Anyone accepting a $5,000 “GOP Dividend” from Trump for voting is looking at a $10,000 fine and 5 years in jail. It's illegal to offer, give, or accept money for voting. 52 U.S.C. §10307(c) Trump has already violated this law. But voters they will never be liable because they will never get paid.

It's a scandal that the president of the United States is out of his damn mind. It's also a scandal that major news media aren't telling you that, loudly and often.

The “Hormuz Strait is open. We control the strait. There are no mines.” Red arrows are tankers. Green arrows are cargo. Dots are anchored. White area is wide open strait without ships transiting, pre-war 130/day. Marine Traffic app.

Everyone who has ever served in the military should NOT vote for anyone in the Republican Party! This is despicable, depricating, disgusting, detestable and stupid. Until you’ve spent 250+days in the Strait of Hormuz you have not walked in their shoes!

🚨 FOX MOCKS SAILORS: Fox News host Joey Jones lashed out at U.S. sailors speaking out about dire conditions aboard the USS Lincoln, calling them “weak” and warning America has “nothing left.”

The government we see today is one run by and for billionaires. They don’t care about affordable healthcare, well-paying jobs, or quality education. They only care about making themselves richer at the expense of everyday Americans.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

This president is not just unpredictable; he’s lethal in his whims, ignorance, and grievances (real and imagined). He’s like a chimpanzee with a machine gun. You have no clue what he’ll do next, but you know it’s likely to hurt or even kill a lot of innocent people.

If I was NATO I’d say to the US, don’t let the door hit you on your way out! Don’t they understand that even if we’re in NATO they can’t depend on our president to support them? He’s a LIAR!

Now it’s my turn to use expletives. Are you f-cking kidding me?

Oh noooo. Hegseth is comparing the airman to Jesus because he was shot down on Good Friday, hid in a cave on Saturday, and was pulled into the sky on Easter Sunday. Uggghhhhhhh

Why oh why does the media even report that “Trump is considering winding down the war”? Haven’t they learned that when he says things like “soon”, “we’ll have it in two weeks”, etc. he never follows through? I’m beginning to think the stockbrokers are catching on, at least.

The deficit is shooting up. The stock market is falling fast. Gas prices are shooting up. New job creation is at a stand still. He’s the best president ever of all time ever and forever, right?

So, how’re y’all’s 401Ks doing this week? I haven’t heard Trump mention those or the stock market. Prices of all goods going up, stock market going down. Are you winning bigly yet?

This truly disgusts me! As an older person I had to get over how rude it was to wear your hat at the table and now he’s done this! Well, he did say they’re losers. Wake up MAGA. He doesn’t give a shit about you either!

On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the US does not plan to strike Iran’s oil industry or other energy infrastructure sites. Maybe they should get Israel in on that plan. Flaming oil in the streets. 10,000,000 barrels burned up.

Trump told ABC News that the spike in gas prices is “a little glitch.” He called the rapid climb in prices an expected “detour.” Just remember that when gas reaches $5/ gallon this week. It’s just a glitch and you won’t even notice.

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

Dear @antheopic.com, please hold your position against mass surveillance no matter what the Pentagon does. Claude is the best AI and my go to. I would really hate to have to worry about what I discuss with Claude going to this administration. I know some say everything is already public, but please!

We should martyr Rene Good and Alex Pretti with a stadium funeral ceremony, speeches about their heroism, name streets and whatever else after them. make as much of it as the Republicans did for he-that-shall-remain-nameless.

It’s just that obvious. How can anyone claim otherwise? Oh, but they do.

NY Times review of shooting confirms DHS agent removed gun from Alex Pretti BEFORE first shot fired. See below from NY Times: "The agent in the gray coat removes the weapon...Then, while Mr. Pretti is on his knees and restrained the agent standing directly above him fires" shots. This is MURDER!
