I reduced it from 45 kg because:

- overkill

Imagine, President Trump illegally imposed a huge tax increase of hundreds of billions of dollars on the American people, one of the largest tax increases in history.

β€œSeveral Trump administration officials had privately said in the weeks leading up to the ruling that they expected the high court to rule against the president’s β€œemergency” tariff regime. However, the Trump officials stressed, they have already briefed the president on Plan B options, which…

Yes, I believe some administration officials did expect this ruling from the court.

It's easy to idealize the past but I do think there was a time when "the Secretary of Labor's husband has been banned from her workplace because he wouldn't stop groping women" would be in the top five stories of the week.

Those tariffs must have been so illegal for the same Supreme Court who ruled β€œthe president can commit crimes as long as he’s wearing his president hat” to decide they’re against the law.

CNN doing PR for Johnson here by claiming "the general practice is for presidents, select military officials & select government officials to lie in honor" without noting exceptions. Like Billy Graham. So White preacher gets to lie in state but not Black one?

β€˜A war room’: Inside Epstein’s campaign to influence public opinion Epstein turned to a group of some of his closest confidants to help him counter the public narrative after a Miami Herald investigation.

Here’s a gift link to a Miami Herald story about Epstein’s pals who tried to help him develop a positive spin about his rape of children:
/ Steve Bannon, Trump ally
/ Ken Starr, ex-solicitor general
/ Kathyrn Ruemmler, Obama ex-deputy counsel
/ Michael Wolff, β€œjournalist”
/ Noam Chomsky, academic

Trump promised his tariffs would revive U.S. manufacturing, but we lost 88,000 manufacturing jobs last year.

Plus U.S. imports continued to grow and the trade deficit in goods hit a record high.

All of the chaos amounted to nothing but higher costs for you.

So much for the "Golden Age."

We all owe a huge amount of gratitude to Neal Katyal, a former Solicitor General and attorney who is as smart as they come in Constitutional law.

He is responsible for arguing the case to SCOTUS for the people against the misuse of the tariffs by trump.

I LOVE this guy. He is brilliant. Thank you.

Kash Patel loves three things in this world a) hockey, b) pretending to be a celebrity, and c) using the FBI jet for private purposes. This is a sweet trifecta.

Major drugmaker Bayer β€” which sells the controversial, glyphosate-based weed killer Roundup β€” donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration last year.

Bayer had never before donated to an inaugural committee.

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act.

The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.

That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.

We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

Guys. The people raping the kids created and disseminated QAnon because they knew it would come out and they were trying to control the story. Very common PR tactic. It was Bannon and his creepy crew doing a/b testing on 4chan and 8chan

I'm a law guy, not a politics knower, but "Trump illegally taxed/stole $175 billion from Americans" seems like good messaging.

Trump abused his authority. The power of the purse doesn’t belong to one person β€” tariffs are a tax, and any decision to levy the American people must be made by Congress alone. It wasn’t here, and working families paid the price.

The federal government must return the money it stole to the people.

Here is Patel and Bondi’s controversial July 2025 memo reversing years of prior statements by declaring there was no Epstein client list, no signs he blackmailed anyone and no evidence β€œthat could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”
