Not only is Mike Lawler carrying Trump’s water, he’s straight up gaslighting us.
📌QUESTION: “Do you think the war is going well?”
📌ANSWER: “On the whole, I do.”
And from there, it goes completely off the rails.
A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?
The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

The insider trading is off the rails and there is no one to stop it
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

“Ready for some bullshit? You paid the the higher prices… They raised prices on you to cover the tariffs, kept prices high, and now they get the refund.
Also: 88 of the largest US corporations paid zero income tax in 2025.”

Michigan's powerful investor-owned utility giant, DTE, is funding a sham "grassroots" group called the Ann Arbor Responsible Energy Coalition, whose mailing address is DTE's own headquarters in Detroit. The new group is bankrolled by out-of-state donations and from a lobby in Washington, D.C.

I don’t want a guy like this as the head of the Federal Reserve. I want Mrs. Pella, my high school accounting teacher. She would be incredible.

Trump sued his own government, and now he's trying to "settle" the case. This is nothing more than a corrupt attempt by the president to shake down American taxpayers and further enrich himself. abcnews.com/US/trumps-la...
He's married to billionaire Jane Lauder of the Estee Lauder fortune. Her father, Ronald Lauder, is in the Epstein files 900+ times, is a huge supporter of far-right Israel politicians including war criminal Netanyahu and funds the violent Settlors who murder Palestinians and steal their property.
Kevin Warsh, has already made it clear that he will be nothing more than Trump’s lackey, he will not be an independent Fed Chair, he couldn’t even admit Biden won 2020 election, there will be no independence, so disqualifying…
