Replying to @JDVance
@JDVance Team giving color abt his involvement in Venezuela operation. If anyone thinks he may be on a different page than Pres Trump, think again. He joined via conference call so the motorcade didn't tip anyone off... "Vice President Vance was deeply integrated in the process and planning of the Venezuela strikes and Maduro’s arrest. He joined several late night meetings via secure video conference with National Security principals leading up to the operation. The Vice President briefly met with President Trump at the Trump golf club in West Palm Beach during the day Friday to discuss the strikes. The Vice President was not at Mar-a-Lago on Friday night, as the National Security team was concerned a late-night motorcade movement by the Vice President while the operation was getting underway may tip off the Venezuelans. The Vice President joined by secure video conference throughout the night to monitor the operation. He returned to Cincinnati after the operation concluded. Due to increased security concerns, the Administration has aimed to limit the frequency and duration of the Vice President and President being co-located away from the White House."

History will harshly judge the failure of our legal/political system to hold Trump accountable for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election (including his sponsorship of Jan6). So many culprits: Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, Republicans in Congress, and yes, 77 million voters.

Noni Madueke on criticism when he signed for Arsenal: “It was a little factor [in proving myself]. I’m a confident player, I don’t like anyone telling me that I can’t do something, but it’s really my team-mates & the staff, the belief they have in me.” 😤

USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

How many fossil fuel-funded Republicans does it take to deliver on one president's promise? Trump pledged to cut your energy bills in half. Instead, costs are UP 10% and STILL CLIMBING.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast. But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.
