Unfortunately, everyone who predicted the rapture still seems to be here

Pretty clear that a lot of people jumped the gun on the motive behind Kirk’s assassination. The shooter:

1. Grew up in a Republican family
2. Donated to Donald Trump
3. Loved guns
4. Was steeped in Groyper culture

This isn’t a simple “raging leftist hated Kirk” scenario.

Hear hear!!!

Nancy Pelosi’s husband was brutally attacked in an act of political violence. She never called for revenge. The left didn’t seek violence against the right.

She’s urging the opposite: calm the rhetoric, listen to our better angels, and stop the slide into chaos.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Extortion of Nobel Prize is Hall of Fame level abuse of office. Every single Democrat should be mocking this clown for being so fragile, so insecure, so weak, and so openly corrupt.

DC man accused of throwing sandwich at federal officer released from custody Sean Dunn, accused of throwing a sandwich at a federal officer, is released on his own recognizance as the judge finds the felony charge excessive.

Subway sandwich guy has been released on his own recognizance.

Leaked chart, dropped by Politico, shows winners and losers in California’s redistricting—AKA retribution—and I’m here for it. 👀

This wouldn’t even be on the table if Trump and Texas Republicans weren’t trying to steal seats from Black and Brown communities. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Bondi Tightens Trump Administration’s Grip on D.C. Police

"To enforce President Trump's immigration crackdown" my ass.

If you think this is about illegal immigration rather than a concerted effort to establish control over law enforcement and create a military presence in DC so as to hold on to power after losing an election, think again.

Gift link.

Epstein footage was likely two separate videos that were stitched together, not raw data.

There was an entrance to Epstein’s portion of the prison that was not covered by released cameras, and the cameras that would have provided a better view “malfunctioned”

Convenient.

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated?

We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.

The “revised down” numbers are just an admission of lies that they carried to pass the most destructive bill in recent history. Energy prices climbing, student loan processing up, healthcare cost increasing, and food. Now new tariffs. He builds a $200M tacky ballroom. This is the New Gilded Age.

Israel threatened reprisals if the press filmed Gaza from above during airdrops.

Donald Trump Shoots the Messenger Classic authoritarian move: When reality doesn’t go your way, deny reality.

Durham’s Debunking of the ‘Clinton Plan’ Emails, Explained

Trump allies have fixated on a purported message about Hillary Clinton and Russia. John H. Durham, the special counsel, found evidence that it was likely a fake assembled by Russian spies.

Trump Today:

1. Made deal to move Maxwell to cushy min security Club Fed facility.

2. Had worst jobs report come out in a decade.

3. Said report was rigged & fired govt employee who made the report.

4. Moved 2 nuke subs off Russia to threaten them.

5. Flew to a golf outing.

To recap: More than 1,000 FBI agents were assigned to comb through the Epstein Files to flag any mentions of Trump’s name for higher-ups. The FBI then redacted Trump’s name from the files before ultimately deciding not to release the documents.

COVER UP!!!

But Trump said China was going to pay the tariffs.

Trump gets tariffs; Americans get price hikes U.S. President Donald Trump is getting his tariffs. Companies are making it clear how they intend to deal with it - passing them on to American consumers.

Trump gets his tariffs. You get the bill.

From Tide detergent to new cars, companies are passing the cost to you.

Prices are rising, profits are falling, and Main Street hasn’t even felt the worst of it yet.

These tariffs are just a tax on the American people. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Let’s talk. Watch this and let’s chat on the other side.

📌 Do you think America will be ready to vote for a woman in ‘28? Because they said no in ‘24. And nothing about this country feels more ready now.

📌 What about a Black woman?

📌 A Black man?

Harris was my 1st choice in ‘20, again in ‘24.

Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama:

"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

So just to be clear - the “protect the kids” party is now shutting the government down to protect sexual predators? Do we have this right?

they literally shut the government down in order to avoid the truth about Epstein. an entire branch of government isn’t working for the American people b/c they are terrified of the truth.

Let that sink in for a sec.
