Lordy. It’s embarrassing to be an American these days.
Also no, we wouldn’t have had a “rare earths problem” under any other president because this is the president who caused the problem.

Q: Do you have specific AI guardrails you're trying to put together with China?
TRUMP: No. One of the things I talk to China about is the denuclearization of weapons

Maybe, just maybe, some Republican elected officials around the country are getting tired of being threatened by a nearly 80 year old corrupt mob boss with a 36% approval rating who is increasingly unhinged and might actually start to grow spines. One can always hope.

Oh my. Trump's gonna be postin' some shit tonight.
Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!
