The guy spending the money says the spending is the problem?

Trump in Nevada: “Michael Whatley should be your governor.” Minor detail: Whatley is running for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina. 25th Amendment now!
Trump don’t even know where he is. Funny, because that’s exactly what he used to say about Joe Biden.

Donald, here’s the thing about suing the press: it’s the most expensive way ever invented to buy someone else’s headline. Same judge, same ruling, second verse. You just paid seven figures to advertise their paper. Nice work!
ICE changed its policies to hide deaths of detained individuals and keep the number of publicly-reported fatalities as low as possible. By "releasing" people from their custody right before they die, ICE avoids having to report or investigate these deaths - and they hide the truth from the public.
@timmiller.bsky.social: "Abdul El-Sayed does not say that he's a socialist…Republicans are gonna try to turn him into a socialist…I find it very galling that all this is happening while Donald Trump is running the country as a MAGA socialist."
"Trump’s frustration over the Iran war boiled over at Camp David, where he demanded answers from Hegseth on why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options ... "Hegseth defended himself and blamed his deputy for the shortages ... "
Trump, Hegseth clashed at Camp David over Iran missile depletion concerns
At a Camp David summit this weekend, President Trump demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over extreme munitions shortages.

I’d guess that Trump has started wearing a wig. Just pay attention in recent and upcoming appearances…and see what you think.
Trump's having some BBC problems, unlike the shameful bribe paying cowards in the US media. His BBC problems will be a bit different once he's in prison...
If Mitch McConnell could talk, he would have recorded a video message by now.
El-Sayed: "They think they want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen man, If you can't say the name -- it's Abdulrahman -- keep the name out your damn mouth."
This is how we treat our military? Maybe Hegseth and the felon should ration their meals and take showers in moldy showers. #USDemocracy www.ms.now/news/conditi...
Moldy showers and no soap: Military families are outraged by conditions on USS Lincoln
The aircraft carrier's long deployment in the Iran war is raising concerns that the sailors and Marines on board are facing poor conditions, low supplies and fatigue.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
We proved it in Wisconsin. We proved it in New York City. We proved it in dozens of special elections over the past year. People power over money!

If he's posted anything more disgusting than this, please show it to me. I want to see it. 😡
The Lincoln Project@lincolnproject.us · 12h agoDraft dodger cosplays with stolen valor
Asked about Rep.Max Miller, Trump said, “I feel badly for him.” I think that was spoken from one scum bag…to another.
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.
The New Mexico attorney general is suing the DOJ and Blanche for jamming up the Epstein files.
Trump held more than 300 bank accounts, approximately 300 to 385 accounts with Capital One prior to closure in 2021 because of suspected money laundering. Wow, that's even more than the number of cellphones he had during his Epstein years.

First of all, this is a stupid lie. Second, Donald is intentionally *raising* the cost of prescriptions. He is cruelly about to cut Medicare subsidies for drugs.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9h agoTrump: "I don't get credit for anything. Even prescription drug prices, where they're down 600 percent."
Tommy Tuberville says he’s gonna build a 30 foot wall around Alabama, or as I like to call it, Walabama.
Donald Trump cares more about making Vladimir Putin happy than he cares about doing what he promised those who voted for him. Read that again. It’s gut wrenching.
Tuberville: "If we don't straighten out this country's voting and immigration system, we're not gonna make it. It's gonna be over. I'm gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state."
Sound like he's saying Trump is failing miserably as a leader.
