Election denier involved in fake electors plot wrote much of SAVE America Act, Trump-aligned think tank claims โ€œIโ€™m here to do everything I can to make this work,โ€ Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaignโ€™s fake electoral plot in Arizona.

I want to know who his wife voted for. I want him to get home to his wife, but I want to know who she voted for. Lot's of right wing Irish Americans in the Boston area.

JFC, all he does is lie about the elections and complain. Remember Trump claimed the Emmys were rigged when he didn't win for The Apprentice.

The Trump administration has effectively blocked all non-citizens from the federal government's small business loans, which could spell further trouble for the economy.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social , because Speaker Johnson is a white "Christian" nationalist. That's why he is an election denier.

 The growing number allegations of misconduct by DHS employees in
 Minnesota and elsewhere raises an obvious question. What is DHS
 Inspector General Joseph Cuffari doing? As a former Inspector
 General, myself, and having worked with and actually investigated a
 number of Inspectors General over my 20 year tenure on the Hill, his
 office's silence is troubling. Having been in his position since 2019, he
 seems well positioned to carry out his statutory duties to "conduct
 independent and objective investigations related to DHS programs and
 operations" and to keep the "Secretary and Congress currently
 informed about problems and deficiencies in DHS programs and
 operations".
 ' That said, one wonders what his office of over 775
 employees are doing? Hopefully, they are busy at work and just being
 stealthy in carrying out their responsibilities. When Congress has their
 oversight hearings, I hope he is one of the first witnesses and asked to
 explain what his investigation has uncovered. As a statutorily
 "independent" Inspector General, he and his office are the first line of
 defense to report on what we are seeing every day on the nightly news
 about apparent problems at DHS. The American taxpayer should be
 able to count on him to look into these allegations and report his
 findings to Congress and the Administration. That is his job.

NYC homeless freeze to death in the icy grip of Mamdaniโ€™s โ€˜warmth of collectivismโ€™ The mayorโ€™s sticking by his order to cops and other city workers to leave encampments alone last weekend and not force the homeless to come in out of the deadly cold.

the thing about this headline is it sounds like the New York post is complaining about Mamdani when really anyone whoโ€™s ever read the post knows most of the staff want these people to freeze to death
