Real talk on politics—local and national. No fluff, just facts and fire. 💥
The signals are clear: Trump and his minions are not wanted. President Donald #Trump's preferred congressional candidate in Michigan has fallen 20 points behind a competitor who dropped out of the race. Take that to the bank.
Art of the Deal. Before Trump's war, the Strait of Hormuz was open. Now #Trump is negotiating to restore free access. Iran isn't having it. Instead, Iran and Oman are reportedly nearing a deal to reopen the strait, with both countries collecting transit service fees from ships.
Trump/Blanche think that Americans are suckers. They act like no one reads the fine print. Blanche's midnight DOJ memo doesn't rewrite #Trump's May 19 settlement. Agreement says: it "may be modified only with the written agreement of the Parties." No signed agreement. No change.
#Trump blames #Minnesota, not #Iran, for the cyber attacks on the US water systems. He has lost his mind. #BreakingNews
#Trump depicted himself as #JesusChrist. The #Pope was not happy. The #devil laughed.
#Trump Plays the Victim—Capital One Fires Back: Money Laundering Trump says Capital One closed his accounts for political reasons. But in court, the bank says the accounts were closed after an internal review raised anti-money laundering concerns—not politics. #BreakingNews
#Trump says that we're in the Gilded Age. Originally, a period of rapid economic growth but also extreme wealth inequality, political corruption, and powerful monopolies. And he is correct, except for the economic growth part.
#Trump is driving the nation in endless circles over #Iran, desperately looking for an exit strategy—but the only ramp in sight leads straight off a cliff. The voters will show him an exit in November. #Election2026 #Midterms #VoteHimOut #PoliticalSatire
WAR - PEACE - STOCK MARKET When foreign policy starts looking like a stock portfolio... "Is it time for bombing Iran or a cease-fire?" "Let me check the stock market." We should all be concerned. What do you think?
U.S. embassies across the #MiddleEast issued coordinated warnings on Saturday urging American citizens to be prepared to depart the region, citing #Trump's and the #Iranian regime's unpredictable behavior and the potential for rapidly changing security conditions.
The #Trump administration has suffered its 19th consecutive courtroom defeat in its nationwide effort to obtain sensitive voter registration records from states. In November, the people will respond to his shenanigans.
Trump and US Attorney General Pirro lied about the pool fiasco.
This is how some #Republicans think about #SocialSecurity. Senator Tommy Tuberville, an Alabama Republican, on Thursday described Social Security as a "scam" and a "Ponzi scheme." Let that sink in.

Thanks to #Trump, #SaudiArabia now faces hostile actors on every front for the first time in the kingdom's history. He has dug himself into a deep hole with no easy way out.
#Trump spoke to Americans today, and again he lied as usual. It went from thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Investigators believe a cyberattack this week on dozens of municipal water systems in Minnesota was probably the work of #Iranian hackers, according to U.S. and state officials and others familiar with the matter, a potential act of aggression from Iran.
Republicans found $4.5 TRILLION for tax cuts, $144 BILLION for defense, and $79 BILLION for border enforcement. But millions of seniors could face an automatic 22% cut to Social Security. Priorities matter.
#Trump is reportedly willing to sink Todd Blanche's nomination rather than give up a controversial IRS deal that critics say would shield him & preserve a multi-billion-dollar fund. When protecting yourself matters more than confirming your own nominee, priorities become clear.
Rigging the election process is Trump's plan. Trump has been widely accused of planning to rig the 2026 midterm elections, and according to a polling expert, that may be his best chance of not losing control of one or both houses of Congress.
Even Nebraska, Republicans are pissed. Rep. Mike Flood faced an angry town hall as voters demanded answers about healthcare cuts while Republicans delivered tax breaks to the wealthy & corporations. "We're losing democracy-you guys are cowards." "#Congress has lost its backbone."
#AlexJones, a #Trump ally, said Trump should be impeached over the Iran conflict, describing the situation as "absolutely out of control" and warning that the administration is preparing for a national #draft. "This is a disaster. We are facing #tyranny," Jones said Tuesday.

#Trump cares about no one but himself. Even when states met #FEMA's own recommended criteria for disaster assistance after emergencies, Trump denied disaster relief because he viewed their leaders as political adversaries. Trump: the president of #Republicans only.
Trump, reportedly seeking a way out of the #Iran war, paused strikes on Iran in hopes of opening negotiations. Iran's response was an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces in the Middle East. #Trump needs a negotiated settlement more than Iran does. #BreakingNews
