Here is Trump's "policy" about investigative steps before an election: 1. If you are a Republican, there is never a time when such steps are permitted. 2. If you are a Democrat, there is never a time when such steps are forbidden. If legacy media is suggesting anything else, they are lying.

Russia just bought large quantities of diesel from South Korea because it has run out of the fuel. Could Putin be defrauding a gullible Donald J Trump? Perish the thought!

It’s wild Johnson thinks traveling the country & campaigning frees him of responsibility for the ass-whooping Republicans are about to get in November. Mike, we haven’t forgotten about the Big Beautiful Bill that gave billionaires a tax cut and is causing millions of Americans to lose healthcare.

20 years ago the top 15 political spenders put less than $15 million into the midterms. Then Citizens United was decided. Now, just 170 billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms. Just in case you wondered why the economy only seems to work for the rich.

The Bobadilla Report documented extensive atrocities, torture, and tyrannical rule by Columbus that led to him being hauled back to Spain in chains, being stripped of his titles, and imprisonment. Of course Trump takes pride in "resurrect[ing]" him.
