ICYMI: Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth just launched a sham investigation into me for telling the truth about Trump’s 2019 call with the Saudi Crown Prince.

The Epstein Hoax is just a distraction the Democrats have again conjured up, again. Congress must stay focused on continuing President Trump’s agenda to make the United States the most prosperous country ever. We need to ignore these silly stories and do the work House members were elected to do.

Barack Obama is not making royalties on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare. The ACA is a federal law, and former presidents or government officials do not receive royalties or any form of direct payment from legislation they sign into law.

I’ve got to say I’m totally in agreement with this post 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
Nothing screams "I don't give a shit about the American people" like Trump getting the Supreme Court to pause SNAP payments to starving families.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.
A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.
I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.
Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

Just an old, fat, ex-Republican here exercising my 1st Amendment rights with a few thousand of my neighbors in Carlsbad, CA. I'm chalking it up to a mental health improvement day.

If this reporting is accurate, how can this possibly NOT be an impeachable offense?
