Remember, as we all learned during the Biden administration because Trump could not stop saying so, any time any element of the Federal Executive Branch is in communication with a private company it's a massive government conspiracy and the most contemptible fascist censorship scheme in U.S. history

Please take notice that on October 20, 2025, James Comey, by counsel, will

2025); United States v. Giraud, et al., Crim No. 1:24-768-MWB, ECF Nos. 144, 145

Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' last-ditch attempt to block an almost $1.5 billion defamation judgment he faces over false claims that the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax.

I like Mills a LOT. She stood up to trump but there's no reason to throw her into this race, Graham Platner is doing fine from everything I'm reading.

This is more bullsh!t from the #DNC. They threw out @davidhogg.bsky.social because he wanted them to fight instead of writing letters.

This is 100% my sentiments exactly.
People will never learn if they do not reap consequences. Let them suffer with the rest of us.
Blue states should not pay federal taxes. I don’t want my tax dollars paying for a bailout AGAIN.
And don’t come at me with “don’t you like to eat?”.

After installing a makeup studio at the Pentagon, ‘tough guy’, Whiskey Pete Kegseth decided he needed a little more help looking masculine so he got some Botox shot into his big ‘manly’ head.
Word is he’s quite full of himself even though he can’t even do one pull up.
