Look at these numbers. Michigan peeps, wanna talk about the fact 🍊💩 demanded that a decommissioned nuclear facility was brought back on line? Or old coal power plants that were in the process of being shut down were ordered to open back up? Or what about canceling the wind and solar projects? #ETTD
Under Trump’s leadership, electricity costs are going up nationwide.
17% in North Carolina.
15% in Georgia.
13% in Pennsylvania.
12% in Michigan.
And Republicans are doing nothing about it.

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.
