One of President Donald Trump's great talents as a politician has been in holding together a very disparate coalition. His supporters might not have agreed on everything, but they did agree on Trump. And that's what mattered.

Same. PLUS I knew Harris would be awesome when & if the time came.

I backed both all the way.
Biden was the best bet to beat Trump in 2020, which was why D strategists anointed him--and the GOP went all the way to Ukraine to dig for dirt even before he was the nominee.

In 2024, both men may have been past their shelf lives, but I'd still take Woke Joe over Sleepy Sleazy Don in a heartbeat.

NEW: As health insurance bills rise, Republicans are still seeking an Obamacare alternative

There is no legislative product yet.

No consensus in the party about a plan.

But top GOP lawmakers and policy figures on Capitol Hill have begun discussing concepts.

In a social media post, Trump warned Republicans not to vote for a bill requiring the full release of the government's records on Epstein, saying “Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap," and calling the issue a "hoax."

He also called global warming a hoax.

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s newly released private emails implicates Tom Barrack, an old friend of President Trump and the current U.S. ambassador to Turkey.

Barrack sent an email to Epstein on March 9, 2016, saying, “Hope ur good. Let’s catch up.” Epstein’s reply is chilling in hindsight.

THANKFUL, but when has the dirtbag, liar in chief, obeyed the #Constitution.
President Trump said he would work to get rid of mail-in ballots and sign an executive order “to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.”

The Constitution makes it unlikely he can change voting rules unilaterally.
