At the moment, my description, is gutted. Gutted that my fellow Americans voted for a traitor and their entire party. The “FO” part of the program is about to begin. I hope they all get what they voted for.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

So you can be a person with a valid work permit, working as a nurse in the US & apparently ICE has the authority to remove you in shackles to a country you are not from, where you are dragged back to the country you fled after being tortured.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Bronze plan, 2 people with a $10k deductible per person.
Premium now: $450/month. Premium 2026: $1900/month.
So we’d pay $23k for the annual covered basics, then another $20k before coverage kicks in. This is the second least expensive option available. Just completely untenable. Not happening.

The "let them eat cake" attitude of Trump is really on display. Three theories: 1) he has no idea what his policies are doing to millions of Americans; 2) as goes with authoritarians, nobody inside will tell him this is a bad look; 3) he has stopped caring because he rules as an authoritarian.

People more educated than I am can probably add lots of examples, but to my mind, the main way we're still living Reaganism is that almost no elected politician or candidate talks about restoring the pre-Reagan top marginal income tax rates. It's disgusting that these are not being questioned.
