Dear USA, you are being set-up, read his posts he’s gonna steal midterms and claim win because of rallies. Make a plan now, because it’s coming. Trump’s a criminal as is his Cabinet. Patel, Hegseth, Blanche are treason weasels. Forget about his sexcapades w/Natalie Larp & focus.

Talking of old fashioned ideas, when Crassus, one of the richest men in Rome, who’d obtained his wealth by nefarious means, launched a war without the permission of the Senate on the Parthian empire (contiguous with much of modern day Iran) they captured him and poured molten gold down his throat. 👀

Also, the DoD just put Anduril founder Palmer Luckey on "Project Meridian," its commission to determine the future of warfare, which may just involve buying lots of Anduril products, who knows. Luckey has made over 1,000 contributions to Republicans since 2017, 23 of which were for over $100K each.

Cool, cool. Lots of reporting that theres a suspected pneumonic plague outbreak in Russia, and several hospitals are under forced quarantine. Obviously, it’s Russia, so accurate information is scarce.

NEW: Millions of Americans move every year. Under Trump's voter eligibility lists, those millions of recent movers could face disenfranchisement right before the midterms. But that hasn’t stopped DHS from moving forward with the lists.
