First they blamed the Dems for not funding SNAP
Then they went to court to ask permission NOT to pay
The shutdown is ending & they’re making everyone reapply and “prove” they’re legitimately starving.
It’s almost as though they spent the money and have zero intentions of ever funding it again.

If there's no list and files, like they've all insisted since June, and it's all just a Democrat hoax, how can there be an investigation into Democrats in the files that don't exist?
If there is a list and files, why did they lie? Why didn't the Trump DOJ investigate those people already?

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.

The backlash on Trump is severe. He's had to cut tariffs on groceries & products consumers buy because of high prices and inflation.
But he's still lying:
“But to a large extent they’ve been borne by other countries.”
If that's true, DonOLD, then why are you cutting import tariff taxes?

So lemme get this straight. You are eliminating the tariffs on tropical fruits, coffee and beef to lower prices since you took the mantel of the "affordability" President today.
I'm a little confused, though. If tariffs weren't paid for by me, then how is eliminating them saving me money? Ill wait.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.
