Heed the warning.

Stop calling the $1.8 billion an “anti-weaponization fund.” Call it what it is: A bribe to proven domestic terrorists to strike again if needed.

President Trump said on Saturday that he would revive a proposal for a $1.8 billion so-called anti-weaponization fund that would compensate his supporters if the Senate fails to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general, reigniting a dispute over the settlement.

Daily reminder that we don’t have a president. We have a mob boss masquerading as one.

I lay out these filings in two posts. Zero journalist should be repeating Pirro's filing credulously w/o looking at what happened before Friday.

Davey Hearn is innocent & we hammered the evidence all along If Trump can go after a 67-year-old Olympian over a botched pool renovation, he can go after anyone Every American should take heart that the pushback is working I explain 👇

I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.

I first got 1000+ pages of court documents from Miller & Moreno's custody case. Anybody can request these from Cuyahoga County. I reviewed those by myself, one by one—no AI involved!—and the filings pointed to police reports. I then sought those out separately and spent days combing through them.

This is why they’ll actually cut him loose. Not because he’s a woman-beating monster.

F Capitalism. Do you or your family really need to buy that thing?

There's no reason a politician should have a better healthcare plan than any of their constituents regardless of military service. I say this as a Veteran.

Bernie Sanders: "People are sick and tired of the Democratic establishment and the Republican establishment ... the American people are tired of a rigged economy, a corrupt campaign finance system. They want real change. They don't want Rahm Emanuel and the establishment maintaining the status quo."

Critical context about Trump's speech: Trump knew he lost the 2020 election and criminally conspired to subvert it. That conspiracy was based on knowing lies. Not delusions. Not mistakes of fact. Lies designed to preserve and grow his power.
