Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.

KILMEADE: You think Putin is helping Iran?

TRUMP: I think he might be helping them a little bit, yeah, & he probably thinks we're helping Ukraine, right?

K: You are, right?

T: Yeah, we're helping them also, & so he says that, & China would say the same thing. It's like, hey, they do it & we do it

Amanda didn't take the job. But some other folks might have. Here's a creator, The Woke Ginger, reciting specific attacks from the brief. He urges followers “to look past viral personalities and ask who is running and why” — a quote (see first skeet) matching a suggested quote in the brief.

Two things here.

One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well.

Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

If the infrastructure is not taken out and the money is not taken away why should Iran come to the peace table. They are taunting us with $200 oil. They do not have the cards; our military must be unleashed. Time to do what we did to Hanoi...to get them to the table

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Racism is a way for mediocre unimaginative people to feel transgressive and edgy because they’re too banal to come up with an original or interesting way.
