Well ~ what do you know ~

And worse, as adults still knowing nothing about politics they have also not learned about critical thinking skills, long term repercussions, ethics, morals or the value of the greater good to a society using their platforms.

Ignorance & Arrogance.

Mostly Arrogance.

‘Listen Jeff, appreciate the kickback with the ‘Melania’ doc but if you really wanna make big money with Pentagon, you’re gonna have to shut down WAPO too, we have some crazy plans; detention camps, martial law, and we don’t need some pesky reporters f*cking things up, Capiche?’

Mike knows “exactly” what the Democrats want to do but he doesn’t know what the Republicans want to do and are going to get together to discuss.

In other words, he has to wait hour by hour to see what Trump wants to do.

Lawyer: “Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?”

Epstein: “Yes”

Lawyer: “Have you socialized with him in the presence of females under 18?”

Epstein: “I’m asserting my Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights.”

Modi: Wonderful to speak with my dear friend President Trump today. Delighted that Made in India products will now have a reduced tariff of 18%. Big thanks to President Trump on behalf of the 1.4 billion people of India for this wonderful announcement.

In Minneapolis, Knitters Are Protesting With Red Hats

When the knitters and grandmothers join the resistance, Fascism is going down.

Worn in the Norwegian resistance against Hitler by teachers, students, and regular folks, the knit hats spoke of solidarity.

The shop now selling the traditional anti-Nazi hat design for $5 has raised over $400,000.

Marching now to the ICE facility

"ICE out of Portland! ICE out of everywhere"

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

❤️

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

The massive government funding package just failed badly in the Senate, 45-55.

Needed 60.

Zero Democrats voted for it.

SEVEN Republicans opposed it:

Budd
Johnson
Lee
Paul
Moody
Rick Scott
Tuberville

(John Thune switched his vote to no for procedural reasons.)

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani & @NYCMayor X.com This morning, I joined @PIX11News to announce a new executive order requiring every city agency to designate a Chief Savings Officer. Within 45 days, these officers will identify which city services deliver the strongest results for New Yorkers—and where we can streamline processes and cut waste. The goal is simple: make sure every public dollar works harder to deliver a safer, cleaner, and more affordable city.

You wouldn’t reform the Nazi Party.
