Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

HOW are you getting it done? By pushing the victim to surrender. WHY wouldn’t there be a war if you were president? Because you would’ve allowed Russia to bulldozer Ukraine. Also, BORING. YAWN.

Harris was right. Must be why they skipped the planned meal in Anchorage last Friday. Putin wasn't hungry because he had already eaten Trump for lunch.

Donald Trump (preventing the release of the Epstein files because he’s all over them, transferred Gislaine Maxwell to a low security prison) just intervened in a child sex crime arrest in Nevada and let the guy go because he’s friends with Netanyahu.

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

So apparently Laura Loomer freaked out over a video of Palestinian children receiving medical care in the US, and now Trump’s cutting off medical visas from Gaza. The media needs to dig into that relationship—because a conspiracy theorist is whispering in the president’s ear.

My God, these White House people are incompetent. But I love the phonetic spelling in the docs for "Mr. President POO-tihn."
