But texting about sending the 82 Airborne into Portland in plain view of someone able to video the exchanges and capture enough evidence that the @startribune.com could verify isn’t all! There’s also this

Brand New Key

BUT...they kept the gun logo

Never has a group developed so complete a hearing problem as Republicans confronted with actual words that Trump has said over the last decade.

I hate to be petty but man there are absolutely some editors and publishers in my past who I hope notice that my kickstarter funded in 3.5 hours.

Plato reminds me the gods endowed men with two arts, cultural and physical, “not for the soul and body separately, but together, that they may be in harmony with one another by tension and relaxation.”

This is very, very bad.

Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Trump: "I'm very careful when I walk down stairs, like I'm on stairs, I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record. Just try not to fall because it doesn't work out well."

Trump’s approval in the swing states is abysmal open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

Trump, speaking to military leaders, on Democrats: "They're bad. A lot of bad people."
