The Sauds oppose the MB because it is pro-democracy.
You know who has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood? The Qatari government which gave Trump his billion dollar plane. The Saudi Arabian government which gave Trump's son-in-law billions of dollars. Just saying.

No Jan - you got caught red handed trying to help prop up a paid GOP operative who was there to spread false, racist lies about Abdul because he is Muslim. Shame on you.
Earlier, I tweeted a video from an Abdul El-Sayed town hall. I deleted that tweet because it was a violation of CBS News standards. I apologize.

Sadly Katie didn't even make it to Saturday so SNL couldn't parody her. But Canada did. And it's fantastic.

Obama and the Democrats mocked Romney for pointing out that Russia was America’s top geopolitical enemy. MAGA mocks anyone who points out Trump’s long-standing connections and loyalty to Putin. Partisanship blinds and Russia benefits.
“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.

Goodness gracious. Our wedding was in 2010. In Rhinebeck, New York. No taxpayer funds courtesy of President Obama or anyone. I’m sure 2014 in every season was beautiful in the Rose Garden!
Chelsea Clinton was allowed to use the White House's Rose Garden for her wedding in 2014, courtesy of former President Barack Obama. The event ended up costing the taxpayer $1.7 million, which the Clintons were supposed to track and pay. According to last year's DOGE report, they never did, and now a federal judge has made it obligatory. Clinton will pay the original amount plus 12 years of compounded interest at market rates. And the left said DOGE didn't find any fraud. What's your response to this......??👀 MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON X. LET’S GO 👏
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Chelsea Clinton's wedding took place in 2010 at Astor Courts in New York not the White House Rose Garden in 2014. No federal judge has ordered her to repay 1.7 million in taxpayer funds for it with interest and DOGE has stated it has no involvement in such claims. snopes.com/fact-check/che… x.com/DOGE/status/19…

The Washington Post just obtained the internal donor list for President Trump’s ballroom, and there’s one big red flag I wasn’t expecting. It involves Julio Herrera Velutini, an international banker indicted in 2022 on bribery charges tied to Puerto Rico’s former governor. After the 2024 election, his daughter gave $3.5 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. His charges were reduced to a misdemeanor in August 2025. The next month she pledged $2.5 million to the ballroom and paid the first $835,000 in October. In January, Trump pardoned him. That’s just the latest revelation. The other ballroom donor info shows $333 million steered into a White House account the president directly controls, with at least $77 million coming from donors who asked to stay hidden. About half the money came from companies or executives with federal contracts. This whole thing is rotten to the core. wapo.st/4yiUDPx

Please stop infantilizing Zacharia. She’s a 41 year old woman who actively vied for a job she was unqualified for, while lying for years about her resume. Treating her like a victim does her — and women — zero favors.

The contempt for us is just amazing
RFK Jr announces a new initiative to kick people off their healthcare coverage but insists it's no big deal because "they don't even know they were enrolled in anything. They never make a claim."

You know you're an editor when ... you pick up a story and the first sentence misspells a name, repeats a word, or fails to make subject and verb agree. So you sigh, you fix it, and you move on.

This administration sneers at education, the arts, science, and free thought—then claim to defend Western civilization. What exactly are you defending when you despise so much of what makes it worth defending?
Western civilization is worth defending.

I am an affluent white male who was born 62 years ago in Boston, Massachusetts. Both of my parents were born in the USA (Cleveland and Boston) I have lived at the same address for the past 30 years in a medium-sized Midwestern city. I have voted in every national election since 1984 when I was 20 The first time I voted, I showed up at my polling place, gave them my name and was issued a ballot No ID, no verification other than the poll worker looked up my name in the list of registered voters Yesterday I voted. But not before the poll worker expressed concern that my signature that I just made did not match what the machine (an iPad) said was my signature This was >after< I presented my Real ID compliant Indiana driver's license Another poll worker, who I know personally, intervened and I was allowed to vote If MAGA can attempt to disenfranchise me, they will attempt to disenfranchise everyone And with armed federal goons at the polls in 2028, that is exactly what will happen

Approaching my mum's anniversary and remembering how whenever she left Rome, she always tossed a coin into the Trevi Fountain, to return. So what happens to all the coins? They scoop them up twice a week, and it provides €1.5- €2 million a year for food banks and soup kitchens in Rome.

Rich people have no clue, and don't really care, how the average American lives.
BEZOS: “We have real affordability problems.” 48.4% of Amazon workers are paid so little that they’re forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets, like Medicaid and SNAP, to survive. The affordability problem is a billionaire greed problem.

That's not his name and you know it, you racist ghoul. More importantly, Rogers has DESPERATELY tried to separate from Trump, and boy does it look like Trump won't have it. Michiganders - remember who has Trump's "COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT." Vote for the one who doesn't.
