This is the administration claiming to strip “waste and fraud” from the government

Adam Kinzinger @adamkinzinger.substack.com · 14h

Trump is head of the DOJ and demanding we pay him $230 million because, though guilty, he forced DOJ to drop the case, and now he is AGAIN a pathetic, whiney VICTIM. L

Every Republican needs to speak up or be asked about this by media. The grifter is grifting.

I am trying to figure out if legacy media lets Republicans lie without correction because they think it's good journalism or because they don't know the facts well enough to point them out.

Either way, if you value the truth and pro-democracy coverage, support Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

At the WH today, Trump said that grocery prices were way down and inflation had been defeated. Since nobody saw him fall and hit his head, the media needs to suggest other explanations.

He destroys because destruction is the only way he knows how to feel powerful. He resents what he cannot create. He resents beauty because it reminds him of everything he will never be. And so, he does what he always does.

He ruins it.

The House That Never Belonged to Him

What Donald Trump did to the East Wing is what he’s done to America itself.

AZ AG Mayes: We have people in Arizona who are being actively harmed by Mike Johnson playing politics and apparently trying to protect the Epstein files. That’s not okay. We’re going to fight as hard as we can to put an end to it and to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in.

Donald Trump is too simple-minded to realize that when he brags about the White House's tacky new Caesars Palace Ballroom being "privately funded," he's admitting to taking bribes from influence peddlers, millionaires, and corporations that want something from him.

Trump posted a clip about prosecuting Obama, lied about a summit with Putin, took a foreign made excavator to the East Wing of the White House while he dined with GOP Senators on a paved over Rose Garden a month into a government shutdown but tell me again how Biden was old.
