrests.

Helpful to keep in mind that lying sack of shit Karoline Leavitt ran for Congress in 2022, and lost.
After a lawsuit against her campaign, she was forced to admit that she hid about $326,000 in undisclosed debt. Roughly 200k came from illegal contributions.
She's dirty AF, just like her boss.

New Epstein emails "seem to show Trump understood who Epstein was, how he and Maxwell were acting, and the kinds of crimes they were committing. He was adjacent to, if not involved in, those crimes."
