By the way, if we need a drone complex in DC, there are military bases nearby set up for that kind of thing. Fort McNair is three miles from the White House. Just kick out Stephen Miller, Hegseth, and Rubio, and build a drone center where they've been living in taxpayer housing.
We really are getting into 'The Death of Stalin' and "Der Untergang' ('Downfall') territory.

(🚨) PROOF EXCLUSIVE: A Dozen Ways Trump Is Rigging the Midterms
This isn’t a listicle. It’s an exhaustive, sourced report on the most under-attack election cycle in American history. Whatever the result in November—and we should all vote for the one we want—Trump *has* criminally rigged the system.

PROOF EXCLUSIVE: A Dozen Ways Trump Is Rigging the Midterms
Everyone should vote. Democrats may do well. But neither of those facts alters the reality of what the 2026 midterms are: a rigged event under assault by a fascist, his regime, and his foreign allies.
