In any other administration, a woman who took money from the Russian government to influence U.S. media being welcomed at the president’s private estate would be a massive scandal. https://mrf.lu/2-GS0

Why doesn't our media mention this? "We are waiting for the President of the United States, who has lied to the American people countless times, to tell us what led to this catastrophic event."
📌And WHY would we believe any explanation for just what in the hell is going on in America from a man who has lied -- make that LIED -- to us thousands and thousands of times???

You know things aren’t going well when the return of endemic measles doesn’t even crack the top five headlines of the day.
It’s funny how the basic question is “Is this a malicious state actor in the sense of a cyberattack by a hostile foreign power, or is it a malicious state actor in the sense of our own government’s ongoing efforts to break things we need and that used to work?”
An update to the FAA’s private communications network caused the system to reboot and crash, triggering an air traffic control communications outage, CBS News reports. The network is operated by L3Harris.
The FDA: measles outbreaks, diarrhea lettuce The FAA: breaks flying altogether The Dept of Commerce: helping funnel chips to China Dept of Defense: somehow losing a war it started Dept of State: siding with Russia over our allies What a complete clownshow.
The combo of DOGE cutbacks and AI seems to be really f*cking things up. Air traffic nationwide grounded and now this: www.news9.com/oklahoma-cit...
This is one of those days when it would have been preferable to have had *competent* people in the executive branch who could both inform and reassure us. Instead, it's just ignorant amateurs up and down the ranks.
Rep. Stansbury: I know people are angry... folks need to understand that the Republicans had fully planned to keep that vote open so that Pete Hegseth would not be impeached. We are planning to reintroduce impeachment—Pete Hegseth will be impeached and removed one way or another.

Lutnick is clearly being set up as the fall guy here. The question is if Trump is smart enough to let him get knifed or if he'll insist the illegal smuggling operation was 'a perfect deal.'
