At a town hall Republicans didn’t want to hold, a furious Veteran called out Rep. Chuck Edwards, R-NC:
"I’m a Veteran, and you don’t give a f**k about me."
"You need to stand up for us. You need to do what we need you to f**king do."
THEN GOT ESCORTED OUT!

Elon Musk Hit With First Formal Conflict Of Interest Complaint Over FAA-Starlink Deal
Musk has long faced concerns about his Trump administration work posing a conflict of interest with his private companies.

Yeah. Here in MD there are definitely big concerns over impacts to all the funding cuts from the NIH, USAID etc for research and the DOGE layoffs. A lot of people I work with know someone that's affected by it negatively - not counting concern over funding for our own work
(I'm not a government employee).
Saw an article predicting an 80% chance of recession in the DC metro this year because of all of this.

Federal Workers Union rages after Elon Musk shares X post that ‘Hitler didn’t murder millions, public sector workers did’
Workers blasted DOGE hatchet man Elon Musk Thursday after he reposted a startling message on X declaring that “Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Public sector employees did.”Lee Saunders, union president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees of the AFL-CIO, fired off a furious response saying: “America’s public service workers — our nurses, teachers, firefighters, librarians — chose making our communities safe, healthy and strong over getting rich. They are not, as the world’s richest man implies, genocidal murderers.”
He added: “Elon Musk and the billionaires in this administration have no idea what real people go through every day. That’s why he’s so willing to take a chainsaw to people’s jobs, Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare.”

USA Today Opinion piece today is pure comedy Gold Jerry.
In fact, it’s going in a direction the Marxist liberals refer to as “down,” as evidenced by Thursday’s 537-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The Dow is down nearly 4,000 points over the past month and the S&P 500 closed in correction Thursday.
The true MAGA believers among us know everything is fine and President Trump – who once described tariffs as “the most beautiful word in the dictionary” – knows exactly what he’s doing by announcing tariffs, then de-announcing those tariffs and then announcing more tariffs. It’s a little thing called “consistency” – look it up, libs.
To which I say: “Woo-hoo! You go Tariff Man! I’m not exactly sure what tariffs are, but President Trump assured me I won’t pay a thing, so I’m certain this will all work out fine.”
But for some reason, the stock markets don’t seem to share my MAGA optimism. They aren’t doing what they’re supposed to be doing, which is agreeing with every action President Trump takes by going up and making America rich again.
This will work out perfectly for everyone, because, as Trump said on the campaign trail in September: “We’re going to be a tariff nation. It’s not going to be a cost to you. It’s going to be a cost to another country.”
In this case, the other countries are Nasdaqia, Dow Jonestinia and the Kingdom of S&P 500.
They will pay for trying to rip off America and make our president look bad by not making their charts move in an impressively upward direction.
That will teach those insolent markets to respond negatively to Trump’s sensible strategy of making sure no other country on earth has the foggiest idea what America is doing. For far too long, the world and the U.S. markets have envied our stability and predictability. Well, no more of that.
America’s No. 1 export is now chaos, and who better to sow that chaos than a president whose brain is clearly big and amazing and also never wrong?
It doesn’t take a stable genius to know that if you grab a bad stock market chart and invert it, it becomes a good stock market chart and all the money falls out and drops into your 401(k). Duh.
(While he’s at it, Trump needs an associated executive order that reverses all public polling, because a new CNN poll found 51% of voters saying Trump’s actions have made the economy worse and a Reuters/Ipsos poll found 70% of Americans think Trump’s tariffs will increase prices and a Quinnipiac poll found 54% of voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy.)
Go, Tariff Man! No one will ever (be allowed to) doubt you!
With Dow dropping unpatriotically, Trump should threaten tariffs on stocks
While President Donald Trump is brilliantly running around shouting “TARIFFS!” and then shouting “NOT!” at America’s so-called allies, the stock market is rudely and unpatriotically refusing to go up.In fact, it’s going in a direction the Marxist liberals refer to as “down,” as evidenced by Thursday’s 537-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The Dow is down nearly 4,000 points over the past month and the S&P 500 closed in correction Thursday.
The true MAGA believers among us know everything is fine and President Trump – who once described tariffs as “the most beautiful word in the dictionary” – knows exactly what he’s doing by announcing tariffs, then de-announcing those tariffs and then announcing more tariffs. It’s a little thing called “consistency” – look it up, libs.
Trump's tariffs make perfect sense, if you like nonsense
For example, Trump put 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum from the European Union, so the European Union responded with 50% tariffs on imports of U.S. whiskey, leading Trump to threaten Thursday morning to put 200% tariffs on European wine and champagne.To which I say: “Woo-hoo! You go Tariff Man! I’m not exactly sure what tariffs are, but President Trump assured me I won’t pay a thing, so I’m certain this will all work out fine.”
But for some reason, the stock markets don’t seem to share my MAGA optimism. They aren’t doing what they’re supposed to be doing, which is agreeing with every action President Trump takes by going up and making America rich again.
Time for Trump to get tough on the markets and put tariffs on stocks
It’s clear something must be done to straighten out the markets, and the first step – obviously – is for Trump to slap tariffs on stocks.This will work out perfectly for everyone, because, as Trump said on the campaign trail in September: “We’re going to be a tariff nation. It’s not going to be a cost to you. It’s going to be a cost to another country.”
In this case, the other countries are Nasdaqia, Dow Jonestinia and the Kingdom of S&P 500.
They will pay for trying to rip off America and make our president look bad by not making their charts move in an impressively upward direction.
The only way to make stocks go up is to threaten them
I would recommend a 50% tariff to start with, followed by a cancellation of that tariff after representatives of Nasdaqia and the other nations threaten reciprocal tariffs, followed by a 12,000% tariff just to make them sweat.That will teach those insolent markets to respond negatively to Trump’s sensible strategy of making sure no other country on earth has the foggiest idea what America is doing. For far too long, the world and the U.S. markets have envied our stability and predictability. Well, no more of that.
America’s No. 1 export is now chaos, and who better to sow that chaos than a president whose brain is clearly big and amazing and also never wrong?
If you turn the stock charts upside down, they look great, to be honest
Along with a tariff threat on the markets, the president should also issue an executive order mandating that all stock market charts be flipped upside down so they look better.It doesn’t take a stable genius to know that if you grab a bad stock market chart and invert it, it becomes a good stock market chart and all the money falls out and drops into your 401(k). Duh.

Go, Trump! Go, Tariff Man! The markets love chaos!
These simple steps will absolutely make the stock markets soar or appear to soar and also show everyone that President Trump is strong and right and amazing and in no way forcing people to delay retirement indefinitely or pick up a second job to afford groceries.Go, Tariff Man! No one will ever (be allowed to) doubt you!

GOP Senator Massie is the only Republican to vote against the Spending bill passed by Congress. He stood up and said he wasn't afraid of Trump and that the Bill would increase the Defecit and he would not support it and he didn't. Trump and other Republicans have very loudly called for him to be primaried for this and His Office and staff over the last 3 days since his No Vote have been Overwhelmed with Death Threats.
So How is it all impact Massie and his future as a Politician to be a Republican to stand against Trump ??
Rep. Thomas Massie told Fox News Digital on Thursday morning that he had hauled in $261,000 in campaign donations in recent days since President Donald Trump targeted him for ouster for opposing a government-funding measure.
"In less than three days, I’ve received $261,000 through 3,203 individual donations, without sending an email, a text, or a phone call. It’s a fundraising record for me and it’s boosted my current cash on hand north of $1.1 million," Massie said in a statement.
After Trump took a swing at Massie in a Truth Social post on Monday night, the congressman responded in a tweet on Tuesday by soliciting campaign donations.
"I’ve drawn opponents in my last three primaries who knew they couldn’t run to the right of me, so they ran to the Trump of me," Massie said in his statement to Fox News Digital on Thursday.
"Overwhelmingly, in each instance, voters in Kentucky rejected them because I have a decade of consistently putting America and my constituents first. None of my opponents received more than 20% of the vote, but that’s because we ran excellent campaigns with the resources needed to win. For instance, my allies and I spent $2,000,000 in my 2020 primary when Trump attacked me for opposing the COVID bailouts. That’s why I’m taking this threat seriously and asking for grassroots donations on X," Massie noted.
