Ex-CIA Whistleblower: "The NSA Audited The 2024 Election, Kamala Harris Won" Math doesn’t lieβ€”people do. A buried NSA‑authorized audit paved the way for this unelected illegitimate regime.

Ex CIA whistleblower states
"In December 2024, I was personally involved in an NSA-authorized forensic audit of the 2024 election. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz won--by a wide margin. Trump lost dramatically."

Lets get the rightful president in office!

BREAKING: Kamala Harris, speaking in Australia, warns of the dangers of repeating the global mistakes of the 1930s, emphasizing the importance of international alliances and trust.

The speech ended with a standing ovation.

Bravo to Harvard students

Abdullah Shahid Sial, Lahore, Pakistan;

144. The Supreme Court's Late-Night Alien Enemy Act Intervention Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigationβ€”in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning:

β€œJust before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigationβ€”in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Signal Chat Disclosure Poses Early Test for F.B.I. and Justice Dept. Whether the agencies open an investigation will bring into sharp relief the intended approach of their leaders, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, who promised to administer impartial justice.

18 USC 793(f) makes it a crime to remove national defense information from its proper place through gross negligence. Doesn’t matter whether info was classified. Signal chat is not a proper place.

1. It wasn't fighting for Kamala Harris's win.
2. It was voting to confirm Trump's picks.
3. It was voting to censure Al Greene.
4. It was Chuck Schumer being a doormat.

The Democratic Party needs new, younger, bolder leadership willing to take off the gloves and fight back!

So just to recap: we’re on track to lose $500 billion in tax revenue this year, thanks to gutting the IRS. But waitβ€”it gets better! The GOP is also pushing a $4.5 trillion tax cut… for billionaires. Because obviously they would.

Remember all those times Trump swore he had nothing to do with Project 2025 during the campaign? But now we see it was all part of the grand old plan…

That was the okey-doke. Rewriting the U.S. Constitution is next.

The Sunday shows are keeping it realβ€”Schumer gave away the game for nothing.

Jen Psaki lays out what he could have done. He played this wrong on every level.

And with a Social Security, Medicare, and a tax cut fight coming, do you really want @schumer.senate.gov leading the fight?!

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately.

Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.
