That’s not really news, is it? Ik don’t think there’s a single person in either Ukraine or the rest of Europe who trusts Trump. He’s 100% unreliable

The pipe bomb guy and who else? And probably by auto pen if there were so many.
Sounds like … a good argument? 😵‍💫😬
Trump may have accidentally pardoned the pipe bomb guy?

Instead of just lamenting their shamelessness, let’s mobilize our communities! We need action, not just words. Let’s fight back with grassroots movements! #blueresistance
Trump, Bondi, and the whole administration have a secret power - they are impervious to normal shame and embarrassment.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Zou lachen zijn toch (om de reacties van Duk c.s.) als ze dit verkiezingsaffiche van Albert Hahn uit 1918 nog eens zouden gebruiken, samen met een A.I-affiche van nu? Heel wat ouder en stabieler dan die ééndagsvliegen van de BBB, JA21, etc.

A new video captures masked ICE agents in unmarked vehicles swarming the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew before hauling her away. There’s no way this was random.

Has he been fired yet?
Putting an alcoholic, wife-abusing Fox News blowhard in charge of the world’s biggest military was always going to be a winning strategy #SignalGate #WarCrimes

So Trump, now you can fire him.

Signal leak: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth risked endangering American troops by using an unsecured messaging app to discuss U.S. airstrikes in Yemen, the Pentagon’s acting inspector general concluded in a report, according to two people familiar with its findings.
