Q: “Senator Sullivan, why did you refuse to meet with Epstein survivors and then vote to confirm Blanche?” Dan Sullivan: “I’ve done more for domestic violence supporters than anybody.” Dan Sullivan voted to block release of the Epstein files and protect pedophiles.

Trump just threw a massive lifeline to Vladimir Putin. And to do it, he’s breaking the law. Back in 2022, Congress banned Russian energy imports. I voted for it. The law says the president has to consult Congress before he changes anything. He didn’t. Illegal. Deadly. Disgraceful. Link below!

I never thought he could drool over a man as much as he did with Xi during his visit, but love is love. Just like with Jaxton Dart and many others, Trump finds a man to fall in lust with at every rally now.

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

Has the Pentagon given up on AI polygraph analysis of trustworthiness?
AI-aided scanning of speech patterns, vocal stress or facial expressions to read minds lacks scientific backing and will compound errors, critics argue.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.
