The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

🇺🇦 I don't think Putin's economy is capable of continuing the war in the volumes that were before, if the sanctions are in effect, — Zelensky
"Putin does not want to end the war, the question of whether he can continue it depends on our partners, in particular, on sanctions and diplomatic pressure."

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Separation of church and state from the biggest lying hypocrite our country has ever seen! I’d sue him for defamation and call him out for his lie about C&S. He and his cronies are trying to force religion down our throats. Just laughable!!

Stephen Miller is to blame for the evil ICE is doing. Trump is to blame for listening to Miller. The Republican party is to blame for supporting Trump. MAGA voters are to blame for re-electing Trump. There's enough blame for all of them to share.

Let's hope it involves Russia pulling back to pre-2014 borders in exchange for the EU not sending troops.
Russia is on the ropes. I know people have been saying that for years, but they're liquidating their gold reserves.
