The Trump admin is being told what to say or else… Americans don’t deserve flip flop stances on what’s best for us and our allies.
COLLINS: You wrote in fall 2023 that "Putin is to blame like Al-Qaeda was to blame for 9/11." Do you still feel that way or do you share the president's assessment as he says Ukraine is to blame?

WALTZ: Well it shouldn't surprise you that I share the president's assessment on all kinds of issues

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk.

Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding.

They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

This is going to give so much power and influence to China
BREAKING: All overseas missions for the U.S. Agency for USAID, have been ordered to shut down and all staff will be recalled by Friday, CBS News reports

USAID has more than 10,000 employees, with about two-thirds serving overseas

This outrageous move will only bolster China’s global influence.

If we don't have room for immigrants willing to work, maybe we should make room by deporting the white supremacists unwilling to think.

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

California makes all the food this country eats and all the clothes this country wears in addition to paying more federal taxes than anyone else. Want to cut us off? OK. Good luck with the tariffs and trying to get cheap produce and goods from Mexico and Canada without us!
HANNITY: Are you saying that California, if they continue to aid and abet lawbreaking and harbor illegal immigrants, money from DC gets cut off?

MIKE JOHNSON: Yeah. We're talking about conditions to this disaster aid.

Those who attacked and beat up police officers in uniform got pardoned. So disgusting. MAGA does not support our officers in blue
Remember when JD Vance said just last week that any January 6 rioters who committed violence won't be pardoned?

Well, today, Trump pardoned hundreds of rioters who assaulted police officers and committed other violent crimes.
