every single thing Trump has done since coming down that escalator has been to help Putin but he just did a few head fakes to throw people off the scent

Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars No individual should be able to disrupt military ops like Musk did with Ukraine’s. I wrote that when he did it in 2023. Was told the problem was contract rules. Nope. Happened again. The problem is too much power, esp for an enemy of democracy.

The U.S. Government Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars
The billionaire’s interference in Ukrainian military operations shows he’s a national security risk. No private citizen should have that much power.

Kicking someone off of their insurance because they don't make claims is insane. Insurance companies would bend over backwards to keep customers who don't make claims, and health insurance customers who haven't made a claim have just been lucky.

It’s just seems like you ought to at least know SOMETHING about the government, civics or policy to get appointed as a US Senator from SC or a WH Press Secretary. But no, that doesn’t seem to be necessary for Republicans.

If the current DOJ doesn't prosecute them, the next DOJ needs to hold that DOJ accountable, too. American governance has been held together by handshakes, winks, and nods for too long. WRITE IT DOWN and ENFORCE IT.

... and can't do when it controls federal government agencies. "Norms" have no enforcement mechanism. Wagging your finger at a Department Secretary who breaks a "norm" when they are called in front of you to testify doesn't do anything. If someone breaks a law, they need to be prosecuted.

Rory Roberge @roryroberge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
If I hear another person talk about "norms" being broken, I'm going to scream. If we have learned anything since 2017, it's that "norms" aren't worth the paper they're not written down on. Congress should have gotten off their asses in 2021 and made LAWS governing what the administration can...

WASHINGTON—Trump’s federal agents raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home over decades-old “immigration paperwork” her father filled out when she was a kid. No charges. Breaking DOJ norms. Over the cliff, folks.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

GOP Rep. Tom Kean disappeared for 4 months & missed dozens of votes then finally surfaced, read a 5 minute speech saying he was at a mental health facility, refused to take questions from the press, and MAGA supports his reelection. But the Talarico hoax is career ending.

We've been boiled frogs for so long this never gets mentioned. But this violates DOJ policies that have been in place for decades, ones that Defense Attorney Todd Blanche said should have extended for the entirety of the time his client had declared his candidacy. (Tho I think this was DHS.)

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.
