What if I told you the @SenateGOP slipped a poisoned pill into the legislation they sent back to @HouseGOP and that poisoned pill was going to create one hell of a payday for some of them…I’m sure some of you might think I was making it up.

We paid El Salvador to torture, abuse, and rape completely innocent Venezuelans so that Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, and Donald Trump could claim they were tough on immigrants.

More than 252 Venezuelans expelled to El Salvador under Trump’s mass deportation policy suffered systematic and prolonged torture and abuse, including sexual assault, during their detention, according to a Human Rights Watch report published on Wednesday. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/n…

Republican Senators put a provision in the leg branch approps bill to let themselves sue for millions in taxpayer money over Jan. 6 wiretaps. If Trump’s DOJ doesn’t fight them they just get a bunch of money. Like an earmark but it goes to them personally: nytimes.com/2025/11/10/us/…

Last night, Susan Collins voted against a 1-year extension of the ACA subsidies, which would have stopped insurance premiums from increasing by 77 percent - or over $8,400 on average - in Maine. RETWEET to let Maine know @SenatorCollins voted to raise health care costs!

MAGA is out here shrieking about Zohran being a jihadist Islamist about to impose sharia law while Trump warmly welcomes a former Al Qaeda leader designated terrorist to the White House.

So apparently, they CAN insert policy issues outside of government funding as long as it means Republicans get a giant payout from the American taxpayer? Not a cent for health care, but Republicans wrote in a corrupt cash bonus of at least $500k each for 8 GOP Senators. 📜💰🤷‍♀️

New spending bill would pave the way for Senators to sue for $500,000 each over phone records searches -- and appears to make 8 GOPers immediately eligible nytimes.com/2025/11/10/us/…

A US citizen illegally detained by ICE for 73 days. Trump’s America.

OMG the Cincinnati Children’s hospital Pastor speaks after being detained for 73 days by ICE and he is a legal U.S citizen & they knew it when they took him & they’ve known it for all 73 days! He said the there are a lot of people in there that are U.S citizens & no crimes ever!

As most people know, I have spent many years following the details of Trump’s controversies, scandals, corruption and more but even I had missed this story. Other politicians would have been destroyed by this single story. But not Trump. No one ever asks him about this.

Trump's pardon of allies who helped him try to subvert the 2020 election is important. It's a permission slip--no, it's an encouragement, even an order--to allies to be ready to try to subvert the elections in 2026, and 2028. politi.co/3WN7A3T

A president selling his own products in military stores violates 5 CFR §2635.702, which bans using the office for personal gain. It also violates the Hatch Act. Military exchanges are meant to serve troops, not a president’s business.

Jack Smith just responded to GOP threats against him with a letter to Republican Senator Chuck Grassley demanding to testify on LIVE TELEVISION, “so that the American people can hear the facts directly”. Do you agree with Jack Smith?

6 of Trump's businesses declared bankruptcy, and he was banned from operating a business in New York because of fraud... so, yeah... exactly like he's running the country.

Karoline Leavitt: “President Trump is running the country the same way he ran his business.”
