Newsmax host to Leavitt on Trump's farm bailout: "It's not funded by tax dollars. It's funded by tariffs."
"That's right," Leavitt replies

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

In a powerful moment, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey made clear he will NOT back down to the 47 regimes efforts to terrorize Somali immigrants.
This is powerful. This is what real leaders do!

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.

“TN-07 is headed for a rematch next November. Tonight’s special: Van Epps (R) beats Aftyn Behn — but she nearly cracked a Trump +22 gerrymander.
Nashville + Middle TN’s nonwhite communities split across 3–4 districts. Courts shrug. GOP wins by design.

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

Undocumented immigrants already get almost no federal “tax benefits.” Fox makes it sound like there’s a giant welfare pipeline. Not true.
They’re barred from Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, unemployment, and most federal programs, yet they still pay billions into the system.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?
