U.S. politics has become a battle between the Democratic Socialists of America and the Undemocratic Socialists of America.
Through historic investments and tariffs, the Trump Administration has generated tremendous wealth for the United States.
Now President Trump, @VP JD Vance and the entire administration want all Americans to be able to participate in this wealth. 🇺🇸
Patriots say we already have it.
MAGA argues we don't.
These same people raising alarms now dismissed Russian invovment completely. It is not about "election integrity" it is blatant partisainism. They have no problem with foreign interference so long as it benefits their party.

Downloaded the declassified intelligence documents proving election fraud in 2020. Absolutely damning stuff from the White House

Not delivering mail for electoral blackmail👇is precisely the kind of unexpected, ‘creative,’ but deeply malign gimmick which makes it so hard to accommodate MAGA within the US political order
Trump constantly looks for holes and cracks in the Constitution which he can exploit, like using ‘acting’ secretaries indefinitely, or not divesting from his businesses or releasing his taxes
Previous presidents followed those norms. No one thought to use the mail as a partisan weapon. The laws & norms around mail are poorly known, bc no one ever thought to try this gambit before.
But now, bc Trump insists on politicizing the bureaucracy, this whole thing will go to court just months before the election. Some Trumpist judge will say maybe there’s something to this. Then, we’ll be forced to have a big national debate about mail service which no one wants to have or knows anything about.
It probably will fail, but only after a long, unnecessary debate over a cheap trick no other president would pull. It will waste lots of national energy which should go into more pressing issues. And it demonstrates, again, that MAGA refuses to accept the nonpartisan rules and norms which bound and limit US political conflict and so make it easier for partisans to get along with each other
🚨BREAKING: Postmaster General David Steiner told senators that, under a new proposed rule, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration democracydocket.com/news-ale…

If this is even remotely accurate it is the worst text of any ever conceived in diplomacy.

Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment with the dedication of the 22-foot statue honoring President Donald J. Trump.
Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone.
This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America.
It also stands as a reminder of the hand of God and His protection over President Trump’s life. Time and time again, when his life was threatened, God’s mercy prevailed.
Today was not just a ribbon cutting. It was the public display of a powerful movement that has spread across America and around the world.
I was deeply honored to serve as President Trump’s main point of contact throughout this process, and I do not take that assignment lightly.
I want to personally thank Ash, Dustin Stockton, Brock Pierce, Hershey Friedman, Yaakov Filitchkin, Sam, Jack, and the 6,000+ Patriots who donated, believed, sacrificed, and made this historic moment possible.
Thank you to the entire Trump Doral team for your incredible hospitality and excellence.
And thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for calling me today and speaking to the crowd. We are forever grateful.
God bless President Trump.
God bless every Patriot.
And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

Me, delivering papers at 13, yelling to my neighbors, "I CONTROL YOU NOW!"
As a reminder, this isn't about "Punchbowl controls Congress."
This is about "Punchbowl, along with Axios, Politico Playbook, and other media outlets launder access via advertising and corporate sponsorships, and that's why Republicans consistently refuse to do the will of their voters." See my other threads on this topic.
I'm sure China will give a similar speech condemning Iran. They're honest brokers, right?
🇨🇳🇮🇱 China, on the Israeli terrorist attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus:
"This is a grave violation of the UN Charter and international law and a breach of the sovereignty of both Syria and Iran. This attack is of an extremely vicious nature... 25 years ago, China's embassy in Yugoslavia was bombed by a US-led NATO airstrike... we feel the grief and pain of the Iranian government and people...
To allow impunity for such reckless acts would send a seriously wrong signal and would encourage even more risky acts... the red line of international law and the basic norms of international relations has been breached time and again, and the moral bottom line of human conscience has been crushed time and again."

I'm struggling to understand the present-day "peace through strength" concept — where some dictators are eliminated, while one particular dictator is offered generous business opportunities and full impunity for genocide.
Matt doesn't add the TAM slide to his pitch deck.
