Donald Trump will HATE this ad when he sees it during the Olympic hockey final.

Let’s win gold. And then win back our country. LFG USA 🏅🔥🇺🇲

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

👀 DOJ cites Donald Trump's failed effort to reclaim docs seized from Mar-a-Lago as precedent for rejecting Fulton's effort to reclaim seized boxes ballots

In a note embedded on top of an FAQ question, “What is the average length of stay for the aliens?” Tim Kaiser, the deputy chief of staff for US Citizenship and Immigration Services, asked David Venturella, a former GEO Group executive whom The Washington Post described as an adviser overseeing an ICE division that manages detention center contracts, to “Please confirm” that the average stay for the new mega detention centers would be 60 days. Venturella replied in a note that remained visible on the published document, “Ideally, I'd like to see a 30-day average for the Mega Center but 60 is fine.”

Majority opinion appears silent on the issue.

New Mexico Republicans couldn’t even scrape together 2300 signatures in a state with hundreds of thousands of registered Republican voters. ☠️😭
