Trump argues that China has a ballroom so he should have one too

New in PN: Trump's lies disgrace everyone around him "When they parrot Trump’s lies verbatim, his lackeys must know in their hearts that they’re abasing themselves. That’s the price of pleasing the Liar-in-Chief—a president who has reduced truth-telling in the White House by 600 percent."

A slush fund he controls.

New Apostolic Reformation dominionist Lou Engle is joining Speaker Mike Johnson in "rededicating" America to God on Sunday. Engle, who prayed for God to knock off Supreme Court justices to create vacancies for Trump, preaches that “The church’s vocation is to rule history with God."

I’m seeing a whole lot of playing dumb when it comes to Spencer Pratt. Dude lectures LA about struggle and lying about living in a trailer. But he’s actually staying at the Hotel Bel-Air. $1000+/night. WHERE ARE HIS ACTUAL PLANS? The dude is a scammer!

This is what authoritarianism looks like at the local level: frightened adults abusing public power to crush expression and trample the First Amendment.

Where’s his housing plan? Where’s his transit plan? Where’s his public safety plan? Where’s his budget plan? Where’s his workforce plan?

@mrglobaltoo.bsky.social I'm looking for you video on the explanation of what Brent crude oil prices mean versus the "markets" crude oil prices. I took a stab, but I got lost in the ticktok of it all.

Of course.

Thank you Beth 💗

MAGA is currently celebrating the fact that… Trump took a sip of alcohol, and acting like he just cured world hunger. It’s a fucking cult.

Trump and the GOP are going full racist—rigging the political system to disempower Black voters in order to hang on to power— and not even bothering to hide it.

I was raised on 90s gushers commercials. it is my destiny to be extreme and fruity.

This item I shared earlier today, about “homebuilders nearing multi-year lows as rates continue to grind higher”? Well, rates look primed to grind even higher. Buckle up.

Wow, they landed Billy Graham's son, Jerry Falwell's son, *and* Pat Robertson's granddaughter? What are the odds?! Sad that Tim LaHaye's niece couldn't get off work, though.

We all look the same to them.

His Next Medical.

The president is negotiating against his own administration to shake down taxpayers for $10 billion. The corruption meter is flashing red and sounding the alarm. ca.news.yahoo.com/doj-consider...

Speaking the obvious outlaid. We know he only cares about his own wealth. Release ALL the Epstein files and impeach DJT.

The corruption is beyond anything we have ever seen.

The question isn't rhetorical: How does a registered sex offender under house arrest for soliciting prostitution from a minor continue to sexually abuse women for three years without anyone stopping him? The answer is: institutional failure at every level. The judge, law enforcement, wealth.
