Amazing how the people screaming “THEY’RE HIDING SOMETHING” were the ones who sold the lie in the first place. These right-wing influencers hyped a conspiracy theory that the Epstein files were going to implicate a Democratic cabal, only to see that narrative unravel right in front of them.

When a president talks about skipping elections and floating an unconstitutional 3rd term, it’s not hard to see what this is and what it isn’t. Seizing election material in a state that already counted the 2020 results three separate times isn’t about election integrity. It’s about preparation.

According to DHS, about 3,000 ICE and federal agents are operating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. THREE THOUSAND! The entire Minneapolis Police Department only has about 580 officers. This is outrageous and unnecessary. Our tax dollars are funding this abuse, so it’s happening in our name.

Trump is “frustrated” with Putin for negotiating in bad faith (like he always has)? But Trump’s Russia-friendly shifts are a reason why Putin thinks he can get it all. A real peace deal isn’t reality TV, it needs enough pressure to change Putin’s calculus. Given Trump’s record, that’s a hard sell.

The $400 million jumbo jet will be given to the United States Air Force until its ownership is then transferred to Donald Trump when he leaves office!
Donald Trump Truth Social post:

So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGAReporting from ABC News:

The plane will initially be transferred to the United States Air Force, which will modify the 13-year-old aircraft to meet the U.S. military specifications required for any aircraft used to transport the president of the United States, multiple sources familiar with the proposed arrangement said.

The plane will then be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation no later than Jan. 1, 2029, and any costs relating to its transfer will be paid for by the U.S. Air Force, the sources told ABC News.

Welcome to our everyday hell, fund managers.
An article from The Independent under the section "News > World > Americas > US politics" with the headline: "Fund managers quietly fear Trump doesn’t have a tariff plan and that he ‘might be insane’." The subheading reads: "Some fund managers concerned ‘that the White House is not acting rationally, but rather on ideology. And some even fear that this may not even be ideology’."
