NEW: The biggest welfare scam in the country is run by a consulting giant. Deloitte has made over $6 billion running error-prone eligibility systems that make it harder for Americans to get the healthcare and food aid they rely on. We investigated the big business of welfare.

Anyone suggesting we should stop accurately pointing out factual ways that the president is wrecking this country on a daily basis, or expressing an opinion about that, because of something a random nut does is espousing a profoundly un-American concept that I completely reject.

The intent is to end the UN, and this Board would now be controlled by a wealthy few and be funded $10b by US taxpayers‼️ This can’t be constitutional‼️

🚨Lemon is being charged under the FACE Act, which has historically been used to prosecute those who impede access to abortion clinics. But it also criminalizes interference @ houses of worship. Days into 2nd term, Trump pardoned 24 anti-abortion activists convicted under FACE 👇

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE: Minnesota National Guard under Gov Walz's command will not be wearing facemasks and will have reflective vests on. This will distinguish them from the people cosplaying for ICE/CBP/DHS.

PHILLY DA Larry Krasner warns ICE agents in wake of the Minneapolis shooting: "If any law enforcement agent, any ICE agent is gonna come to Philly to commit crimes, then you can get the F out of here." "I will charge you with those crimes. You will be arrested. You will stand trial. You will be convicted." "Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction. Do you hear me, ICE agents?" "There are honest, decent moral law enforcement officers out there by the bushel, including in ICE. This is not for you. This is for any one of your colleagues who thinks they are above the law."

Marjorie Taylor Greene didn’t just resign. She was strategically removed...quietly...cleanly...and ahead of schedule. People don’t abandon power. Power abandons them. I broke down the operational phases of the removal here:

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else. Republicans said no. So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS. Republicans OWN this shutdown.

BREAKING: You can’t make this up: A 155mm artillery shell prematurely detonated during a Marine Corps demo — raining shrapnel onto cops guarding VP JD Vance. Trump’s team mocked Newsom for closing I-5 “for no reason.” Turns out Newsom’s safety call may have just saved lives. Competence vs chaos.
