Who are the private donors funding the disgusting demolition of the East Wing of the people's house for Trump's $250M gilded ballroom?

That's a public area of the store. Therefore, the agents have a right to be there. This article explains how to respond in similar circumstances.

I will never get over the shock of knowing that a third of Americans think the guy who lies constantly about literally everything is the only one they can trust to tell them the truth.

The three most brazen lies inexplicably sold to the cult:

1. TRUMP IS HONEST

Actually, he may have told more lies than anyone in human history, and that's ALL of human history, extending back to the Mayans and Mesopotamians.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Trump using a Chinese* excavator to destroy the White House is a bit on the nose as metaphors go.

*Volvo is owned by Geely Holding, a Chinese company.

In 1933, Adolf Hitler was legitimately made Chancellor of Germany. That doesn't mean that everything he did while in that office, like giving himself absolute power like a king, was legitimate, Meghan.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

When Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933, it wasn’t because he seized power. It was because Germany’s conservatives gave it to him. open.substack.com/pub/thecycle...

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

The GOP called protestors "terrorists" and "Marxists" and that didn't stop retired moderates in small towns from coming out today dressed in frog costumes because they're tired of this obvious bullshit.

Two million more than in June. Seven million total.

The GOP should be very worried.

Small town protests scare the GOP the most. GOP House Members see their constituents in towns where everyone knows each other and were HAPPY to attend their NO KINGS protest, daring their MAGA congressman to call them a terrorist, compare them to Hamas, or say they "hate" America.
