Not to fat shame, but Matt Gaetz looks like he has put on 30 pounds in the last couple months . Regardless, he is despicable whether thin or fat.

President Musk strikes again - killed the spending bill. Donald wouldn't have succeeded without Elon, so ceding the presidency makes sense.

From cozying up to dictators like Putin to switching positions and parties as soon as it's politically advantageous, the only quality of Tulsi Gabbard's you can rely on is her selfish thirst for power. That makes her a very dangerous pick to lead our national intelligence.

We tried to warn. And yet the press “fact checked” anyone who dared to say Trump was going to implement Project 2025—because he said he wouldn’t. Insane.
Media Matters post about Project 2025 architect Russ Vought returning to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Vought is a leading proponent of using Schedule F to fire thousands of federal workers and replace them with MAGA loyalists.

Our allies will not divulge intelligence information to the US if Gabbard is DNI. We will effectively be isolated from our allies as they will not trust intelligence information with Putin's puppets (Gabbard and Trump) at the helm. We need to die on the hill of defeating Moscow Tulsi. #MoscowTulsi

Of all the disastrous picks for cabinet, Tulsi Gabbard is the most dangerous. She is at best a Putin sympathizer (spouts Russian talking points) and at worst a Russian asset. She can not be trusted with national security & will risk US security secrets and those of our allies as a conduit to Putin.
