The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Hundreds of people who were once detained at "Alligator Alcatraz" have disappeared.

Lawyers and family members have been unable to reach them.

It’s as if they never existed.

What did the government do to them?

NEW: We need to talk about Russia.

So, yes, that's why we need to talk about Nigel Farage.

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

My Latest FOIA: Trump's Truth Social DMs

Recently, Trump posted a message to Pam Bondi that was meant to be a direct message. I want to know what other official messages he's sending to cabinet members.

Another maga loser will gladly spend their hard earned $75 plus shipping for this horrible piece of trash. I hope it’s ends up like the trump watches missing the T.

Picture of cheap trump pink watch made in China missing the letter T which shows “Rump.” Statement reads: Customers upset with Missing ‘T’ in trump-branded watch that cost $640.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Sally Jenkins @sallyjenx.bsky.social · 16h

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Don’t Bet Against Bari Weiss

The new editor in chief of CBS News triumphs over her critics.

Incredible

Trump was president on January 6

The FBI director on January 6, Christopher Wray, was appointed by Trump

The 274 agents were dispatched in response to Trump's attempted insurrection

Truth Social post by Trump on 12 Oct, 2025 at 12:38am

"THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT"

Dear people of the U.K. (ostensibly England and Wales)

Until you realise this country is fucked because of 14 years of terrible mismanagement in every way by the Tories….

You will end up with Reform U.K. Ltd (Tories on crack) running this country.

And you think it’s bad now?!

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

Most MAGA are so ill informed that they probably won't even see this story. Bad news about the supreme leader isn't allowed in the MAGA press. The others won't care because they're in a cult.
This should sink Trump, but it won't.
The problem is ALWAYS gullible lambs to the slaughter.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.
