So Trump is hosting these official summits (and war rooms) at his Florida resort instead of at the White House. That means his holding company will charge the government astronomical fees for using his resort. He will personally benefit from it. Isn't that against the law?
Unreal road experience today. I pulled over for an ambulance with lights/sirens on, but three drivers behind me just swerved around to keep going, even as the ambulance driver constantly blasted the horn. Pull over, people! 🙄

Companies passed the cost of tariffs down to customers. When will customers see any lower prices? They haven't happened yet.
When asked today about gas prices rising because of his Iran war, Trump replied, 'If they rise, they rise.' Trump also implied it was no big deal that Russia is providing Iran with the location of US forces. I guess Trump will soon allow more oil from Russia. #Politics #ForeignPolicy #GasPrices
It's a sad commentary on the true State of our Union when the Secretary of Homeland Security was fired over a $220 million slush fund she created, but not because two innocent American citizens lost their lives at the hands of ICE agents. She shouldn't have blamed Trump for the money. $$$ talks.
I’ve had a run of dreams over the past five nights centered on 'the road not taken' and old regrets. It’s funny how the mind chooses the relatively quiet moments in life to start its most intense filing and review process. Anyone else find their subconscious getting a bit too reflective lately?
As seen on another social media platform, Trump's choice for Iran's next leader: Mullahnia
You can't logic someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves into. In the past, one of my favorite pastimes on social media was arguing with people about politics. But, it's become a "lost cause" sport. Life is too short for that.
About Trump's illegal war, we're not thinking enough about critical support systems, like USAID, UN funding, & regional embassies, that have been dismantled or left vacant, hindering the ability to manage refugees or regional fallout. There is a huge humanitarian crisis unfolding. Trump has no plan.
The Constitution is clear: Only Congress can declare war and fund it. The President cannot act indefinitely without the 535 members of Congress paying the bills. When the Pentagon asks for emergency funds - and they are coming - Congress must exercise its power and say no. #WarPowers #Constitution
First, they claimed Iran would build a nuclear weapon within two weeks—a claim rejected by U.S. intelligence. Then, it was because Israel forced our hand. When that spaghetti didn't stick to the wall, it was because Iran tried to assassinate Trump. They're just hoping something sticks.
Trump's war with Iran is reportedly costing $1 billion per day, despite the administration previously claiming "peace in the Middle East." So far, we're at least $5,000,000,000 in the hole. That's a lot of zeroes. The Pentago will soon approach Congress with their hat in hand.
We've all seen this one before, but it just seems more true as each day progresses.
I believe Melania should be subpoenaed to testify, but this is a complex issue. The Spousal Testimonial Privilege might prevent Congress from compelling her to testify against her husband. And that sucks. And, both she and Donald know it works in their favor.
I'm confused because it seems Trump's reasons for invading Iran change several times a day. At first, it was nation-building; then it was the unfounded fear of imminent attack by Iran; then, it was Israel that was forcing Trump's hand. Then it was back to regime change. Now it's not. Whiplash!
Reports from the military suggest some commanders are swapping tactical manuals for end-times theology. It appears leadership is framing a conflict with Iran as divine. If they feel anointed to spark Armageddon, it likely becomes easier to justify using the military against our own civilians.
In today's grilling of Kristi Noem, Tillis wondered why she speaks so recklessly to the media. It’s simple: she has an audience of one: Donald Trump. As a lifelong Democrat, I agreed with 99% of Tillis’s critique, but I’m disappointed he still refused to name the real problem: Trump himself.
I hear you. The lack of accountability and the constant cycle of scandals is exhausting. We can’t let this corruption become the 'new normal.' The most effective way to demand change and restore integrity is at the ballot box. Every Democrat must vote this November.
This is one reason I will not travel abroad while Trump and his administration are in power. If something happens while visiting another country, your country's government will not help you. You will be on your own, just like the Americans in at least two countries in the Middle East (and counting).
Hillary Clinton: Your investigation is supposed to be assessing the handling of the prosecutions of Epstein. This failure is designed to protect one political party and one public official rather than to seek justice for the victims. My heart breaks for the survivors and I am furious on their behalf
Oh, we crossed into Twilight Zone territory way back in November 2024 when convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and likely pedophile Trump was re-elected.
Michelle Obama never had to sit in for her extremely competent husband. Trump is incontinent, senile, and literally rotting away (i.e. his rotting neck skin issue).
#SendBarron
I remember 1993 pretty clearly when Hillary Clinton took on healthcare. The GOP went into an absolute frenzy. It’s funny how times change. Now we have a former model/escort and First Lady filling in at the UN for Trump. The silence is deafening.
#Politics
Republicans are fired up about Trump's military operation, but I’m not hearing much about the bill. Congress hasn't specifically funded it. We are talking real lives and hardware. I'd like to hear more talk from Democrats on how Congress pays for it.

It's not real.
