Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail. “It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Please.” w/@DanaMattioli @drewhinshaw @JoeWSJ wsj.com/politics/policy/guil…

It’s amazing that in America today serious questions would be raised about a person’s fitness for office because of their chosen faith. An American who happens to practice Judaism, Islam, Hinduism or Buddhism shouldn’t have to endure the kind of BS we see in political discourse.

10 years ago today GOP Sen. Mike Lee: “If anyone spoke to my wife, or my daughter, or my mother, or any of my five sisters, the way Mr. Trump has spoken to women, I wouldn’t hire that person, wouldn’t want to be associated with that person, and I certainly don’t think I’d be comfortable hiring that person to be the leader of the free world.”

Replying to @SecRubio
Israeli Knesset member Naama Lazimi claims Netanyahu issued a stand-down order and ignored key security protocols before the attack. Lazimi went further, calling Netanyahu “a plague” and “an enemy within.”

Alert to @jdvance waste, fraud and abuse team - who gets arrested here? Where do we get our taxpayer money back? Is this something @kristinoem and @CLewandowski_ ever pay for?
ICE is now selling seven warehouses it bought to use as detention centers. The agency spent more than $700 million acquiring the properties, and it might have to sell at a loss, wasting millions of taxpayer dollars.

Charles Barkley: “I think one of the worst things about Trump, he’s made it popular to be racist. There’s no consequences for being racist now. A lot of people are wearing it with a badge of courage. He never denounces it. Nah, he should denounce it. He’s made it more acceptable to be racist”

Trump's stock portfolios are up. The Mar-a-Lago crowd is thriving. Elon got his government contract. The billionaires who backed this whole operation got exactly what they paid for. Everyone else is still waiting...

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

.@TheRickWilson is here to remind you: No president in their right mind would bait a terrorist to attack Los Angeles and San Diego. It’s not a joke.

I posted this before the 2024 presidential election. I wish I had been totally wrong
Another presidency by the Orange Blowhard will be a nightmare on all fronts- including our democracy, the economy, the rule of law and relations abroad. You think Biden/Harris is “bad”, well get ready for total chaos multiplied many times over compared to his last administration.

Ukraine is amazing! Responsible for the depletion of US stockpiles of weapons that were never sent to Ukraine and for the price of diesel that was stable throughout months Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, and only spiked when Trump attack attacked Iran.
Trump blames Ukraine and Democrats for high gas prices

Both nights I have been in Riyadh there have been urgent alerts issued about Houthi missiles heading toward the city. This is now a full blown regional war - just as every expert predicted if the U.S. attacked Iran. A disaster of Trump’s making.
Security Alert: U.S. Mission Saudi Arabia (October 5, 2026) Due to the ongoing security situation in Saudi Arabia and the potential for aerial drone or missile attacks on Saudi Arabia, the U.S. Mission strongly encourages all U.S. citizens to remain vigilant and follow the guidance of national alerts released by Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defense.

Historian Tim Snyder compares what Trump is doing in Latin America to Soviet tactics in Eastern Europe after WWII: rig elections, apply threats, install the leadership you want. His description of Trump’s approach: “smash and grab.”

There are over 115,000 active-duty personnel stationed in and around San Diego, California. The place Donald Trump just told Iran to attack. Trump hates America.

This should outrage every American. This is the president of the United States telling Iran to bomb American cities. I live in Los Angeles, but that’s beside the point. Tommorow it could be your city. My fellow Americans, this is not normal. This is not funny. This behavior should ring alarm bells for us all!
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

War is alive and well in Yemen now, war has broken out in northern Ethiopia, the Iran war is unresolved, Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has worsened, and the IDF keeps pounding Gaza. So when is that “peacenik” the Orange Blowhard getting his Nobel prize?

How quaint a headline @CBSNews Hastert was just “violating banking laws”…and why? Guess you have to read the fine print. He was another GOP pedo predator who ruined many young lives. I’m sure Pedo Protector Gym Jordan is all broken up about Denny @Jim_Jordan
