Wasn't Al-Qaeda involved with 9/11?

I’ve wondered for years if Trump was involved in that, too.

Maybe even his former lawyer and former mayor of NYC.

People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.

That’s why I’m running on:

- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

Ah, yes...the Kansas GOP could have gone with the words of their dear leader — 👀 "look at my African American over there..." and been just as convincing. 🤣

Your Young Republican incel 💩 on the bottom of the shoe pipeline is fooked. It's so bad you had to shut the whole thing down.

JUST IN: Kansas Young Republicans were deactivated after a Politico investigation uncovered racist messages in a group chat among young GOP members.

Chair Alex Dwyer reportedly reacted to “Great. I love Hitler” with a smiley face and heart-reacted to a message about killing political opponents

Welp—CDC’s entire data team for its legendary national health and nutrition survey (NHANES)—our health census—has been laid off. Now we are flying blind to nutrition and chronic disease status in the U.S.—is this supposed to help us be MAHA? www.statnews.com/2025/10/14/c...

CDC team running top survey on health and nutrition is laid off

NHANES has collected data on eating patterns, diabetes, and other common diseases for decades. The CDC team that runs it has been fired.

The quiet part is no longer quiet.
Trump is a fascist and FOX is a fascist organization.

Social media post:

Anti-Trump graffiti spree a sign of
emerging alt-left, liberal activist.

Picture of a brick building's corner
with "NO FASCIST USA" spray painted on it

André Davis @AndreJDavis82
That graffiti doesn't even mention
Trump. It's interesting that you
are willing to admit the Fascism

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

If after viewing this map it seems that conservatism causes poverty, illness, misery and death you would be completely correct.

Social media post:
Image of map, color coded by average life expectancy in America
showing the deep south has a significantly shorter average life span.

Wow, Americans in the southeast of the US have a 20 year
shorter life expectancy than those elsewhere. Wtf is going

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.
