Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.
Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.
A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

Wake up, MAGA: Donald Trump is a narcissistic psychopath; he is totally self-serving and has no conscience or remorse at all. His cowardly violence uses others to commit premeditated murder, 115 counts.
He will turn on any MAGA supporters for his personal gain; he has zero feelings for anyone.

DHS is spending $8 million to pay influencers to pump out pro‑ICE content. So we’re literally footing the bill for our own propaganda. This is what they think they can get away with—using our money to sell us a narrative we never asked for.

It only took them 12 months to build massive concentration camps all over the USA. You’d think there would be more uproar, but no. No one cares unless it’s in their backyard.
