Hilarious. The WH had all the Cabinet members simultaneously put out statements supporting Susie Wiles after the Vanity Fair article came out.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Reject any and every lie of this regime that they are fighting the drug trade. Their boss pardons a drug kingpin who helped bring 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Dear Senator Cassidy,

“We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name.

Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.

Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.

A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.
Federal Agents Are the New Proud Boys
It used to be far-right groups who flooded cities wearing masks and military gear, looking for a fight. Now it’s anonymous federal agents who are violently attacking people on the street.

If you think it’s problematic that Homeland Security sent ICE to intimidate Governor Newsom during this press conference

Just wait until Trump applies the $30 billion allocated in the Big Ugly Bill to expand ICE

And sends out these thugs to “maintain order” during the midterm elections

You’ve heard of Donald Trump. But have you heard of Russell Vought?

He’s the man behind Project 2025—a 900-page roadmap for dismantling democracy and rebuilding it in the image of the far-right. Six months in, Trump is executing this plan step-for-step.

The attack by Trump's DOJ on Judge Boasberg is ominous, and merely the first step in what will be a four-year effort to intimidate and discredit any judges who displease the administration, laying the predicate for ignoring or evading their authority.
