Article I, Section 8, [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To declare War ... Trump does has no the authority to declare war on Iran, either formally or by authorizing military to act in ways tantamount to the same. Why are Republicans so willing to give away their Constitutional authority?

Impossible to look at Trump’s parade and not see Soviet-era military parades in Red Square, or compare troops in LA with Tiananmen Square and Kent State. The counter in NO KINGS protests in my town and across America shows who we are and need to be. Standing up against fascism and autocracy.

The problem with peaceful protests in US is law enforcement very rarely allows them to remain peaceful because they assault protestors with tear gas and “non-lethal” weapons, rough up citizens when they feel like it. Trump is escalating to claim more power. US troops do not belong in our cities.

SensTodd Young and Ted Cruz propose rebranding Pride Months as “Life” month to “recognize the dignity of human life.” Republicans might talk about the dignity of human life, but when they show their work, it’s all the opposite. Cuts to Medicaid and SNAP do not promote human dignity, for example.

This is insane. Wetlands provide essential services and need to be protected. If taxpayers are subsidizing farmers,it is not unreasonable to get something in return. Crop insurance subsidies alone are almost $12 billion, with the average subsidy being 60% of cost. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

Untenable because the billionaires buy Trump and others politicians don’t want it. “Mr. Trump suggested that he liked the idea of making millionaires pay higher taxes to help offset tax cuts for others but also said it would be politically untenable.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

Another Trump lie. “When asked by reporters Thursday afternoon if he believed Abrego Garcia was entitled to due process, Trump ducked the question. “I have to refer, again, to the lawyers,” he said in the Oval Office. “I have to do what they ask me to do.” apnews.com/article/abre...

Elon Musk, Ken Griffon, Ken Langone (Home Depot) are complaining about Trump’s tariffs. You bought Trump, you own the tariffs and the economy. No returns But, you say, there was a manufacturing defect. No, we answer. This was a feature that was well-publicized by Trump before purchase.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Trump is an economic illiterate. We are all screwed because Trump cares only about his perceived power. All he’s doing is causing the U.S. to bleed out. Losing on all fronts, internally and globally. Our allies will just work around him. Even his billionaire donors will lose. What a fuck-up.

Trump is trying to divert attention away from his misdeeds by with a third term. He pulls this out every time momentum is gaining in opposition to his activities. The national security breach by ALL of his top defense and security people is certainly one of those moments. IGNORE the bait.

Trump during NBC News interview today “…I couldn’t care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American-made cars.” What is an American-made car? Assembled in America but not made in America. Every car assembled in American uses imported parts. Trump clueless per usual

House and Senate are ceding all of their Constitutional authority to Trump and his unelected billionaire-puppet master/co-president. Why are they there? Spending bill gave over the power of the purse officially. I guess Trump voters don’t like the Constitution, except certain parts of the 2nd A.

Chuck Schumer’s term in the Senate doesn’t end until 2029. Democrats need to replace him in leadership now because he’s doing an unfathomably poor job. He’s never been a great leader. This country needs strong oppositional leadership. Elevate Senate and House Dems who are doing this to leadership.
