• @realDonaldTrump

• Republicans MUST UNITE behind, “THE ONE, BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL!” Not only does it cut Taxes for ALL Americans, but it will kick millions of Illegal Aliens off of Medicaid to PROTECT it for those who are the ones in real need. The Country will suffer greatly without this Legislation, with their Taxes going up 65%. It will be blamed on the Democrats, but that doesn’t help our Voters. We don’t need “GRANDSTANDERS” in the Republican Party. STOP TALKING, AND GET IT DONE! It is time to fix the MESS that Biden and the Democrats gave us. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
• The Supreme Court has just ruled that the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane, who came into our Country illegally, are not allowed to be forced out without going through a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process...

• But wait, there's more: just hours of entertainment here. Here is a chart of Democrat inflation expectations vs actual inflation surprises. (graph)
  

• @MarioNawful  

• RFK JR. ON VACCINES: “I’M NOT HERE TO CENSOR MYSELF”. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced fire at the Senate hearing this week over his vaccine comments — and didn’t flinch. RFK Jr.: “I’m going to tell the truth about everything we know and we don’t know about vaccines. I am not going to just tell people that everything is safe and effective if I know there are issues. I need to respect people’s intelligence.” Sen. Chris Murphy warned Kennedy’s messaging could tank public trust. “Nobody swims in a lake if you say it’s full of alligators," he said. RFK's reply? “Then maybe they should know about the gators.”
• AI DATA CENTERS ARE ABOUT TO EAT THE ELECTRIC GRID. By 2030, data centers could suck up nearly 1,000 TWh of electricity a year — 4× more than in 2020. That’s more than what Japan uses annually. Accelerated servers (built for AI) are the fastest-growing slice, jumping 10× from almost nothing in 2020 to rivaling all conventional servers by 2030. Cooling alone may top 200 TWh — more than every home in New York City uses. All for LLMs, crypto farms, and, well... cat videos.

• @catturd2

• Yes James Comey was calling for the assassination of Trump. Yes he knew exactly what 8647meant. Yes he put the shells there himself and didn’t just happen to find them on the beach. Yes he knew exactly what he was doing. Yes nobody is buying him playing dumb now.
• Predicting the midterms is easy … If Republicans codify Trump’s agenda, unite, and stand behind the President, they’ll win a landslide. If Republicans continue to do what they’re doing, which is going against Trump’s Cabinet picks, being worthless and lazy, and doing nothing to help Trump, they’ll lose in a landslide. It’s almost like they want to lose.
  

• @StephenM

• Weird how the Supreme Court never ruled that Biden couldn’t import vast armies of illegal alien invaders.

• @GuntherEagleman

• This is heartbreaking. Tom Homan describes a child who was just rescued from a HORRIFIC situation: "We just found one two days ago. A 14-year-old little girl. Living with two adult males. Who trafficked her." "We found her, she’s pregnant. From trafficking being forced into prostitution. 14 years old. We are taking care of her. Both physically and mentally. Despite what the media says, we are not heartless. We care about these kids. I am a father." "That shit is happening every day. We are going to put an end to it. Everything we can do." (video)
• Sources are saying with their lack of action, both @SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune would rather lose the midterms than pass Trump's America First agenda. Let them hear you!!! Get LOUD, call, post, email! All of it! Tell them they suck. (Respectfully of course)
  

• @WarClandestine

• The craziest part about this whole Comey “86-47” thing, is the timing. This happened while Trump is securing peace deals in the Middle East, and negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine. This is not a coincidence. The Deep State do NOT want Trump to bring world peace. Because when he does, not only are their money laundering operations shut down, but Trump will have the overwhelming approval of the American People. (video)

• @kylenabecker

• REMINDER: Maureen Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was a prosecutor on the Epstein case and is now a prosecutor in the Diddy case. There has been no justice for victims and almost no arrests made in either of these high-profile cases.

• @DataRepublican

• EXPOSED: Soros, the Deep State & the Shadow Network. Today, I launched a powerful new tool that indexes the National Endowment for Democracy journal... and here's what it uncovers: Dozen-plus Open Society Foundation staff, funded by George Soros, are writing in a U.S. government-backed journal. That journal is part of our taxpayer-funded National Endowment for Democracy, a quasi-government operation tied to foreign "democracy" missions- and Congress sits on its board. No conspiracy theories. This is hard data. This proves Soros and our intelligence apparatus are deeply intertwined. (pic)

• @IanJaeger29

• JUST IN: Amy Comey Barrett sides with the liberals and blocks President Trump from deporting Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Unreal.
