A whole bunch of Americans died in a field in PA trying to stop Osama Bin Laden’s cronies from destroying the WH.

That asshole just destroyed the WH for him.

The terrorists must be so pleased.

TACO accomplished what Al Qaeda could not,

while all the mouth breathing “patriots” let him do it.

"Tearing down the White House and replacing it with a facsimile of Mar-a-Lago isn’t any less appalling because Trump cajoled companies into paying for it. Indeed, it might be worse. Funding a pet project via the coercion of private donors creates a closed loop and complete lack of accountability."

Idaho prosecuted the FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge for manslaughter.

A different DA then got elected and dropped it, but that was after the Ninth Circuit said he didn't have sovereign immunity and could be tried on state charges. It's a high bar to clear but it's not impossible.

Trump says his ballroom might cost more than $300 million but adds, "you know we're building the arc. Maybe we use it for the arc. We raised a lot of money for the ballroom, so maybe we'll put -- the arc is going to be incredible for Washington DC, so maybe we use it for the arc."

If he were right, the import price index (which measures pre-tariff prices) would have fallen by enough to offset the sharp tariff hike. It didn't.

Grassley and Senate Republicans released docs on DOJ' Project Artic Frost as if huge Democratic scandal.

Per enclosed NYT article, Article Frost was investigating of Trump's attempt to overthrow '20 election.

Everything was above board, not a scandal!!

Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get.

Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

I've talked with so many families over the last two weeks who are terrified about what will happen if they lose their SNAP benefits on November 1. Food bank workers say they're already stretched to the limit.

This is the reality right now.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

Popok: Letitia James appeared in court today in Virginia, and she's already filed multiple motions against the DOJ, Trump, and Lindsey Halligan.

The first motion is a motion to dismiss because Lindsey Halligan has been improperly, illegally appointed to be the U.S. attorney.
