Hundreds of Jewish people and their and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting, “We want justice. You say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and, “Fight Nazis, not students!” The ICE arrest of Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil has spawned this immediate and ongoing civil disobedience.

DOGE: Fake Savings Elon’s DOGE keeps claiming savings and taking credit for canceling contracts that ended years ago. 🔘 Canceled a 2005 Coast Guard contract—but it ended two decades ago. Claimed $53.7M in “savings.” 🔘 Canceled a $14M contract that ended in 2021. This isn’t savings—it’s fraud.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.
