This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Can’t wait to hear how the 4 Democrats who voted for the SAVE Act plan to get reelected when they’re disenfranchising their own voters. Cowards-absolute cowards.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
nhpr.org
NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

Trump’s litany of lies about what DOGE found in Social Security databases will be the pretext to kill Social Security. That money belongs to Americans who worked their whole lives to earn it.

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way. This is not a hot take. It's just plain common sense.

The reason I began rejecting the term "resistance" over and over and over and over and over again starting in 2017 is because that suggests the notion of a discrete group people are angling cynically to be the leader of. Belief in rule of law and democracy is a principle, not an in-group or clique.

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

NEW: Trump has tapped for his cabinet, two GOP legislators—Rubio & Stefanik—who have each confirmed that Putin attacked the 2016 election to help Trump. In 2020, Rubio even produced a 966-page report detailing this. So there's no hoax, and they know Trump's lying. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If Gaetz was applying for a job as a HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY TEACHER, there is no way in hell a school would hire him without reviewing all info about allegations he paid young women — including a 17-year-old — for sex & drugs But the Senate should confirm him for ATTORNEY GENERAL w/o the same info?
