Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

You all know I've been after the Treasury Department's own Epstein file. It's a set of thousands of detailed bank records, a map of Epstein's financial network. Secretary Bessent is blocking its release – and he denies it's even something Treasury should be investigating.

Trump preaches how terrible Ukraine-Russia war is- too many white people dying & its tragic. Yet he won’t lift a finger to save a democracy which we have an obligation to protect! You see 30 yrs ago Ukraine disarmed their nuclear weapons, in EXCHANGE for protection from USA. The truth matters!👇👇👇

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I’ve been saying this for ages: These folks are doomed to be permanently angry because they’re angry about aspects of the culture that policy ultimately can’t change. They’re seeking political power as a consolation prize for lack of cultural power, and will always be dissatisfied.
I think this prediction is holding up pretty well, and maybe I should have noted the failure of the Turn Charlie Kirk Into A Martyr moment might have been the pinnacle of the phenomenon. In some deep way I think the New Right Loser Men fail to understand what state power can and can't do for them.
