ATTORNEY GENERAL MATT GAETZ, WE ARE A LAUGHINGSTOCK
Donald Trump’s selection of former Congressman Matt Gaetz as Attorney General has caused grave concern, especially given the accusations against Gaetz amid an ethics investigation involving child sex trafficking. Gaetz’s prior calls to abolish agencies like the FBI, CDC, ATF, and DOJ have raised further questions about his suitability to lead the DOJ. Nonetheless, some Republican senators, including Markwayne Mullin, Ron Johnson, and Lindsey Graham, have expressed trust in Trump’s judgment. Mullin, who previously criticized Gaetz for inappropriate behavior, now supports Trump’s decision, while Johnson and others describe the pick as “smart.” Although some Republicans, such as Senator Susan Collins, are unsettled by Gaetz’s nomination, the broader response within the party reflects alignment with Trump’s choices.
TULSI DNI: Just give Putin an office at the White House
Donald Trump’s choice of Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence has sounded the alarm over America’s national security secrets due to her history of echoing Russian narratives. Gabbard, once a Democratic congresswoman and now an Trump supporter, has voiced concerns about U.S. biolabs in Ukraine, which critics see as aligning with Russian propaganda. Her past opposition to U.S. actions in Syria and close ties with Russia have fueled suspicions of foreign sympathies. Trump’s decision, which follows a Project 2025 call to expand DNI powers, raises questions about Gabbard’s suitability for the role, with some speculating about her motivations and political shift to the right.

Trump might make ALINA HABBA his Press Secretary!
Donald Trump is reportedly considering Alina Habba as his potential press secretary. Habba, one of Trump's former attorneys, has a history of shamelessly defending Trump in the courtroom and in the media during his civil and criminal trials. When asked about her potential role, she gave a non-committal answer, jokingly deferring the decision to her children. Trump is also considering Scott Jennings, a CNN contributor and Trump supporter, as an alternative for the position. The latest news is that Habba herself says she won’t be Trump’s next press secretary, but the position has not yet been filled.

MAGA loser finds voter fraud, blames MASSIVE DUMPS
Eric Hovde claims he lost the Wisconsin Senate race due to voting inconsistencies, citing a late-night absentee ballot report from Milwaukee that heavily favored his opponent, Senator Tammy Baldwin. He mentioned receiving early congratulatory calls based on projections that indicated he would win but was surprised by a significant shift in results at 4 a.m. Hovde finds it statistically improbable that Baldwin received nearly 90% of the reported absentee ballots and points to high turnout percentages in certain Milwaukee precincts as suspicious. Hovde, currently behind by about 30,000 votes, has chosen to wait for finalized election results before making any further statements.

I suggest that we come together to pay for the cost of publishing on several newspapers the wikipedia summary of Kennedy's background. We should buy a page on each important newspaper. Can somebody take the lead on this? First read the cited summary to know better who the future leader of USA's ealt program is.
