White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Does he think The Shield of America is what TSA stands for now?

Spain denies cooperating with U.S. military operations in Middle East, contradicting White House A diplomatic tussle between the United States and Spain over the war in Iran intensified on Wednesday when the governments exchanged contradictory statements over the possible use of Spanish military ...

The White House doesn’t just get facts wrong they’ve turned “say it first, worry about the truth later” into an art form. Take Spain: the U.S. says Madrid has agreed to cooperate; Spain’s foreign minister immediately says, nope, that’s not happening.

Well would you look at that

Key Trump ally behind emergency elections order reveals loony conspiracy theory motivating his effort Peter Ticktin said the Trump should sign an executive order to take over voting machines, because machines in Antrim County, Michigan flipped votes from Trump to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

$1.5T defense budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol

$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$300M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ for Trump to golf
$75k+ for Kash Patel's Olympic trip

Priorities.
