The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

Only outcomes from these long interviews (that he loves) is that Trump gets to spew longer lies on multiple subjects. Nothing of substance that we haven't already heard before. "This whole place was a disgusting mess, and now it's perfect. But Joe didn't do it. Well, I hope I get a decent story."
