The real irony of Trump trying to put his face of a $250 bill is not that it's illegal. It's that you can't even break a $100 anywhere these day. Who tf is going to accept a $250 bill with a picture of a clown on it?

If you needed further proof that MAGA is definitively #AmericaLast, Fox News is now trying to convince their audience that opposition to data centers is part of a Chinese foreign influence campaign to manipulate Americans into voting against new infrastructure.

Thomas Massie lost his race. Mitch McConnell also lost his race and will no longer serve in congress after January. Both men lost to Trump endorsed, diehard MAGA candidates.

Just so we're are all aware of who Thomas Massie is unfortunately likely to lose his seat to tonight:

I simply could not imagine being in congress and staying silent as Trump builds a slush fund of $1.776 (cute right… 1776) billion dollar slush fund for insurrrectionists. What are these people even there for? History will be brutal to them. And their kids will be embarrassed

The new Trump phone is an off the shelf rebrand made by Chinese manufacturer Wingtech called the Revvl 7Pro 5G, which was previously available at T-Mobile for $0. It has since been taken off the market and replaced with the 8Pro. You cannot even get the 7Pro for free anymore @ T-mobile.

Big facts. Spencer Pratt is a POS who's trying to use a personal tragedy to gain sympathy in order to win his election. In fact, he's trying so hard to play the sympathy card, it almost makes you wonder if the fire really was an accident in the first place...

Just saw a MAGA commentator call someone a 'Rhino' instead of a 'RINO', which is silly because Republicans are clearly rhinoceroses in name, only. The lack of horns should be a dead giveaway.

With the news that Gov Jared Polis of Colorado just granted clemency to Tina Peters, justice has been once again perverted, and this time by a DEMOCRAT desperate for Donald Trumps adoration. Congrats Jared Polis. I bet you get invited to the WH now

All I say on the SC decision today is that the same people who are now celebrating that VA's redistricting was blocked have had jack all to say about this, and that silence speaks volumes.

A "whistleblower" claimed the CIA raided Tulsi's office and Fox News ran it as breaking news even though Gabbard's own office said it never happened. Unfortunately, Fox viewers live in an alternate reality and will never actually fact-check this.

After being charged for sharing a picture of seashells on the beach, James Comey was released without bail yesterday. Think about that for a minute. A man charged with threatening the life of the President was released without bail. That's how big of a joke this indictment is.

So a “non-nuclear deal?” So is trump admitting that he can’t get a nuclear deal? And is Iran now trolling him by not even agreeing to a non nuclear deal? And is he thinking “this time they’ll buy the threat!!!!!”

There are 340 million people in the US. 50 million of those are foreign-born residents, and less than 20% are illegal immigrants. Greg Bovino knows this. He's not misspeaking when he says "hundreds of millions of foreigners." He's lying.

After more than a year of being told we weren't allowed to complain about the construction of Trump's ballroom because it was being funded by private donations, the MAGA GOP has just announced new legislation that will use taxpayer dollars to fully fund the construction.
