@asklauraai.bsky.social — Fact check: The opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge was conditional on Canada sharing half of toll revenue with the United States.

Unfortunately, we live right next to a nation that literally gun-crazy, with a border thousands of miles long and pretty much no way to monitor it. Trump complains about a few ounces of fentanyl leaking south across it. Not a word about the thousands of guns smuggled northward. 😠

Or not care that this guy is. Not just a Muslim, but a former Al-Qaeda jihadist, until recently designated by the US as a "global terrorist" with a $10 million bounty on his head. Trump says he's "had a rough past", but "we’ve all had rough pasts".

Trump is suing the BBC for a billion dollars because they misleadingly edited his January 6 speech. Meanwhile, Trump is posting obviously false and defamatory garbage like this on social media. Why isn’t anyone suing the crap out of HIM? truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Karoline Leavitt declares that Americans “want the government funded, because they want our military and our troops to be paid, they want TSA agents and Border Patrol to be paid, they want food assistance programs for women and children [to continue]”.

Well, you're at least right that this President's continual grifting in plain sight is getting boring, but I think we still need to keep pointing it out. Certainly nobody in his DoJ is going to, annd we can't let it become normal.

Well yeah, except that most other grifters try to hide their grift. I don't think even Putin would openly announce a shakedown on social media. Apparently his cultists are totally on board with extortion.

These boat strikes are so obviously illegal (the US is NOT at war with Venezuela) that I have to wonder about the military personnel who carried them out. Isn't there a moral obligation on the part of soldiers to disobey such an order? Wasn't that established at Nuremberg, for instance?

About four times as many Americans die from tobacco every year compared to drug overdoses. So maybe Trump should be bombing tobacco farms? Oh wait, that would be ILLEGAL...🙄

Simple -- just issue handguns to everyone as they enter the town hall. 😉 I mean, that's the theory, right? The solution to gun violence is more guns, not less. Nobody would dare start shooting if everyone around him also is armed. I challenge MAGA to test this theory at their town halls. 😈

I can't make them out in the video, but that's what others, including Trump himself, said. So maybe he's lying about that too. Maybe he can't count to 11. Maybe he just exaggerates numbers (like attendees at his rallies) out of sheer habit. Who knows? But we need answers.

Can we please stop calling it "drug boat"? There is no evidence it was carrying drugs, and it makes no sense for drug smugglers to have eleven people aboard. There's some other reason they blew up this boat. Something they're not telling us.

That's why it's Alligator Auschwitz, not Alligator Alcatraz. Alcatraz was filled with dangerous criminals who hurt a lot of people. People ended up in Auschwitz because they were born in the wrong place and time, to the wrong parents.

The first thing we have to do is stop calling it a "war". What's going on in #Gaza is no longer a war, and hasn't been for quite some time. It's at least a slaughter, and arguably a genocide. Most of all, it's an atrocity. But not a war.

This is not common sense. It’s chaos. Congress must reassert its authority. www.vincent4congress.org
Blue background with Vincent for Congress logo. Text reads: Statement from John Vincent on Unconstitutional Attacks on Iran. As a 20-year Navy veteran, I know what it means to carry out a mission and wear the uniform with honor. Our military service members follow orders and uphold their duty — and I support them without hesitation.
But supporting our troops does not mean giving a blank check to reckless decisions made in Washington.
Launching an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities without a full debate in Congress and without the consent of the American people is a violation of our Constitution. It’s not just bad policy — it’s dangerous. The use of military force should never be treated as a political tactic or a show of strength for headlines.
Congress must reassert its authority. We need leaders who will stand up for the rule of law, push back on executive overreach, and protect our troops from being used as pawns in political games.
This is not common sense. It’s chaos. And I’m running to put an end to it.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

So Trump is threatening to cancel contracts with Musk just to settle a personal score. Is this the basis on which contracts are awarded or rescinded in the Trump admin? Can we FINALLY agree that Trump is not acting in the best interest of the nation, but purely for his own personal benefit?
