Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint. They are all terrified of King Donald.

In a Truth Social post, President Trump said he directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to send U.S. troops to Portland, Oregon. Mayor Keith Wilson dismissed the threat, calling it “a big show of force, and nothing more.”

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.
