The irresponsible GOP

“The president’s solutions-focused approach to legal roadblocks necessitated thinking outside the constitutional box.”

It’s not that our lawmakers are stupid and don’t know climate change exists, it is just that money is more important to them than literally anything else. They’re running the country like a business and if people die or get hurt, too bad.

Tha GOP "small" government.

Russian bastards

Oooh, the Trump clan going at it.

Worried about getting deported? These sheet-pan kisra will make you feel like you're in South Sudan.

Donald Trump just approved the largest meat company in the world to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange—completely ignoring its history of corruption and bribery. Why? Maybe because they donated $5M to his inauguration. I'm pressing for answers.

83 million Americans get health care through Medicaid.

Looks good!

Trump is a killer

Not sure what they are discussing

Trump would HATE it if you took this free Harvard course on Civic Engagement, so definitely don’t do that, okay? 😇 pll.harvard.edu/course/we-pe... #PeoplesMovement #50501Movement #June14 #NoKings

What a nutter

Wtf

Impressive

SCOTUS made a ruling this week in support of Big Oil by narrowing the scope of the National Environmental Policy Act, and of course the Democratic Party is mostly silent about it. This kind of liberal negligence isn't a bug, it's a feature. They play dumb so the billionaires win.

The richest person in the world is an asshole. www.distractify.com/p/was-elon-m...

Trump loves to fear-monger about immigrants "bringing drugs into the country" and "taking away American jobs" but the only immigrant who did that at any large or criminal scale was Elon Musk, and Trump loves him.
