From the post: "In a review of one billion votes cast between 2000 and 2014, an investigation found 31 instances of voter fraud."

The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter suppression
Trump's Big Lie has become government policy.

Reporter: There were some tricks to the Vietnam deal where they're going to have some zero tariff items that can come into the US. Why was that change made?

Trump: I don't know.

A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works.

We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

3 years ago, I shook the military establishment to its core by rearranging its ranks by literal meaning.

It was great news for captains ("heads") but miserable for field marshals ("horse servants").

Now @jonnelledge.bsky.social has taken on the subject:

Pretty wild that the Republican Party apparently now hates Ronald Reagan — and everything he stood for — and is actively trying to destroy his actual legacy.

Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"
