π¨Everything Trump has said about the Qatar plane is a LIE.
Amazing story in the Post.
- Qatar did NOT offer it, Trump requested it
- Qatar expected a sale, not a βgiftβ
- US Air Force says itβs in poor condition
- $1.5 billion to make it useable
- $500 million ADDITIONAL cost for Trump to keep it.
More than 400 anti-Trump rallies planned in another wave of US protests

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. Weβre already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation.
When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for.
Unacceptable.

SAVE Act just passed House. It is modern-day poll tax that would disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans, end online, mail + voter registration drives & require voters to register in person at election offices, forcing some rural voters to drive 8 hours to register. Total disaster in every way

In just four days, Dr. Khan Suri was transferred among five different ICE facilities across three states, despite the fact that ICE records indicate there were beds in Virginia facilities. Dr. Khan Suri was fasting in religious observance of Ramadan, but multiple ICE facilities refused him food or water to break his fast. For almost two weeks, he was housed in a room without a bed and with a television blaring 21 hours a day. Dr. Khan Suri was issued used underwear, and a bright red uniform that is usually reserved for detained individuals who have been classified as βhigh securityβ based on their criminal history or alleged affiliation with criminal organizations. He is not permitted to work or spend more than two hours per week outside of his dorm.
Georgetown scholar Dr. Khan Suri, who was abducted by ICE, was refused food/water to break Ramadan fast, housed in a room without a bed, and issued *used* underwear.
His child cried for days after he was taken and has since stopped speaking.

An American flag flies above a street in Vilnius as police outriders surround hearses transporting the bodies of the US servicemen. 100s of locals are seen lining the street.
Incredibly moving. 1000s of Lithuanians lined the streets of the capital Vilnius yesterday to honor the four US soldiers killed on their soil.
As their bodies are repatriated to the US, their President will be nowhere to be seen, except on a Florida golf course.

The post by Marco Rubio Met with Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen in Brussels today to talk about the defense priorities shared by our two nations. We discussed the importance of increasing burden sharing within NATO and addressing threats to the Alliance.
A post by Lars LΓΈkke Rasmussen Honest and direct meeting with @SecRubio yesterday. I made it crystal clear that claims and statements about annexing Greenland are not only unacceptable and disrespectful. They amount to a violation of international law.
This is what you call two different readouts of the same meeting.
Go Denmark, Go Greenland!
True.
Also true that a lot of Americans burned things the last five years. Our militarized police attacked them and I believe there are credible accounts of assassinations.

A meme of the infamous meeting in the Oval Office with Zelensky as Trump and Vance dismissively put their hands up to him. But he has been replaced with a penguin to mock Trumpβs tariff against uninhabited islands, home to only penguins.
