Once again, every penny of that money ALREADY BELONGED TO IRAN. Absolutely nothing was "given" to Iran but was earned by ongoing compliance with the JCPOA. Trump has spent so much time lying about the JCPOA that Republicans believe it wasn't working. Fact check all the above with real sources.

The SAVE Act hits Native voters hard. Many tribal members rely on tribal IDs or lack easy access to passports and birth certificates. The assault on Native voices is real. #HandsOffHerVote

Hegseth thinks you have drugs on a boat in the ocean that aren’t coming into the US - summary execution. Drug dealers with political connections and cash who sell to American addicts convicted after full due process - pardons from Trump.

Wow. As another poster said, people lost their jobs by saying less distasteful things about Charlie Kirk. Jamal Khashoggi was literally hacked to death in the Saudi Arabian Embassy but Trump excuses it by saying, “a lot of people didn’t like him” and “things happen.”

And now everyone knows that the GOP could’ve done this all along, but instead spent all their time misrepresenting the goals of the Democrats.

Just a reminder that Charlie Kirk was in favor of releasing the Epstein files and thus was on the outs with some in MAGA World. Like Laura Loomer…
