Republican Congressman Thomas Massie says, Trump is building a personal treasury in Qatar with the money made from the oil stolen by the US military from Venezuela and Iran.

Selling stolen oil and putting billions of dollars in a bank in Qatar to be spent without
Congressional approval is not Constitutional.
Only Congress can appropriate money.
The President can't legally create a second Treasury overseas for his own piggy bank.
Wake up Congress.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said his relationship with Epstein was "absolutely done" after a single meeting in 2005. The Epstein files tell a much different story.

Trump: "Think of it. So you have a thing called 'Save America Act. Save America Act.' And Schumer is gonna say, 'I oppose it.' How do you oppose save America? This is simply on voting. Voter ID. We want a statement that you are a citizen of America. And no mail in ballots."

Richard Catalano @fabiancat.bsky.social · 1d

Descriptors of R and D don't fit any more. Rs no longer stand for the rule of law, states rights, strict constitutionalism, and the value of business competitiveness. These issues find stronger support among Ds.
Liberal and conservative labels are dead.
