I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

This is so tragic and unnecessary. My prayers go out to her family and loved ones.
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.
She didn't want to deploy to D.C.
"She hated it. She cried about it."
But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.
May she rest in peace.

All three judges were appointed by Republicans: two by Trump & one by George W. Bush.
This outcome isn't surprising, but it lets one of the most extreme gerrymanders in modern history remain in place.
It will likely result in an 11-3 GOP majority in a swing state, even in a Dem-favoring midterm

Until we can trust ALL our voting machines and the tabulation system, we won’t have faith in our elections. This needs more scrutiny.
On Friday, Valencia County, NM found 200+ "nonexistent ballots" created by a Liberty Voting Systems machine.
"Liberty Voting Systems can't give Valencia County an answer as to why the issue happened."
Nonexistent ballots could be attributed to ballot stuffing. :thinking_face:
