Listen to why this “MAGA junkie”—and others—regret voting for Trump after losing their jobs to DOGE cuts. It’s always the same: they expected better for themselves, not the rest of us. They were warned.

After ceding power of the purse to Trump, Republican senators are now begging Cabinet secretaries and other Trump officials to let money flow back into their states. What will these weak-willed lawmakers be willing to do for Trump in return?

Blaming Ukraine for being brutally invaded by Russia. Putin is really getting his money’s worth.
FOX: How would you guard against Russia installing a puppet government in Ukraine?
TRUMP: You have leadership now that's allowed a war to go on that should've never ever happened, even without the United States

New from 404 Media: a Musk ally has demanded administrative access to Notify.gov, a system that lets the government text the public. The access would give them large swathes of the publics' personal data too. A worker has resigned in protest rather than give access www.404media.co/musk-ally-de...

Reporter: You said an example of fraud that you have cited was $50 million of condoms was sent to Gaza but after a fact-check apparently it was Gaza in Mozambique meant to protect them against HIV.

During Covid
Donald Trump tried to withhold giving aid to Blue states
Because they didn’t vote for him
So it should come as no surprise
That as the LA fires destroy entire neighborhoods
Leaving thousands homeless and devastated
Instead of offering to help
