Meanwhile, Trump called NBC and said he thinks Iranian leadership has been eliminated. Yet the only source behind this information is Israel. Confirmations needed.
โDonald J. Trump โ has released the dogs of war on one of the most dangerous countries in the world, and done it without the consent of Congress or our allies, or even a clear explanation to the American people.โ

Every American company should look at Anthropic as a model. Stop caving to Trump. Trump is out of office in under three years and Americans will remember for a lifetime.

MASSIVE BREAKING: The United States Supreme Court has just struck down Trump's ILLEGAL tariffs.
We've been telling you Trump does not have the authority to implement these tariffs without Congress.
The Supreme Court, 3 justices which are appointed by Trump, just ruled that he broke the law!
๐จNot Surprisingly: A clip of Rep. Ted Lieu is going viral where he confirms there are serious allegations of Donald Trump R*PING a children and threatening to MURD*R them. Share this.
This is what Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche tried to hide from us all along. They need to resign and be in prison.
What happened to the US system of checks and balances? Will it take decades for our laws to take their course concerning Randy Trump?
