Exclusive | The untold reason Kristi Noemโ€™s alleged lover Corey Lewandowski did โ€˜whatever the fโ€“k I wantโ€™ at DHS Embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noemโ€™s top aide and alleged lover Corey Lewandowski bragged that he could do โ€œwhateverโ€ he wanted as a powerful federal official, sources told The Post.โ€ฆ

Corey Lewandowski, on all the liberties he and his lover Kristi Noem took with DHS funds: "Iโ€™m not worried. I do whatever the fuck I want. DJT will pardon me."

This is very likely. Trump needs an excuse to cancel elections. He knows the outcome of a free and fair election would mean the end of his reign as the Mad King, and he and the GOP won't let that happen.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekโ€”and those are the ones we know about. Itโ€™s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

Itโ€™s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Just out @propublica.org: How did the Pentagon make the horrible mistake that left more than 150 school children dead? Perhaps because it cancelled an effort to limit such harm in favor of Hegsethโ€™s lust for โ€œlethality.โ€

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?

Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.

Trump just rolled out a cruel anti-trans prison policy doctors are calling โ€˜dangerousโ€™ A new Bureau of Prisons move requiring that transgender inmates be tapered off their hormones could bring serious health consequences, physicians and advocates warn.

NEWS: The Trump administration is forcing transgender inmates to detransition by implementing a new policy that would withhold their medical treatment in a way that puts clinicians in conflict with ethics and patients in danger.

This is all part of his plan to fuck with the 2026 midterms and exact revenge on those who stopped him from trying to overthrow the 2020 election. When people ask me why Trump is Americaโ€™s enemy, I always start here. Heโ€™s at war against OUR elections. Heโ€™s our enemy.๐Ÿ‘‡

NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greeneโ€™s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).

With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fullerโ€™s 34.5%.

Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.

Trump doesnโ€™t want the American people to know our tax dollars paid for the bombs that obliterated an Iranian elementary school.

Hegsethโ€™s indefensible spending spree to avoid budget decrease while Americans go without healthcare and food. Federal agencies must spend allotted budget or lose it for the following year but they have a rediculous surplus. Pentagonโ€™s list of luxuries is indefensible.

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?

SEVEN. Thatโ€™s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girlsโ€™ school.

Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of โ€œprecisionโ€ you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence.
