GOP Sen. Thom Tillis calls the new Trump/DOJ $1.776 Bn slush fund "stupid on stilts." "These people assaulted police officers, admitted their guilt, were convicted. Now we're going to pay them for that?!?!" He calls it what it is: "tyranny,” and corruption on steroids!

They will always put corruption over Americans.

ICYMI MEET Republican Representative Blake Moore from Utah "Our Republican PRIORITY will always be to put Government ahead of Americans... Understand America.. Just wanna make sure you know YOU DON'T MATTER

This is a true statement and we’ve got to get the vote out to stop this madness.

Today, as my newest book is released, nearly three-fourths of the world’s people live under authoritarian rule. Many of those authoritarian rulers are pushing a conspiracy theory that tells people that their life, their job, their status, their nation is all being lost, slipping away.

And don’t forget the bitcoin farms that consume enough energy to power small cities!

The facial recognition Palantir app used by ICE is called Mobile Fortify, and it’s highly inaccurate. It’s just another excuse to racially profile and stop immigrants. #MomSky #SheShed www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

My neighbor was asking me why I was watering my plants because we were supposed to get rain today. Sir, I’m trying to grow my own food. Like me, they need water to live. Chance of rain went from 70% to 40% and so there’s a good chance we will see nothing.

This seems bad.

If only this were a nightmare we could wake-up from UNFORTUNATELY THIS is our reality… donOld has signed an EO that requires BANKS to ✅ citizenship of their customers, a new measure in his administration’s push to clamp down on ppl living in the country illegally. youtu.be/vUHIRYvmnBo?...

Trump's about to do an EO on AI, and how the government will secure and use it. This would be a good thing with any other admin, but I never trust the motives of this one. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Yes, Section 4 of the 14th Amendment prohibits the U.S. government from paying any debt or obligation incurred to aid an insurrection or rebellion. It also forbids paying claims for the loss or emancipation of any enslaved person.
