There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

This is a lie... First of all town halls aren't being held in "arenas" they are being held in churches, schools and community centers. Second, 90% of the time you have to be a resident who lives in the district to register to attend with a valid address.

I woke up as an angry veteran yesterday The debacle at the Department of Veterans Affairs shows just how truly rotten the DOGE debacle is being executed across the government

I was pretty salty yesterday and am still today. The outrageous bullshit from DOGE and Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins is too much. They are waking up a lot of folks that they should have left alone. My latest post dives into it. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives.

Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salariesβ€”sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be β€œtedious” and β€œcompensation is zero"

now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make

Requiem For The West Trump and Vance have put a stake in the heart of the free world.

"What [Trump] is doing is not about making a tough peace deal with Russia, recalibrating NATO, or protecting Ukraine’s democracy. He is merely setting the terms of a new alliance and relationship with the criminal Russian dictatorship β€” directed against the European democracies." bit.ly/41hinVV

The meme is inaccurate - Hegseth

0 kids with wife #1
Cheated on wife #1 with wife #2
Had 3 kids with wife #2
Cheated on wife #2 with wife #3
Wife #3 had 3 kids with her husband #1
Had kid #4 with wife #3 and is a stepparent to her 3 kids.
Cheated on wife #3 with a woman who claimed it was rape

To be clear: the United States Government deployed this family to a country with substandard healthcare with the promise that help would be on the way if they ever needed it.

Now, Donald Trump twice denied this woman a potentially life-saving, embassy-requested medevac.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking β€œI’m worried about the deficit!”

Crockett Calls Trump 'White Supremacist' And Says She's 'Tired Of White Tears' The congresswoman compared herself to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert in a fierce takedown of the new regime.

β€œRight now we have a white supremacist that is sitting in the White House. He is backed up by other white supremacists.”
