So, the Senators from Utah, sworn to uphold the US CONSTITUTION? Got THEIR church back on the illegal "accepted" church list, but gave a huge FU to the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. Disgusting.

As amusing as I find MAGA telling LDS they suck, in a Karma, or Leopard eating their face, or "and then they came for me and there was no one left to speak" way? MAGA far right wing Utah? Don't worry. Those "libbers" and Democrats you hate so much? Will protect our Constitution, and you.

He's not planning on leaving. That's what the ballroom bunker equipped with drones is for. It's why he's calling for Thune to fire the parliamentarian who's refusing to allow the $1B for the ballroom in the reconciliation bill. It's why he's paying the insurrectionists with his slush fund.

Trump's ever-expanding list of taxpayer grifts: -$10B in damages from the IRS -$1B for ballroom "security" -$1B for Qatar jet refurbishments -$230M in DOJ "compensation" -$100M+ for golf outings When he says he "doesn't think about Americans' financial situation," I believe him.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job. One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?
