BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In America, billionaires can get charges of "elaborate corruption and fraud" dropped entirely if they hire one of the President's personal lawyers and lay $10 billion on the table. What the hell are we doing here, folks?

These are lawless violent vigilantes, not “patriots” or “martyrs.” Trump has already pardoned them. They most certainly should not now get paid from Trump’s proposed $1.7B fund.

I am unspeakably angry about this turnout gap figure, and it gives insight into the whole ballgame for gutting the VRA. Alito points out that Black turnout exceeded White turnout twice in 5 elections. The argument is garbage 1/x

Tel Aviv. Thousands of Israelis are protesting the war, holding "Justice for Palestine" signs. The Zionist regime is so terrified of internal dissent that they are violently arresting their own citizens. Their global narrative is completely collapsing. #cdnpoli

Pres. Trump's latest threats on Truth Social, if carried out, would violate the law of armed conflict as laid out in the Geneva Conventions and the DoD Law of War Manual. It is both irresponsible and wrong to indiscriminately kill civilians in Iran and destroy civilian infrastructure. My statement:

Thank you, NASA! Watching the mean-spirited incompetence of the Department of Defense under Pete Hegseth, DOJ under Pam Bondi, and the Department of Homeland Security under Kristi Noem, and the anti-science ignorance of RFK, Jr. it's a novelty to watch a government agency act competently again.
