WATCH β @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoemβs spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlinβs husbandβs company that had just been formed.
She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.
Yet itβs barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"
Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life β as E. Jean Carroll can attest

This seems like a good time to remind voters that just 20 Republican senators could end this global nightmare today if they took their oaths seriously.
Stop blaming Democrats.

Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.
Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News
We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. Thatβs more than enough data to comp...
The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.
The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch
An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.
What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?
Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

Donald Trump seems inclined to start a war with Iran, which would expend massive amounts of treasure and kill countless innocents, for...what, exactly? Why is this in the US interest? Their nuclear ambitions can be controlled. Is he mad about the regime killing protesters? It's happening here, too.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin OβLeary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, βObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and βvirtue-signaling.ββ The post quotes OβLeary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. Itβs always a matter of will not resources.
