Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.

Los Angeles, CA is not under occupation by illegal aliens. This is a lie.

I live in a working and middle class neighborhood. Lots of families. No one I know is taking any vacations this summer. Not even to drivable locales. The American standard of living is TANKING into nightmare status.

Pakistan is literally getting away with the murder of hundreds of thousands if not millions of people over the past 12 mos. w/it's deportation drive against Afghan refugees. Murder.

Republicans were never about small gov't or libertarianism. Rand Paul is a total fraud.

The Fed Gov't should have pressed domestic EV makers to stick w/the $15k model in exchange for subsidies/tax benefits. This would have boosted the industry & ended the awful used car sector. And it would have had serious environmental impact. But instead 🇺🇸 just gave Musk billions. #TeslaTakedown

Sadly, the EV Subsidies were always useless to middle and working class people. Had the cars been sold for, say, $15k, then they money would have made a huge difference. But these EV's are extremely expensive for most Americans. So it was always bullcrap.

Trump has done nothing to lower the cost of living for Americans. Zero. He is completely corrupt and incompetent.

Drag shows are corrupting our children...oh, hold on a sec...

Sitting President threatens private citizen over exercising a basic 1st Amendment Right. Could you imagine if Trump said something like "If you convert to Methodism, they'll be serious consequences." Another impeachable & removable offense. #NoKings www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Do not believe the news on this. This situation is going to INTENSIFY and is NOT going away. Once a document like this is created, it takes on a life of its own. It’s like a modern version of the Pelican Brief. youtu.be/4sIHlj13VT4?...

Silence Is Complicity Straighten your spine Speak & live your truth

TACO

Everyone accused of a crime is entitled to Due Process. In America people just don’t disappear. Our lives have value.

While you’re doomscrolling and 👀watching the Elon vs. Trump drama unfold… 📞 Take 2 minutes to call your Senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to vote NO on the big ugly budget bill that slashes Medicaid, Medicare, food assistance, and more. #TrumpsBillWillKill

Millions unemployed in Trump’s America. Of course. www.marketwatch.com/story/over-7...

Trump’s bullcrap “Big Beautiful Bill” will give the Billionaires the bank while the rest of us are left to starve, suffer & die. No thank you. www.npr.org/2025/06/04/g...

Drag Queens continue to besiege our cities...oh wait...

Entrepreneurs are no longer the heroes of the Republican Party. It was all a lie. It was always a lie.

The president of the United States is openly threatening a private citizen w/governmental economic retaliation b/c of his views. Yeah, Musk is slime but this is yet another impeachable and removable offense.

The United States was not founded as a Christian state. There are no religious tests, straightforwardly stated, for public office. MTG gets it wrong, always, when it comes to the facts.

Grocery prices are soaring here in Scranton. I just walked out of Walmart this morning w/two bags of food. Price: $45.00. Trump is a LIAR and a FRAUD.

Trump’s big, beautiful BETRAYAL contains: ❌ Over $1 trillion in health care cuts ❌ Over $800 billion in Medicaid cuts ❌ Almost $300 billion in ACA cuts ❌ A TRILLION DOLLAR TAX HANDOUT FOR THE ULTRA-RICH

Russ Vought lies on CNN: "The reality is that this bill reduces debt and deficits, and I'm explaining to you why Congressional Budget Office skews their results."

I love the House of Representatives. In America. In Australia. In Jamaica. They’re ALL the same in an amazing way…vigorous, combative and occasionally hilarious. youtu.be/A5vDyel3kUA?...

White House in Panic Mode b/c of Musk #NoKings youtu.be/Xd4PfJOJcx4?...

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 could have had decades of some of the highest living standards of the past 100 yrs. Norway 🇳🇴 level prosperity. But the English took it all away & blamed the indigenous population, just like they did w/Ireland’s wheat during the Great Famine.

News from #Scranton: Our old Dem Congressman won't run again. Good. Another Moderate Dem that so failed us in meeting the moment after Trump's defeat is OUT. Moderate Dems brought us Trump. Biden. Harris. Garland.

Musk now getting a taste of mercurial rule. It's all good, even if nothing else comes of it.

Unregulated capitalism is in every way just as inefficient, murderous & unjust as Stalin's Communist Russia. That's not me talking; it's the message of the main sculpture in front of the FTC Bldg in D.C. After all, what did every person before 1940 know an unbridled 🐴 was capable of? Killing.

Murderously vapid. Our Democratic allies mean nothing to him. The carnage. He laughs at it. This is the demented maniac in the White House. If the Republic survives this fiend, I don't even know if it's worth keeping the Presidency as is. Perhaps make it ceremonial? www.npr.org/2025/06/06/n...

I'm old enough to remember when AG Bondi had the audacity to sign✍️off on the Gift/Bribe of a $300 Million ✈️ directly for Trump's use. A violation of the Emoluments Clause & Other 🇺🇸 Laws. The FL Bar will 🤣 her out of her disbarment hearing. Every Career Trump🤡Touches Dies. Ask Rudy & Eastman.

Rick Wilson has an open letter to Elon that I think Elon should hear. Some advice on how to proceed from here. Does anyone still have a Twitter account? Can you send this to Elon?😁 @therickwilson.bsky.social #usapoli #protestTrump #Teslatakedown #Epstein #bromancebreakup youtu.be/HahPAs16LjE?...

That James Comey thing was pretty short lived. It was all over the news and now it’s gone. Man this DC Admin is brittle but weak.

This really isn't about employer-provided insurance. That's really not a thing in 2025. The aim is to just kill people, to practice Social Murder like the Tories did in Victorian Britain to the Irish. We get it.

Man, now that Elon's at war w/the Trump White House, how is he going to come after all those #TeslaTakedown protesters? It might just be me, but it seems like that effort got maximum results for modest investments.

Elon just doesn't get it. Trump is a demented, malignant narcissist. Like himself, people are entirely disposable. Warm, bonding moments that YOU may cherish mean ZERO to them. Trump will dispose of you in an instant. He will walk over your dead body w/glee.
