It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

What a shit show. Everyone could see this plan was written by the Kremlin. Adopted by Witkoff and Trump who demanded Ukraine accept it by this Thursday. After a firestorm of objections by Europe and Republican senators it appears Rubio wants to distance himself from it.

No, stupid. The 2% of GDP that NATO member nations agreed to spend is on each of our OWN countries' defence.

RFK Jr is an ignorant , arrogant, dangerous whacko. Do not heed his words. Get advice from your doctor and from credible medical sites like the Mayo Clinic
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

I still can't get over how Trump just nuked their midterm strategy of using Mamdani as a boogeyman by pretty much endorsing him while looking like a kid meeting his favorite star athlete 🤣
Mamdani walked in with an agenda. Trump walked out repeating it.
Trump’s Oval Office Surrender to Zohran Mamdani
In a stunning White House meeting, Donald Trump abandoned his party’s narrative and embraced New York City’s mayor-elect, while Mamdani stayed laser-focused on issues facing the city.

"Look, the Fed can do a lot of things, but what it can't do is lower the price of imports. It can't make it so there are more workers for California farmers to help pick the crops." These are self-inflicted supply shocks, and the Fed can't magically undo them. (The White House can.)
