🚨 NEWS: Trump is backing out of a scheduled deposition with BBC lawyers THIS FRIDAY, citing “matters of national importance” after weeks of radio silence. His team now wants to delay his testimony until JANUARY 2027—after discovery closes—and the BBC is asking a judge to FORCE him to testify.

The Moron and Lunatic in the White House has now declared China and Russia aren’t helping Iran, and that if they were, “we would know about it very fast.” We do know. His own Defense Secretary told senators they are. Trump's covering for Putin and Xi as they help Iran kill American service members
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump), dated 10/12/26 at 7:45 PM, reading: “I see so many comments from the Radical Left Morons and Lunatics that China and Russia are helping the ‘wonderful’ Islamic Republic of Iran. If they are, it’s at a very low level, but I don’t believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, and we would know about it, and know about it very fast! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Executing a search warrant while early voting is underway in Minnesota, on an old, moldy "crime" is all you need to know about the motivation here. Absolutely no reason not to wait until the second week of November. It's abundantly clear that this is about politics, not a legitimate prosecution.

There are at least two provisions in the U.S. Code that make it illegal to offer or accept a $5,000 "GOP Dividend" for voting. Both the offerer (Donald Trump) and the accepter (good luck with that!) are liable for fines and jail time.

Anyone accepting a $5,000 “GOP Dividend” from Trump for voting is looking at a $10,000 fine and 5 years in jail. It's illegal to offer, give, or accept money for voting. 52 U.S.C. §10307(c) Trump has already violated this law. But voters they will never be liable because they will never get paid.

Tonight, Trump's convention will cast him as the center of America's political story.


The truth is,  no president is the main character in our  American story - we, the American people are.



We are the heroes we have been looking for. We can organize, we can mobilize, and we can end the corruption, cruelty, and chaos  of this administration. From  the war in Iran, to Reckless tariff driving up costs, to  Cruel attacks on health care that are  kicking people off their insurance and raising costs for everyone else - this midterm is our chance to send a message,  demand accountability, and change the direction of our country. 



Presidents have power. But in a democracy, the people are always more powerful than the people in power.
