NEWSMAX: When will Americans start to feel economic progress?

RON JOHNSON: The problem is the Democrats and Biden left so many enormous messes. I can't predict it.

This is evil.
Of all the dirty tricks: juking USPS rules so that the postmark of mail-in ballots won't reflect the date they were put in the hands of the Postal Service, creating a pretext to throw out the votes.

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.”

Poor Donald. He's so stupid and confused.

He thinks Barack Obama (who was no longer in power) controlled the 2020 election.

And he thinks Joe Biden (who wasn't yet in power) authorized FBI agents to be sent to the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, when DOJ reported to Trump.

I fear today we no longer have a democratic republic. We have the appearance of a democracy. Proof? Look at the issues that have +50% public support that Congress won’t act on. When big corporations and wealthy donors want something, Congress jumps.

Great question.
The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

Good morning Bluesky! Trump spent Christmas Day bombing Nigeria, country #6 this year, while the Coast Guard played international tag with an oil tanker. He also told Democrats to “enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas,” a nontraditional expression of cheer.

Trump thinks the military is his, not ours. Because he's a dictator.
(I no longer say he's a "would-be dictator." He's a dictator who does dictator things. And he'll keep doing them until we stop him.)

I was not expecting a guilty verdict. I hope Judge Dugan is successful on appeal. I’m concerned about this emboldening this lawless administration.

For those asking about sentencing, the 1505 charge carries a 5-year maximum, but Judge Dugan's guideline sentence will be much lower, because she's a first-time offender & there are mitigating factors. And of course, there will be an appeal before the conviction becomes final.

This is hardly the first time either. Can we at least get some state investigations and prosecutions?
Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
 
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

You can measure the quality of news outlets' political coverage by how often they write headlines starting with the words "Trump says" that don't show any skepticism about what Trump is saying even though he's the most prominent American liar of modern times.
