This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.

"Cool dude, see you in discovery!" is the obvious UNO Reverse card to Trump's attempts to bully organizations by suing them for a trillion dollars. It's a massive indictment of the US system that one after another institutions and major organizations settled and paid bribes rather than play it.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

There's no valid reason that if McConnell were alive that he would not be physically present at Graham's funeral. Even if that meant showing up in a wheelchair. Strom Thurmond was basically a vegetable and his staff still wheeled him around to important functions and voted for him. Mitch is dead.

If implemented, this would set a major precedent. Instead of relying on the existing transit framework, Hormuz becomes a monetized chokepoint. There are dozens of narrow maritime passages worldwide, but only 7 are critical to global trade and energy flows. Are they next?

The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter X.com BREAKING: Iran is demanding a fee of 7% on all commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, with Chinese and Russian vessels exempt from the fee, while Oman is discussing smaller fees of around 3% and the US wants no fees at all, per Reuters and an Iranian source. A senior Iranian official says the proposed deal gives Iran control over ships entering the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, and is "one of the biggest concessions yet to Iran," meaning "the war launched by the United States and Israel in February had resulted in a major shift in the balance of regional power in Tehran's favour." Another Iranian source however cautions that "the devil is in the details" and that "a single tweet from Trump could cause the whole thing to collapse."

Look at Trump's serial failures, his obvious decline, the disastrous poll numbers for the GOP, the abysmal quality of their candidates, their complete absence of accomplishments, their betrayal of their base, the absence of post-Trump leaders emerging...and tell me the Dems are the ones w/problems.
