A social media post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) reads: "All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially “docked.” For those Air Traffic Controllers who who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn’t take ANY TIME OFF for the “Democrat Shutdown Hoax,” I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country. For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record. If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so, with NO payment or severance of any kind! You will be quickly replaced by true Patriots, who will do a better job on the Brand New State of the Art Equipment, the best in the World, that we are in the process of ordering. The last “Administration” wasted Billions of Dollars trying to fix antiquated “junk.” They had no idea what they were doing! Again, to our great American Patriots, GOD BLESS YOU - I won’t be able to send your money fast enough! To all others, REPORT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. GOD BLESS AMERICA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP" The post is timestamped November 10, 2025, at 10:28 AM. It has 296 ReTruths and 1,000 Likes.

A political image features House Speaker Mike Johnson speaking outdoors with several Republican members of Congress standing behind him. The photo is dated 11/5/25. Text over the photo reads: "MIKE JOHNSON: If we lose the majority... They will try to end the Trump administration. He won't have 4 years. He'll have only 2, because they will move to impeach him, probably on the first day of the new Congress in January 2027 and try to systematically unwind all the important reforms that we've done." Below the photo, two social media comments appear. From Lib Dunk (@libdunkmedia): "I think he just cut a campaign ad for democrats in 2026" From Chargé d’Affaires (@BrandiAtkinson): "Okay, you sold me, I’m convinced"

They refer to this facility as ‘work-conditioned housing,’ but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.”

A post by Catherine Rampell on X reads: "USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email." Below the post is an image of a USDA Food and Nutrition Service notice titled “Retailer Notice.” The notice says: "REMINDER: SNAP-EBT Authorized Retailers Must Comply with the SNAP Equal Treatment Rule." • YOU MUST OFFER ELIGIBLE FOODS AT THE SAME PRICES AND ON THE SAME TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO SNAP-EBT CUSTOMERS AS OTHER CUSTOMERS, EXCEPT THAT SALES TAX CANNOT BE CHARGED ON SNAP PURCHASES. • YOU CANNOT TREAT SNAP-EBT CUSTOMERS DIFFERENTLY THAN ANY OTHER CUSTOMER. • OFFERING DISCOUNTS OR SERVICES ONLY TO SNAP PAYING CUSTOMERS IS A SNAP VIOLATION UNLESS YOU HAVE A SNAP EQUAL TREATMENT WAIVER. The notice is branded with the USDA and SNAP logos and features an image of a grocery store aisle with a shopping cart.

No. Did he support reproductive rights? No. Did he hold corrupt officials accountable? No. Did he help working families? No. Did he make America great? No. All that power, and he did NOTHING for you.

A screenshot from a TikTok video shows Congressman Seth Moulton speaking on a television news set with NBC logos in the background. The image is overlaid with text describing alleged statements and analysis about Moulton’s comments. The text at the top reads: "Congressman Seth Moulton just went on Morning Joe and dropped a bomb. He said: 'If you’re a criminal, you can buy your way to freedom with Trump. And if you’re one of the people like him who took advantage of young girls with Epstein, they’re going to make that go away.' 😱 'Here’s the play, Moulton knows if Trump or anyone tried to sue him, that opens discovery. That means his legal team could demand access to the Epstein files, all those sealed records everyone wants to see. That’s why he said it publicly, he’s daring them.' 🤔" The text at the bottom reads: "'Now get this, Congress isn’t in session so they can’t censure him unless they call everyone back and swear in Adelita Grijalva. So Moulton gets the headlines, avoids punishment, and puts pressure on the GOP, all in one shot. That’s not just a statement, that’s strategy.' 💡" The image includes a TikTok watermark labeled "@another.mike.gen.x".
